Through quiet moments on film sets where you observed and learned, to discovering our rich Scottish and Zulu heritage together, you've developed not just skills but character. Every experience, from moonlit ocean conversations on a canoe, to family stories around fires.
.. they have shaped you into someone who understands that true strength protects, wisdom listens, and gentleness leads."

You naturally use your size and presence to make others feel safe rather than intimidated, your voice to encourage rather than diminish," he wrote, proud of the man his son has become.
"As you step into adulthood, I see a man ready to use his strength and wisdom to protect those who have no voice, to unite rather than divide. Keep being that gentle giant who makes everyone feel valued, because the world needs your unique blend of strength, compassion, and heart.
Happy 18th birthday, son. Being your father has been one of the greatest experiences of my life. With boundless love and pride, Dad," Diesel concluded his post.

Priyanka Chopra gets ‘FOMO' as family hosts ‘Heads of State' screening in India: ‘Miss you all'
Priyanka Chopra is all set for the release of her much-awaited action-comedy 'Heads of State'. The film, also starring John Cena and Idris Elba , will hit cinemas on July 2, 2025. But even before it reaches audiences worldwide, Priyanka's family in India got a special first look—and it left her feeling a bit left out! A family screening in India Priyanka's mother Madhu Chopra , brother Siddharth Chopra, and sister-in-law Neelam Upadhyaya planned a sweet surprise by hosting a private screening of 'Heads of State' back home. They posed happily in front of a poster from the film, clearly excited to see Priyanka shine on the big screen. Sharing the lovely moment on her Instagram, Priyanka wrote, "When your family hosts a screening back home. FOMO. Miss you all." Working with John Cena and Idris Elba was 'fantastic' As reported by Money Control, Priyanka spoke about what it was like teaming up with John Cena and Idris Elba. She shared that the experience was "fantastic," and she never felt left out or awkward on set. The project first took shape when Cena and Elba, after working together on 'Suicide Squad', decided they wanted to collaborate again. Seeing the potential, producer Peter Safran brought the idea to life, and soon 'Heads of State' was born. Priyanka loved being a part of this journey. Even though she was the only woman in a team full of strong male energy, she said she always felt included and thoroughly enjoyed herself. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Memperdagangkan CFD Emas dengan salah satu spread terendah? IC Markets Mendaftar Undo A perfect mix of action and comedy The Etimes review has praised 'Heads of State' for striking the right balance between action and comedy. It reads, 'As an action-comedy, the film strikes a fine balance between both genres—neither overshadowing the other. Amid the adrenaline-pumping sequences, there's plenty of room for laughter. Much of the comedy stems from Elba and Cena's sharp repartee, with their flawless comic timing and undeniable chemistry adding to the film's charm. ' It also highlights the exciting range of action scenes, from dramatic fights on Air Force One and speedy train chases to a light-hearted clash with some Polish punk teenagers. As the review puts it, 'From serious fights aboard Air Force One to one on a speeding train and those on the roads to a silly skirmish with Polish punk teenagers, every action sequence is thrilling.'
