At this point, Dom is part of your DNA. He's a part of you.How has this character and this franchise changed the trajectory of your career?
I might not have anticipated the family component that I would be rewarded with by dedicating two decades to this mythology. That is a reward that is indescribable.

How did it raise the stakes for you, now mirroring what you went through when you became a daddy for the first time?
That's 100 percent right. I love the idea that our mythology doesn't shy away from that, and I love the idea that our mythology allows the characters to evolve onscreen. You've got people that went 20 years ago to see the firstthat are bringing their children to chapter nine. And that is amazing. That's what family is. So, I feel just grateful. It has very much mirrored my life. There are lines that my son in the movie says that come directly from my kids.

And to be a 100 percent honest, I'm not sure that I would've thought it was a good idea, because that's a moment when Dom is in a very emotional and vulnerable and reflective moment.
