Vin Diesel crashes German wedding to the delight of bride and groom: 'Simply a fever dream'
You don't turn your back on family — even someone else's.
A German couple's wedding photo shoot went from fairy tale to "fever dream" over the weekend.
German actor and influencer Matthias H?hn married his girlfriend Lejla at a ceremony held in Munich on Saturday. The couple were taking photos outside when none other than Mr. Family himself, Vin Diesel, paid them a surprise visit.
According to a recent Instagram post, Diesel is currently in Europe training for the next chapter in the Riddick saga. He happened to be traveling through the exact part of Munich where the couple planned their big day, at the exact time they stepped out for some photos. Apparently, he couldn't resist crashing the shoot.

A TikTok posted by Matthias that's racked up more than 4 million views shows photos of the couple twirling in an embrace and posing in a convertible before Diesel, in his uniform of gym shorts and a sleeveless tank, hops out of his car to shake their hands. He makes a heart gesture with his hands (likely some language barrier finessing) before posing for a photo with the happy couple.
Matthias wrote in the caption, "Er kam einfach auf uns zu," or, "He just came up to us." On Instagram, Lejla reposted the video with the caption "einfach Fiebertraum," or "Simply a fever dream."
Commenters on the original TikTok joked that "Vin Diesel came to a random wedding because Family comes first," and noted Lejla's enraptured gaze toward Diesel in the photo of the three. "Sie guckt vin Diesel verliebter an als Matze," one commenter wrote, or "She looks more in love with Diesel than Matze."

Matthias H?hn is best known in Germany for his role as Pascal Reuter on the soap opera Berlin — Tag & Nacht (Berlin — Day & Night).
In an interview with the German news site Bild on Wednesday, Lejla shared more about the experience: "Suddenly a limousine stopped and a security guard got out. He came up to us and said in English: 'I have someone who would like to congratulate you on your wedding.'"

He told the couple he was on the way to a shoot but "had to" stop to congratulate them. "He was in a very good mood," Lejla recalled. "A very likeable person, so friendly and accommodating."
She further described the experience as "amazing," saying, "We couldn't believe it at that moment because it happened so suddenly while we were taking photos. But of course we were more than happy, what a fate it is that he turned up exactly where we were on our wedding day."
The Fast & Furious star, who was accused of sexual battery in a lawsuit by a former assistant last year, is set to return to the franchise in 2025 with the sequel to 2023's Fast X. He's even hinted that the Fast X duology may ultimately become a trilogy. Earlier this year, Diesel denied all the claims made in the lawsuit.
Meanwhile, the director of Fast X, Louis Leterrier, has confirmed he will be returning for at least the sequel.
