Here’s why at 92, Michael Caine’s celebrity bestie is Vin Diesel

by

Age is just a number.

Learning from the diverse careers of British acting greats, we grasp the idea that one can always take on a fresh endeavor, even if it means venturing into uncharted territories such as portraying a new sorcerer or an alternate version of a well-known enchanter.

It appears our expectations of them starring in a buddy-cop movie were misplaced. Unfortunately, they are working on an unexpected sequel – a continuation from the 2015 film, “The Last Witch Hunter.

In simpler terms, the movie serves as an insight into this unusual alliance. In this film, Caine portrayed Dolan 36th, a spiritual figure (not a sorcerer), while Diesel assumed the role of the immortal exorcist in the title. They instantly connected from the start.

In his memoir titled ‘Don’t Look Back, You’ll Trip Over,’ Caine expressed that Vin is unique and dear to him. They had their first encounter around 30 years ago at a dinner party, and from the very beginning, Caine found himself taken with Vin due to his warm-hearted nature.

Apparently, he was facing challenging circumstances at that time. I believe this experience might have left a lasting impact on him, as he seemed to appreciate the warmth and affection he received. To make a long story short, we’ve remained close friends ever since.

It’s not a one-sided thing, if you were worried.

For many years now, Michael has been more than just a friend to me. I met him following the loss of a childhood companion. Somehow, his companionship brought healing and love into my life, and I consider myself fortunate for having him as part of it.

If you’re hoping for a late-career Fast & Furious cameo, however, prepare for disappointment.

In 2015, Diesel expressed to The Miami Herald that they had long desired to collaborate on something. When he eventually secured the project and reached out to him, Diesel said his friend initially assumed it was for another Fast & Furious movie, to which he responded, “I don’t drive anymore! How can you ask me to do Fast & Furious?
