Yes, it's time for some eye candy! In celebration of Fast & Furious 6, hitting theaters this weekend, we decided to spotlight the leading men of Fast 6. So, go on, flip through. We promise you'll enjoy. Oh, and we also included a few fun tidbits on Vin Diesel, Paul Walker, Dwayne Johnson, Tyrese Gibson, Ludacris and Luke Evans.
Vin Diesel
"Six years ago, we dared to dream that Fast and Furious could be something significant... special...and yet, I don't think anyone is prepared for what will happen on Memorial Day 2013. P.S. With as much talent as this production has... I am blessed to be a part of it." - Vin Diesel, Facebook
"There’s something special about Dom and Letty that goes beyond me playing the role, or
Michelle playing the role. Theirs is a cherished love, and there’s strength in that. The fact that it exists on the wrong side of the tracks is what makes it even that much more intriguing.” - Universal
Fast and Furious fans were the first to suggest for Vin Diesel and Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson to square off on the big screen via Facebook. Diesel took note and, well, the rest is history.
Ever wonder if your astrological sign is compatible with Vin? Well, here's what you need to know. He was born Mark Vincent on July 18, 1967. Diesel's zodiac sign is Cancer. Side note: His mother was an astrologer and psychologist. His stepfather was an actor and drama teacher.
"Being a physical presence will rule you out of a lot of roles. I couldn’t have done [a movie like] Ferris Bueller’s Day Off with that physical presence. But I like it as part of me; it’s part of what I represent, and I think if Humphrey Bogart were around today he’d be a lot bigger."

Paul Walker
"The one thing I’ve learned over the years is that our films mean a lot to many people, and sometimes it is hard to be objective when you have so much time and effort invested in it. The
most important thing is that we keep our characters
and their stories based in reality." - Universal
According to Walker, everyone got a moment to shine in Fast 6. "I feel like everybody gets
an opportunity to just kick some ass. Everyone’s
got a little more pop, a little more strut to their
step. It’s cool seeing that." - Universal
Walker's first passion was marine biology. In 2006 he joined the Board of Directors of The Billfish Foundation and four years later fulfilled a lifelong dream by starring in The National Geographic channel's Expedition Great White.
He's also a big fan of marine biologist Jacques Cousteau and recently got to meet his son Jean-Michel Cousteau.
@RealPaulWalker: Met the legend, Jean-Michel Cousteau. Son of my childhood idol Jaque [sic] Cousteau today. Check out: http://OceanFutures.org
Turns out this marine lover is no fan of first dates. Sorry ladies! "First dates suck. I don’t like them. So if I can avoid them, I’m going to. And a lot of the time, with me, the way things are in my life, I like it when she’s already been checked out through a group of friends. Someone knows so-and-so and they’re a solid reference. They know what they’re talking about." – Glamour
Walker takes pride on being a guys' guy. "I’m pretty rough around the edges, probably to a fault. I think that’s just the generation that I came up under, the kind of guys that I was raised up under. The neighborhood that I grew up in. There were times, maybe not now, but I think when I was younger I always questioned whether I should be a little more refined. But at the end of the day, I didn’t care that much. I am who I am." – Glamour
Ludacris
Ludacris was happy to see that his character, the auto mechanic with a penchant for illegal street racing, was still doing what he loved, despite the millions he now has in the bank.
"Money doesn’t change Tej. Whereas most people get money and want to quit their jobs, he’s just one of those guys who still wants to do a job that he loves. Of course, whenever you get $10 million your life is going to change. For Tej, he’s still buying exotic cars and tinkering around with computers, but he’s also having fun on the beach.” - Universal
Ludacris attends the London premiere of Fast & Furious 6.
"There's never been an archetypal villain like Shaw in the Fast series. He's incredibly threatening to Dom and the family that audiences have grown up with over the years, and that's exciting to play. You know you've got something great with the script, and then Justin [Lin] decides to crank it up one more speed and add another dimension. It's exciting to be a part of this evolution." - Universal
Evans did not have an opportunity to formally meet most principal cast members prior to his first day of filming. Evans’ first scene of the day was a tense confrontation that had the whole team staring down a handcuffed Shaw who, despite being in the weaker position, oozed ruthless confidence.
Evans, an established stage actor in London’s West End, is a relative newcomer to feature films. Over the last several years he's appeared in a number of high-profile films, including Peter Jackson’s The Hobbit series. He was on that set in New Zealand when he got the call from director Justin Lin to discuss joining the ensemble cast.
Tyrese Gibson
Tyrese on his character: "He’s the guy who doesn’t take life too seriously and has a problem with authority—even with $10 million in the bank. I’m just glad that he remains the same in that respect, because I feel like Roman is the voice of the people. That’s what I love about the character: he always has something to say." - Universal
@Tyrese: @TheRock really thinks he's in better shape than me... Such a shame..!! #Fast6LondonSwag
Tyrese and Diesel celebrating the release of Fast 6.
This action star is also an author. In 2011 he published, How to Get Out of Your Own Way which debuted at number 10 on the New York Times best-seller list. His next writing project Manology was released worldwide February 2013.
Roman B*tches!!!
This might be the funniest video we've found of Tyrese. During a guest appearance on Attack of the Show! Tyrese was forced to confront his fear of owls. Watch the laugh-out-loud moment, here.
Dwayne Johnson
Believe it or not, Dwayne Johnson has a degree in criminology. His inspiration--his criminal record. "I struggled to stay on the right path. I had multiple arrests by the time that I was 17. The last time I was arrested, my parents came down to the police station to get me. My parents were struggling at that time, even to put food on the table. That was a lot of stress at that time and I was adding to it. " -MTV
Upon graduating from the University
of Miami, Johnson followed in the footsteps of his
WWE Hall of Fame father, Rocky Johnson, and
grandfather, High Chief Peter Maivia, by joining the
competitive sports entertainment world of the WWE.
@TheRock: At 15 I was hustlin' cars from crackheads for $40 bucks. I was also kickin' puberty's ass. #CrazyLife
Now that he's no longer a professional wrestler be sure not to call him The Rock. You've been warned. "I no longer am a wrestler. I am now pursuing a future as an actor and someday as a director. I am not The Rock. I am Dwayne Johnson." - Entertainment Magazine

@TheRock: Sunrise 2 things are guaran-damn-teed: Opera House will be in the harbor & I'll be in the gym. #GIJoePremiereSydney
