Winter Learning Journey

Day 5
Activity 2
1 The name of the famous person
Vin Diesel

2 Where they were born?

3 Why are they famous?
director, writer and producer Vin Diesel was born Mark Vincent on July 18, 1967, in Alameda County, California. Diesel and his twin brother Paul were raised by their mother Delora and their stepfather, Irving H. Vincent. Their biological father split from their mother before they were born.

4 Two other interesting facts about them?
1 Vin Diesel is an actor known for high-energy action movies that include 'The Chronicles of Riddick' and 'The Fast and the Furious' franchise.
2 Working as a bouncer also left his days free to audition for roles and study English at New York's Hunter College. Diesel drew inspiration from his days as a struggling actor for his first self-made film project—an enterprise that helped launch his career.

  1. Kia ora Dianne,

    I enjoyed reading about Vin Diesel. I didn't know much about him before looking through your blog. The next time that you post the information, can you please make sure that also include a link to the website where you found it? It's really important that we give credit to the original authors of the work (otherwise it looks like we are stealing it and we don't want that:)).

    Cheers,
    Rachel
