The actor, who welcomed his third child just days ago, was on hand to speak before a select few got a chance to see the highly anticipated film before it hits theaters on April 3, reported E! News.

"This was, as you know, this was a very, very personal and important film to us," he told the audience while holding back tears.

"Every time when I saw the movie at the premieres, Paul Walker and I would go off to the side and he would always tell me, 'Vin, the best one is still in the can.' Well, I hope tonight you'd let Pablo know that this one is the best one for you guys. If you love the movie, and I hope you do and hope you will, feel free to talk about it."

Diesel added, "This was a labor of love. It was in some ways the hardest movie I ever had to do because the relationships that you see on film are so real. When the tragedy happened I lost my best friend, I lost my brother," the actor said. Walker died in a fiery car crash on November 30 in 2013.
