Then & Now: 15 Photos Of The Cast Of Fast And Furious

When The Fast and The Furious first came out back in 2001 it captured the hearts and minds of millions around the globe. It was probably a mixture of all that adrenaline and the good looking star studded cast that did it. Nobody anticipated just how big the franchise would become. The sage is now the largest franchiser of Universal of all time! They didn’t just stop at movies they created video games, characters, soundtracks and even car toys. Who would have thought we would become so addicted to watching and learning more about the culture of illegal street racing. On February 2, 2016 the world cheered again, rejoicing when they had learned that Vin Diesel had signed for an eighth instalment. He renewed his contract and confirmed the franchise will end with 10 films. The ninth film is currently scheduled to be released in April 2019, so not long to wait now! Who’s excited? If, like me, you’re a huge fan of The Fast and The Furious saga, be sure to let us know in the comments section on Facebook, we would love to know how many of you are still out there. I’m a die hard fan since the beginning. Let’s take a look at the cast and what they look like now! Enjoy.

15. Tyrese Gibson

Tyrese Gibson is one of those awfully lucky men in life that just doesn’t seem to age, he looks exactly the same today as he did all those years ago. Tyrese has so many strings to his bow we started to lose count. He’s a performer, singer, rapper, ex-model, and actor. When he got bored of music he went on to have a go at conquering the world of Hollywood. Hats off to him, he did it! He didn’t have the easiest childhood growing up, his mother raised both him and his three older siblings after their father abandoned them in 1983. Tyrese would have been just 5 years old. His successful career started back when he was just a mere 14 years old. He started out with just a few small wins such as appearing in a Coca-Cola advert and winning a talent contest. I guess when people really started to recognize him was at the age of 17 when he began modelling for Tommy Hilfiger. When appeared on the music scene nobody expected much but his debut album went platinum and his second album, 2000 Watts, share the name of the foundation he started to help youngsters. Despite his huge fame, he remains modest and does what he can to help the community and make the world a better place.

14. Chad Lindberg

Chad Lindberg is most popularly known for his roles in The Fast and The Furious, Sky of October, and TV series such Sons of Anarchy. He was born in Mount Vernon, Washington and his acting career began in the year of 1977. From there he made a number of appearances on popular shows such as ER and Buffy The Vampire Slayer. I love watching Chad in films, I don’t know what it is about him but I feel like if I was to meet him at a bar me and him would be great friends. He is not the best looking of chaps but there is something about his personality and style of acting that has me hooked. Considering how long it has been since the first Fast and Furiousfilm graced our screens we would also say that Chad has aged incredibly well. Maybe it’s something this particular cast have been eating? They barely look any older and it’s been over 15 years. Can you believe that? It makes me feel old. I certainly look very different than I did 15 years ago.
