Ryan : But I want you to check out the docile tones of Vin Diesel

Chick: Can't wait to hear it

Ryan: Hello Vin

Vin: Hey

(laughter)

Chick: Wow

(laughter)

Ryan: It almost sounds like you talk through a machine that manipulates the voice

Chick: Allll Vin

Vin: My god a machine thats funny

Ryan: When did your voice change

Vin: ahhh my voice changed when I was like fifteen years old I went through that voice changing experience at about 14.. and then I would call my friends and their mothers would pick up the phone and they would say Oh My Gawd you sound like this boy I just used to… you know.. very funny.. then id say.. is Dave there…

Ryan: It looks like you continue to maintain your workout program for this one.. ahhh again im just telling you as an onlooker it’s the first thing I notice.. Im like .. “my god how much oil do they put on his arms in that trailer?”

Vin; Its sweat but go ahead

Ryan: Theres no way that’s sweat… That’s grease man

Vin: Noooo man

Ryan: That’s part of the job is it.. you have to maintain that four or five day a week workout for these roles..

Vin: NO for this….

Ryan: Don’t tell me that’s all natural

Vin: No NO .. I was a bouncer for nine years so all I did was work out when I was bouncing cuz that’s all you needed to do ummm but for this role we came up with a fighting style called cali.. which is a fighting style that allows you to synchronizes a knife in each hand and fight multiple opponents it’s a fighting style that originated in Spain and then traveled to the Philippines… so we incorporated that fighting style for Riddick

Ryan: its actually a skill we should all have.. CPR and then that

Chick: Double knife fighting… multiple attackers

Ryan: And being a bouncer years ago.. were you the type of guy.. Cuz I been to some of these clubs and the bouncers act like the rule the universe.. were you that type of bouncer

Vin: Yeah

Ryan: You were the jerk huh

(laughter)

Vin: Yeah

(laughter)

Vin: No I wasn’t the jerk.. What are you a moron

(laughter)

Vin: I’ll kill you…(laughter) I’ll Kill YOU … Ahh No I was

Ryan: He was the guy who would let our girlfriends in but we couldn’t go in..

Chick: Right

Vin: Well what would you do?

Ryan: I would be very sweet…Id probably wouldn’t be a bouncer.. but if I was..

Vin: Youd be..youd be the nice bouncer.. youd be like Yes bring all your boyfriends in..

(laughter)

Vin: god man

Chick: How did you know vin…

Vin: This is New York City… This is New York City… Bouncing had a novelty in the beginning… of course it wared off.. when my friends started ending up in the hospital or dead…

Ryan: and Chick MMhmm uhh

Ryan: and now look at your life can you believe millions and millions of dollars to do these in the past.. action flicks.. but your also working on a comedy aren’t you?

Vin: I’m doing a comedy now called the pacifier

Ryan: Ahuh and that’s shootig in Toronto?

Vin: That’s shooting in Toronto .. yeah

Ryan: Why did you want to do a.. cuz I look at you and I think action.. why did you want to do a comedy?

Vin: Because.. umm I wanted to take a break from the dark kind of brooding roles that have been .. that sometimes can be emotionally taxing.. like an a man apart role.. or a very dark and intense role like Riddick.. this film that ive been doing now has been like a vacation from all that.. ive been an actor since I was seven years old.. so I acted.. I was acting before I ever kinda looked like an action hero.. and I was always drawl to the role regardless of the genre.. ummm and I guess what ended up happened was.. these films took off and that’s where people felt comfortable

Ryan: I read tom hanks said to you once.. pick the roles your afraid of..

Vin: That’s right.. that’s right.. he did say that

Chick: Were you afraid of comedies?

Vin: That’s why I did the pacifier… it’s a guy whose a navy seal who comes to protect a family and by the end of the film he’s directing a stage performance of the sound of music…

Ryan: mmhmm can we run through some things that we have on sheet… some stories that ive read recently

Number one that your linked to Jessica Alba.. is that true or false?

Vin: I’m linked to Jessica Alba?

Ryan: Remember Jessica alba.. dark angel.. Hottie

Vin: Yeah.. Gorgeous.. I wish I could..(laughter )Iwish I could… (laughter) I wish could say Yes..

Chick: Aww well maybe you guys will hook up in the future

(laughter)

Vin: That’s not the worse thing in the world.. that’s ahhh

Ryan: There was also a story..

Vin: When did that come out?

Ryan: It was about three days ago

Vin: Then you know something I don’t

Ryan: Maybe you could help us with this one Maria Menounous … from Entertainment tonight.. she’s interviewed you several times on the red carpet and also at a press junket.. there were reports that she stayed at the four season the night of the press junket…

Chick: Why are you laughing?

Vin: Because .. I’m missing out on all of this…
