It was filmed sometime in the 1980s (and it shows). It was uploaded to YouTube back in 2006. But for whatever reason, it's hit the big time on the Internet today.
It's hard to say what's weirder: seeing Vin Diesel breakdance, or seeing Vin Diesel with hair. And wearing a track suit. This young. With this being dated as having been filmed in the '80s, Diesel (trivia alert: his real name is Mark Sinclair) was a teenager or maybe in his early 20s when he busted these moves.
According to an interview with Diesel on Live With Kelly & Michael, he grew up dancing around New York City, in places like Columbus Circle and Washington Square Park. We don't know the exact story behind this video, but we believe it was his first paid job as a dancer — well before he became an actor on the big screen.
If you're not sitting, sit now. You can't possibly hope to ever break out moves like these. Just bask in the glory:
I think we can all agree that the best part comes at the end, when he does "the worm" through his partner's legs. That is some quality work right there.
Right about now, someone out there is looking for a recent hit song to mash this up with.
