The Fast & Furious star, Vin Diesel has received the prestigious 2,504th star on the Hollywood Walk of fame.

The actor began his career by making his debut with the 1990 drama Awakenings. Since then he has been giving hits in films like XXX, The Pacifier and has been appearing in the Fast & Furious series.

At a ceremony held on Monday in front of the Hollywood Roosevelt hotel on Hollywood Boulevard, the actor expressed how happy he was to be beside many popular and talented stars. "I never thought it would be here in public on a corner, but I guess in some strange way, 30 years ago I made my living by dancing on corners like this with crowds smaller than this," he said, overjoyed.

Now Diesel's star will be a permanent public monument beside a mix of actors, musicians, directors, producers, musical and theatrical groups, fictional characters, and others, who have contributed towards the entertainment industry.
