Action film star Vin Diesel stopped by CBS's THE TALK to share how his nearly 90 million fans on Facebook helped to cast villain, Jason Statham in "Furious 7." Says the actor, "During "Fast & Furious 6," I asked who would you like to see me work with and more people said Jason Statham than any other name...So we were very clever to have him do a cameo and he does the cameo at the end...I remember taking the cast out to dinner...and I said 'We're celebrating...just that cameo has guaranteed us the opportunity to tell the seventh chapter.' And so that's how that came."

Later, Vin Diesel opened up about naming his newborn daughter after his late "Fast and Furious" co-star Paul Walker. "Two weeks ago when I was in the delivery room again and I was cutting the umbilical cord, I thought of him and when I thought of him, I couldn't help but to write down the name Pauline. It's a way to keep his memory a part of my world," he explains.

And the actior spilled details about his new film, "Furious 7." "We as a team try to one up the last movie. So they can expect greater stunts, they can expect greater action sequences...They can always expect that humor that lives there that Tyrese and Dwayne , and Luda[cris] are so good at bringing to the table. What they won't expect is the emotional thrust. I think that the world is going to be pleasantly surprised when they see this chapter," he says.
