The star of this film series was a dancer before he shot to fame in Hollywood alongside a famous actor who was later killed in a tragic accident – can you guess who he is?
Before rocketing to stardom in one of Hollywood’s most beloved films, the famous actor was known for his amazing dance moves.
In the 1980s, the artist spent his youth dancing at Columbus Circle and in Washington Square Park across town.
In a resurfaced video of the artist teaching others how to breakdance, he appears completely unrecognizable without his bald head and ripped body.
While his muscles could now rival a professional bodybuilder, the kid in the video was just a tall teenager trying to impress the crowd by performing inverted worms on the floor.
Can you guess who the ambitious young man wearing the bandana over his head is?

In the 1980s, the artist spent the break of his youth dancing at Columbus Circle and, on the other side of town, in Washington Square Park.
It’s Vin Diesel! He is best known for his role as Dominic Toretto in the Fast & Furious franchise, alongside the late Paul Walker, Jordana Brewster, and Tyrese Gibson.
Over the years, the 56-year-old father of three has spoken about his past as a dancer on numerous talk shows, including an appearance on the Tonight Show With Jay Leno in 2011.
After Leno pulled out a VHS tape showing a group of young dancers, including a baby-faced Diesel, the actor began laughing as he called that period of his life “the good early days.”
Four years later, Kelly Ripa and host Michael Strahan pulled out the same old tape and asked what it’s like to be a street performer.
“It was my first gig,” he said. “Those are the good days… People know I was a bouncer but the real reason I jumped was because I loved dancing and I was dancing for free.”
In 2021, Jimmy Fallon asked about the video, asking Diesel if he remembered making it.
“Yes, I remember doing that. It was the highlight of my life!” he thought.
Diesel made his stage debut when he was seven years old, at the New Town Theater in Greenwich Village, when he appeared in the children’s play “Dinosaur Door.”

According to Vin Diesel’s evidence, he stormed the theater with his brother and friends with the intention of vandalizing it.
After they were arrested by a theater director, they were offered roles in the next show instead of having the police called on them.
He continued to be involved in theater while attending Hunter College, where he studied creative writing, for three years.
At the time, he was working at a nightclub called The Tunnel.
Diesel, considered one of the world’s highest-grossing actors, rose to fame after appearing in Steven Spielberg’s Saving Private Ryan in 1998.
After that, he had films like Boiler Room, The Pacifier, and Find Me Guilty, as well as voice work for video games like The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay, The Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena and the voices of Groot I. and Groot II.
