So, when I had started my page, the only person that had a million fans was Barack Obama. Because it was first-quarter 2009, and he’d just got elected as President, because of social media. So, when I started talking to the fans, I became the No. 1 page in the world. Over Coca-Cola, over huge companies. And it was only because I said: “Hi, guys, I love you.”
It was THAT easy? GOSH Why didn’t I think of THAT! OH WAIT! I’ve said that tons of times.. lol.
Facebook used to ask me to come up to their office to explain what the f*** I was doing, and why I had so many fans. What was unique was: I never let anyone do a post, I never let anyone post for me in the last four years. My audience knows me so well on the page that if my producing partner’s in the room when I post, they’ll know somebody was around me. That’s kind of cool, that’s how sophisticated they are. Facebook really owes me billions of dollars. But whatever.
The star left out the fact that he has 5 other “Fast and the Furious” episode under his big fat wallet belt..
When I jumped on that page in April 2009, I started talking to people. In the realest ways. Imagine if you could’ve been a Facebook friend to Marlon Brando, or whoever your role models are. Imagine, if you were able to Facebook Elvis, and talk to him, and hear from him without the Hollywood of it all. That was the “Fast & Furious” experience.
Diesel went on to prognosticate that classic films like “Rebel Without A Cause” and “Gone With the Wind” could have had sequels if Marlon Brando and Clark Gable had Facebook pages..
