Hollywood actor Vin Diesel praised Bollywood star Priyanka Chopra at the Los Angeles premiere of her action thriller The Bluff, highlighting both her on-screen talent and off-screen kindness. During media interactions, Diesel spoke warmly of Chopra, recalling how she graciously interacted with his children during a European screening.
Diesel also noted their shared birthdays and made a striking comparison, likening Chopra’s positive influence to that of late South African leader Nelson Mandela, emphasizing their mutual aim of making the world a better place.
“She is so amazing in this movie, and she is such an incredible talent… and she was so nice to my kids in Europe. We share birthdays, and the only other person I want you to think about is the late Nelson Mandela. So her, Nelson Mandela, and I, we are all trying to make this world a better place,” Diesel told the press.
