When questioned about his personal life during an interview in 2006, Diesel simply ignored the question and said, “I’m not gonna put it out there on a magazine cover like some other actors. I come from the Harrison Ford, Marlon Brando, Robert De Niro, Al Pacino code of silence. I’m not gonna do that.”
The next incident when his sexuality was once again made the center of attention amongst the fans was in 2019, Slate culture writer Jeffrey Bloomer wrote a column titled, “The Fast and Furious Movies Have Always Been Gay.” Diesel's remark about dating abroad, Bloomer claims, was "a possibly unintended dog whistle to every gay boy whose middle school girlfriend went to a different school."
