Vin Diesel joins Sharon Riley and the Faith Chorale in Toronto to sing “Oh Happy Day.”
Vin Diesel is one of the Hollywood's toughest top action stars. However, people were able to see his soft side in the 2005 movie, The Pacifier, in which he had to babysit three kids of different ages. Yesterday, downtown Toronto church witnessed yet another side of the movie actor. He sang Oh Happy Day with the 13-member choir group of Sharon Riley and the Faith Chorale.

Of course, it was for his upcoming movie xXx: The Return of Xander Cage, the latest installment in the xXx franchise, and the church was empty except for the choir members and the film crew. However, the video is going viral in social media.
It was a dream-come-true for Diesel. According to him, he always dreamed about having the confidence to sing in a choir. He used to accompany his grandmother to the church every weekend, however, he never had the confidence to get up on to the choir loft and sing with the choir. A feat, that he thought was not possible, Diesel did deliver.
Within a ”circle of love with Sharon Riley and the Faith Chorale,” said Diesel, he sang his heart out. He sang with spirit, at times slamming his hand on the pulpit, showing his gusto. According to Diesel, the choir scene was included in the movie after a dream he had the other day.
