The two brothers were born on July 18, 1967, to Delora Sherleeb a few seconds apart. Paul Vincent doesn't frequently interact with the public, but according to his IMDb biography, he worked as the sound editor for Vin Diesel's 1995 film 'Multi-Facial'. He seemingly loves to live a quiet life away from the public and has only been famous due to his brother.
'The Two Pauls'
In a Facebook post dated March 23, 2014, Diesel introduced his brother Vincent to the world. Sharing a photo of ‘Fast & Furious’ alum Paul Walker with his brother, Vincent, Diesel captioned the post hilariously as “The Two Pauls”. Referring to his on-screen chemistry with Walker that defined brotherhood on-screen, he continued explaining, “Pablo and my mother would have deep conversations... she claimed, that it was no accident that this on-screen duo has come to define brotherhood in Our millennium.”
Then the ‘Riddick’ star went on to explain the picture while introducing the mysterious man, “You see... the other guy in the photo is also named Paul.” Referring to both of their bearded looks, the actor who is known for his iconic bald look quipped, “... and although they look more alike, he is actually my twin brother.”
‘You all know what my twin brother looks like’
In a Facebook live stream from 2015, the ‘XXX’ star took to social media to clarify confusion regarding the identity of his twin brother. Pointing to a photo that circulated online as the picture of his twin brother, Diesel said, "Now, this guy here," before explaining, "You all know what my twin brother looks like... so the whole press trying to have fun, 'We found Vin Diesel's secret twin brother'.”
He then shared his view on the whole incident by saying, “They're so off, and it's so unfair to this guy. I've never met that guy in my life. Stop torturing him. He's not my twin brother." Diesel then continued to talk about his ‘The Two Pauls’ post and showed his viewers the photo of his original twin.The ‘Guardians of the Galaxy’ star continued with the joke in 2016 also when he wished his brother for birthday by saying, “Happy Birthday to my original twin brother Paul!” Sharing a black and white selfie of themselves, he wrote, “I have watched you grow into such a wonderful dad and family man. You have made me proud every step of the way,” before adding, “We love you!”
