Vin Diesel vetoed the idea of Jean Claude Van Damme appearing in the Fast & Furious franchise. Despite the disappointment, he made the right call.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Action superstar Vin Diesel reportedly vetoed Jean-Claude Van Damme's casting in the Fast & Furious franchise, but rejecting the kickboxing legend's inclusion ultimately makes sense. After the successful debut of The Fast and the Furious back in 2001, the series has seen its fair share of musicians, wrestlers, and even acting legends of old make cameos or outright become a mainstay in the series.
Fast & Furious Doesn't Need Nostalgic Stunt Casting The Fast & Furious franchise has done well enough without needing to rely on unconventional or stunt casting, even from major action stars. Looking back on the series' timeline, each movie has had interesting and modern casting choices such as R&B singer Tyrese Gibson or John Cena, but these casting decisions still felt natural and were a good fit for the movies.
