I’m not crying, you’re crying. The Fast and Furious movies are all about family, and Vin Diesel definitely seems to practice that off-camera. That includes staying close with Paul Walker’s daughter Meadow, as well as singing with his own daughter. Let’s get this guy on the next Hamilton mixtape.

While some folks out there might be shocked to hear Vin Diesel belting out showtunes, he did musicals as a young person like the rest of us.

Despite the Hamilton filmed production arriving straight to homes last summer, Lin-Manuel Miranda’s award winning musical continues to pierce pop culture. Hamilton recently won an Emmy, beating out Bo Burnham’s Inside in the pre-recorded special category. We’ll just have to wait and see if Vin Diesel treats us to any more covers. Miranda is also making his directorial debut with the movie musical Tick, Tick... Boom!, written by RENT songwriter Jonathan Larson. Smart money says Diesel might enjoy those songs too, as there are some A+ choices for future duets.
