Vin Diesel is a "huge fan" of 'Dungeons and Dragons'.
The Hollywood icon appears opposite Rose Leslie in 'The Last Witch Hunter', and the actress has revealed that the 48-year-old star is an unlikely fan of the popular role-playing game.
Asked what it's like working with Vin and fellow co-star Sir Michael Caine, Rose explained: "[Vin] is such a cool guy! He's a huge fan of Dungeons and Dragons, so this movie is completely up his street.
"It wasn't intimidating. I think I was more in awe of Michael Caine, being a British actor and growing up admiring him."
However, Rose's excitement at working alongside the British legend was blunted to some extent, because in the scene she shares with the Oscar-winning star, he's pretending to be asleep.
She said: "I told my mother, 'This is so great. I get to share a scene with Michael Caine.' And then, of course, in this particular scene he is asleep. So there's no dialogue. So my mum still doesn't know that..."
Rose is best known for her starring role in the 'Game of Thrones' series and she admits appearing on the show is a huge honour.
She shared: "I feel fortunate to have been part of it because the fan base is extraordinary and incredibly vast."

Zachary Quinto has a deeper connection with Leonard Nimoy since his death.
The 38-year-old actor - who took over as Spock in the 'Star Trek' franchise from the legendary star in 2013 - has admitted it feels like a piece of him is missing on set now that Nimoy, who died aged 83 in February this year, has passed away but he feels a sense of "responsibility" to "honour" the veteran in his own work.
He said: "It's certainly different now Leonard is not with us any longer. I feel a sense of connection to him which is deeper than when he was alive, and a sense of responsibility to honour him, his legacy and role. Leonard and I were very, very close. He really left the world as peacefully and loved as anyone I have ever known."
Meanwhile, the handsome star - who is currently filming the forthcoming movie 'Star Trek Beyond' - recently admitted he's become a better person since he's known Nimoy and has so many "memories" that will stay with him for the rest of his life.
He explained: "We talked about many things right up to the end. My memories are full of love and gratitude, and I miss him quite a bit. I feel that I'm an infinitely better person for knowing him. His was a really accomplished life and I think he left the world knowing that."

Eddie Redmayne is driven by fear.
The 32-year-old actor is always nervous when he takes on a role but when he was offered the part of transgender Lilli Elbe in Tom Hooper's 'The Danish Girl', he mostly felt "privilege".
He said: "My initial reaction was one of great privilege.
"I feel that whenever I play a part, there's an element of fear. It's what drives you.
"But really the overwhelming thing was privilege and wanting to do her story justice."
As part of his research, Eddie spoke with his 'Jupiter Ascending' director Lana Wachowski who had lived as a man named Larry until 2002.
He said: "I mentioned Lilli and [her partner] Gerda's story - and I think she owns art by Gerda of Lilli. 'Man Into Woman' [an early account of Lilli's transition] was also incredibly important to her."
And the actor learned a lot working on the film.
He said: "There were many things that I was ignorant about. The idea that sexuality and gender are two different things was something I'd been ignorant enough to not really understand."

Daniel Radcliffe finds it "useful" to know people expected him to fail after 'Harry Potter'.
The 26-year-old actor admits one of his biggest motivations stems from wanting to defy critics who expected the young stars of the wizarding franchise to "disappear" once the series was complete.
He said: "Sometimes I think it's useful for me to believe that's what people are thinking.
"It's always been a driving factor, that people assumed we were going to disappear or become f**k-ups. That's always been a motivation. To prove those people wrong."
The 'Victor Frankenstein' actor also admitted he finds watching his own movies back "pointless" because he is so critical of himself.
He admitted: "I stopped watching myself quite recently because it's never great.
"Sometimes I'll be happy, but I'll never be like, 'Oh yeah, that was awesome.'
"I always focus on the stuff that I would rather have done differently and it's a bit pointless after a while."
When he isn't working, Daniel tries his best to hang out with his godchildren because he doesn't want to be a "terrible" godparent.
He admitted: "I've got quite a few godkids so I try to make a point of seeing them, otherwise I feel like a terrible godparent."

Daniel Radcliffe doesn't want to be "an a**ehole".
The 'Victor Frankenstein' star can't understand the pleasure other actors get from being a "d**k" because he doesn't think it can be a nice environment to have to go to work and be hated.
He said: "I just don't want to be an a**ehole. I don't know how else to explain it other than you see people who are a**eholes and you go, 'I don't want to be like that.'
"The actors who are d**ks... I do not know how they enjoy their job. Because if you step on set and the crew hates you, you must feel bad."
And the 26-year-old actor thinks fellow thespians who get their biggest buzz from being cheered are very "sad".
He told Total Film magazine: "I remember talking to somebody who looks after a very big actor. They were telling me these horror stories and I Was like, 'At what point, in all this, does he have fun?' She said, 'Honestly it's the moment he gets out on the red carpet and waves and everyone chants and cheers.'
"I was like, 'That's the saddest f***ing thing I've ever heard.'
"Having to do red carpets gives me anxiety. It's the most unnatural part of acting. The most natural part is being on set."

Channing Tatum is ready for a career break.
The 35-year-old actor thinks he has been working too hard and worries he can't give his best performance if he is constantly going from one movie to the next.
He said: "I've been working a lot in the last few years so it might be time to slow things down a little.
"I love my job but I liken it to a treadmill that you're always on and you don't get to enjoy.
"There was one point where I did four movies back-to-back and you start to question if you gave your all to each of the,
"I don't want to get to that place again. I want to spread it around a little. Just step off the treadmill and breathe, which is something I'm looking towards."
When he is choosing roles, Channing - who has two-year-old daughter Everly with wife Jenna Dewan-Tatum - looks for projects that "excite" him.
He said: "There's no one direction you can go in this industry.
"You can work towards certain goals and projects, but after that it's up to fate.
"It's down to what excites you because that's what life is all about, and about my family - how it affects them."

George Lucas admits his age stopped him from writing and directing more 'Star Wars' films.
The 71-year-old filmmaker explained that it would have taken him another decade to deliver another three films in the series, and so he instead decided to sell his production company, Lucasfilm, to Disney and focus his efforts on other projects.
He explained to US chat show host Charlie Rose: "I'm 70. I don't know whether I'll be here when I'm 80 - every ten years the odds get less - and so I said I'm not ready to do that because I want to do these other things, so I have to make the decision on my own that it's time to move on.
"So it wasn't like they were taken away from me ... and they felt they knew... they wanted to do a retro movie. I don't like that."
George admitted his vision for the 'Star Wars' franchise was different to that of Disney.
He explained: "Every movie, I worked very hard to make them different. I made them completely different with different planets, with different spaceships, make it new."

Dakota Johnson "went into an emotional void" after 'Fifty Shades of Grey'.
The 26-year-old actress - who portrayed Anastasia Steele in the first installment of the raunchy saga - feels like she's been "five different people" since the movie came out earlier this year.
Asked how she decompressed after the film, she said: "I'm trying to think. It came out in February. Where are we now?
"It feels like a lifetime ago. I feel like I've been five different people since then.
"What did I do afterwards? I was working - I kept going. The night I hosted 'Saturday Night Live' was the end of promoting the movie and then... I think I blacked it out. I went into an emotional void."
Though Dakota's mother, Melanie Griffith previously said she didn't want to see 'Fifty Shades', the actress - whose father is actor Don Johnson - hopes she'll see her new movie.
She said: "Sometimes I talk to my parents about work. I keep it separate but I want them to see 'Black Mass'."
Because she is the daughter of two movie stars, Dakota has always enjoyed being on film sets.
She told Total Film magazine: "My childhood I spent outdoors riding horses. It's the most comfortable place for me.
"I grew up travelling. I grew up on sets. I grew up going to new places. And I like it all."

Quentin Tarantino has held talks with Uma Thurman about making 'Kill Bill 3'.
The legendary director - who helmed the two earlier movies in the series - has admitted he's spoken with the Hollywood actress about her reprising the role of The Bride for a third martial arts film.
He said: "I'm not committing to it, but I wouldn't be surprised if The Bride made one more appearance before the whole thing is said and done."
Quentin, 52, admitted he's opened discussions with Uma, 45, about doing another movie, saying he's keen to include some of the unused material he wrote for the earlier films.
He told Variety: "I am talking to Uma about it just a little bit. Some of the stuff that I'd written that never made it into the movie that maybe I could use."
Meanwhile, Quentin claimed recently that he wouldn't be bothered if his latest movie, 'The Hateful Eight' - which has a running time of over three hours - isn't a box office smash.
He explained: "If it's too much for people, if audiences don't accept it, well I guess that's just the way it is. I'm not being cavalier when it comes to my financial partners, but I think I've earned the right to do my thing my way.
"While I really want it to do well and it would be lovely if it's popular, movies are for a long time. I'm really proud of the piece. If it ends up not connecting with audiences, I won't be heartbroken. I'll be a little disappointed, but I won't be heartbroken."
