We haven’t seen Guardians of the Galaxy (surprise, surprise) but we’ve heard that the tree-like character that Vin Diesel plays has only three words that he repeats over and over: “I am Groot.” Diesel’s deep distinctive voice is a major part of all the characters he plays, so the movie’s producers had him dub his OWN voice in several languages: Portuguese, Spanish, Mandarin Chinese , Russian, and French. That way international moviegoers will get the full Groot and Diesel experience.

VIN DIESEL SOUNDS TALLER THAN HE IS

Vin Diesel wanted to stand out in the crowd of celebrities at the London premier of Guardians of the Galaxy, so he arrived on stilts. He’s 6 feet tall but he SOUNDS taller. Diesel supplies the voice of the Marvel Comics character Groot. Groot is a hulking tree-like creature with formidable powers. Since Vin isn’t actually SEEN in the film, he wanted to make his contribution clear – he wore a t-shirt featuring his character’s favorite saying, “I Am Groot.”
