Vin Diesel demanded ‘equal number of punches’ during fight with Jason Statham in Fast & Furious

Vin Diesel proposed a numerical system on the set of 2015’s Fast & Furious 7 that made sure he was not being hit, punched or kicked more than his co-star Jason Statham, but was shot down by the film’s producers. According to a very funny story in the Wall Street Journal, Diesel grew concerned on set that Statham was landing more hits against him than vice versa, and suggested to the film’s crew that each hit be assigned a number, so the amount of hits suffered by both men could be shared equally. The suggestion was reportedly abandoned once the crew determined it was “too complicated”, but the story claimed it was one of many instances on the Fast & Furious movies in which stars demanded certain stipulations when it came to their on-screen pride.
