Vin Diesel gives touching tribute to Robert Downey Jr

Actor Vin Diesel penned a heartfelt note for co-actor Robert Downey Jr and praised the actor with a touching tribute for him.

Taking to his Instagram, Diesel referred to RDJ as Bobby and spoke about how his very existence represents the power of resilience. The ‘Fast and Furious’ actor posted a long message saying that Downey provided him with the inspiration to take Fast 9 to new heights.

The actor also spoke about how the duo has never won an Oscar and that it does not matter, as Downey has affected the world positively with his personality.

As ‘Avengers: End Game’ is breaking records with each passing day, Diesel, who voices the character of Groot in the movie, said, “On the weekend of the highest grossing movie of all times, he (Robert Downey Jr) in the most humble way says, you’re next brother. Fast 9 is going to take the industry to new heights! His belief in me sometimes scares me. I never want to let anyone down. So I will do everything in my power to make sure Fast 9 is everything. I love you RDJ and your brotherhood is truly a gift of which I am eternally grateful for,” he wrote on Instagram.

My brother Bobby... let me tell you about this amazing individual. He has a way of giving everyone he comes in contact with so much inspiration. You see it in the roles he plays. Like me he has never won an Oscar, but that means zero when it comes to how he has affected the world. His very existence represents the power of resilience. The love you have for him pales in comparison to the love I have for his spirit. On the weekend of the highest grossing movie of all times he in the most humble way says, your next brother. Fast 9 is going to take the industry to new heights! His belief in me sometimes scares me. I never want to let anyone down. So I will do everything in my power to make sure FAST 9 is everything! I love you RDJ and your brotherhood is truly a gift of which I am eternally grateful for. #teamstark #wearegroot #disney #marvel #universal #daretodream #teamgroot #domtoretto #FAST9 #leadwithlove #bloodshot #iloveyou
