Vin Diesel has been the star of one of the longest-running franchises in film history: The Fast And The Furious. The American actor has been playing Dominic Torreto since 2001.
Vin Diesel was born Mark Sinclair on July 18, 1967, in Alameda County, California, where his mother was also born, though later moved to New York City with his fraternal twin brother, Paul.
Who are Vin Diesel’s parents?
Vin Diesel’s mother is Delora Vincent an astrologer, but the identity of his biological father is unknown.
His parents reportedly married on 18 July 1967, but Vin and his twin brother never had the chance to meet their parents together because they divorced while she was still pregnant.
Diesel has never met his biological father and is therefore unsure of or unwilling to reveal his ethnicity. Delora has Scottish, German, and English, but his father’s ethnicity remains unclear.
Diesel describes himself as a person of color and racially ambiguous. He once said:
“I don’t know what I am. I’m a combination of many things. I never knew my biological father. I’ve always had less information than I would have liked to have had. All I know from my mother is that I have connections to many different cultures.”
Vin credits his adoptive father Irving H. Vincent for his upbringing and motivation to join the entertainment industry. Vincent was an acting director and theater manager. “The man who raised me is black,” Diesel said. “Culturally he made me who I am. He was a theatre director so he also guided me artistically.”
Who are Vin Diesel’s siblings
Vin Diesel has three siblings: a fraternal twin brother named Paul Vincent, a half-brother named Tim Vincent, and a half-sister named Samantha Vincent.
Paul Vincent
Born Mark Sinclair, he and his twin brother Paul were born in Alameda County, California in 1967.
Although the twins never knew their biological father, they were partly raised by their stepfather and biological mother, Delora.
When they were seven years old, they broke into the New City theatre in the Greenwich Village neighborhood in Manhattan.
The theater’s artistic director caught them. “I thought she was going to call the cops,” he told CNN in 2002.
“She said, ‘If you guys want to play here, come every day at four o’clock and learn your lines.'”
Samantha Vincent
Samantha Vincent is Vin’s half-sister. She was born to his mother and stepfather. Like her famous older brother, Samantha also has a film career.
She is a movie producer and has been the president of Vin’s production company, One Race Films since 2001.
With One Race, she has produced multiple movies in the Fast franchise.
Samantha also holds a master’s degree from Harvard University in educational policy.
She is also a member of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences and the Producers Guild of America.
Tim Vincent
Vin’s youngest brother Tim tends to stay out of the spotlight. He is also Vin’s half-sibling.
Tim’s father, Irving H. Vincent, is an actor, theater teacher, and director.
The family moved to New York and lived in the Westbeth Artists Housing, a federally subsidized building for low-income artists.
Who is Vin Diesel’s twin brother, Paul Vincent?
Vin’s twin brother Paul is a sound editor and has worked on the Fast movies.
The brothers were born 14 minutes apart on July 18, 1967.
Paul and Vin are fraternal twins. In 2016, Vin wished Paul a happy birthday on Instagram.
He said, “Happy Birthday to my original twin brother Paul! I have watched you grow into such a wonderful dad and family man.”
“You have made me proud every step of the way. We love you!” the post caption continued.
Do Vin Diesel’s siblings have any children?
Vin has three kids with his longtime girlfriend, but he is an uncle as well.
Samantha has one daughter, who was born in 2013.
