VIDEO: Fast & Furious! Hollywood superstar Vin Diesel delivers inspirational ‘no limit’ message to Karim Benzema & Saudi Pro League champions Al-Ittihad

The Hollywood superstar was granted access to the Al-Ittihad dressing room as they take in pre-season friendly dates during a training camp in Portugal. Diesel was joined by film director and legendary New York Knicks fan Spike Lee.

Diesel is best known for playing the character Dominic Toretto in the Fast & Furious franchise. He is a leader of friends and family in those movies, with motivational speeches often being delivered.

He gave another when crossing paths with Benzema and Co. Diesel said, with an interpreter on hand: “Each one of you should take it upon yourself to take the team as high as you can. You never have a moment off. No matter what time of day it is, you always have to be planning how to elevate your profile, your fame, because you are really talented. There is no limit for you. You are stars. The whole world is going to know your name.”

Diesel signed off by saying, as he turned to embrace Real Madrid legend and former France international Benzema: “I mean that guys, especially you brother.”

Al-Ittihad captured the Saudi Pro League title in 2024-25, fending off competition from the likes of Al-Hilal and Cristiano Ronaldo’s Al-Nassr. Benzema, at 37 years of age, is entering the final year of his contract in Jeddah - with 41 goals recorded so far through 66 appearances.
