It has been a big year for rapper Iggy Azalea, and it is about to get bigger! Vin Diesel spilled the beans during an interview with SkyRock FM that the "Fancy" songstress was cast in "Fast and the Furious 7." Are you excited?
"Iggy Azalea and I just worked together two weeks ago," he said while promoting new flick "Guardians of the Galaxy."
"I guess you're the first person to know this, we cast her Fast and Furious 7. She had a cameo in it."
Diesel also praised Azalea's hits "Fancy" and "Problem" when asked which songs he would dance to.
"I'm going to be loyal to Iggy," he said.
Azalea seemed to echo the claims on social media, sharing a snap with Michelle Rodriguez captioned, "#Fun."
The "Problem" singer was also announced as the host for MTV's new series "House of Style." She sure keeps busy!
Diesel, who used to date co-star Rodriguez, recently opened up about how "Guardians" helped him cope with the death of pal Paul Walker.
"It was very personal -- it was the month after the accident happened with my brother Paul Walker and it was the first time I had worked since," he told a fan.
"Although it was challenging, just to get back to work was therapeutic - especially as Groot. There was an innocence about the character that was just refreshing - and it may have been more challenging under other circumstances, but at that time, it was very therapeutic."
Diesel plays Groot in the Marvel flick, the talking monster tree, who can only say, "I am Groot."
"James Gunn and I were having so much fun with it. So it could have been a thousand," he said.
" And it was amazing to go in there and work with someone who wanted to explore the character - we wanted to teach 'I am Groot' to mean something different - It reminded me, as an actor, how much we can do with so little - and if we're passionate about it, good thing can come from it."
He then added, "Chris Pratt is hysterical. He is just refreshingly hysterical."
