The Worst Idea Of All Time

07: Christchurch Boys w Vinnie Bennett

Vinnie Bennett (F9's young Dom Toretto) joins the fellaz to swap stories about Ōtautahi Christchurch and his experience meeting Vin Diesel precisely one time only during shooting Fast & Furious 9, despite playing the younger version of the film's star and Producer. He also gets into what it's like to get on the beers with your British co-star (portraying a young John Cena) immediately before shooting a scene and lifts the lid on some appalling Hollywood practices around getting contracts signed.
