Diesel said: “So, The whole point of the Fast and Furious saga is the idea that brotherhood can be created by bond and not necessarily blood. Therefore, much of Fast and Furious is celebrated by an eternal brotherhood. I never in a million years imagined 21 years ago that, beyond the script and the film, there would be this other guiding light. This other driving force that propels you to be as passionate as you can and manifest in the movie. We’re all mortals, but love is immortal.”
