Hollywood actor Vin Diesel attended the Los Angeles premiere of the action thriller The Bluff, where he praised Priyanka Chopra’s performance and character on and off the screen. The event took place at the TCL Chinese Theatre, drawing attention from film industry insiders and the public for both the movie and the heartfelt acknowledgment exchanged between the two stars.
During the premiere, Diesel spoke to the press about his admiration for Chopra, describing her as an outstanding performer and a person who left a memorable impression on his family. Recalling their previous interactions, he spoke highly of her performance, calling her incredibly talented and sharing how she had warmly interacted with his children during a European screening.
In a video at the premiere, Diesel drew special attention to the unique connection he shares with Chopra, mentioning that they celebrate the same birthday. “First of all, I am going to tell you a little secret. She is so amazing in this movie, and she is such an incredible talent and she was so nice to my kids in Europe when they had a screening. We share birthdays, and the only other person I want you to think about is the late Nelson Mandela. So her, Nelson Mandela and I, we are all trying to make this world a better place,” he said.
