00:00Two minutes, really?

00:08How can I talk only two minutes about this angel gal?

00:16Or where would I start?

00:18Or how deep would I go?

00:24You're going to hear...

00:25How do I look, guys?

00:26Honestly.

00:27You're going to...

00:32Happy birthday, Anon.

00:34You're going to hear a lot about this incredible actress, her accomplishments.

00:44What I'm going to talk about is my family member, Gal Gadot.

00:55I'm going to...

01:00I've been on this street before, but I've never had somebody remind me of this special

01:12moment that Gal reminded me of when she asked me to present.

01:18I said there could be no way in the world that I wouldn't be here.

01:24Because out of all of my accomplishments, one of my best moments in my life was taking

01:33a chance on an unknown actress who had strength and empathy so beautifully wound together

01:45that when the whole town was saying, you're going to do fast-four?

01:49You're crazy.

01:51I had the confidence because, well, do you want to know how this all happened?

02:00Anybody?

02:01Do I have a second?

02:04So I'm playing World of Warcraft in my office, and I've got eight actresses there that I'm

02:10supposed to make a decision.

02:11Vin, you've got to make a decision.

02:14Paloma, my wife, comes into the office, and I say, I'm liking this person.

02:21Nobody's ever heard of her, but she evokes this magic that, again, is this beautiful

02:29dance of strength and empathy that we as creatives look for in a star.

02:40And I said, the studio's killing me.

02:42I need to pick a Giselle by tonight.

02:45And Paloma said, that's your Giselle.

02:49And looked at Gal, and next thing you know, she was flying to LA, and we screen-tested,

02:55and the rest was history.

03:03The reward for me was, after the movie came out, she became friends with my mother, because

03:23my mother said, the best thing about the movie was your chemistry with Gal Gadot.

03:31And that was the beginning of the whole future of Fast and Furious.

03:36And then, jump cut to the next movie, Fast Five, Euron's in my trailer every day, and

03:43we're talking, watching me, but we're talking about life.

03:48And because Gal was there when my daughter was born, and she was a part of me becoming

03:53a father, she was also a part of my son being born.

04:00And was just Auntie Gal to my kids.

04:07We're very about family.

04:09Everyone makes it a meme, but it's very real.

04:11We're very about family.

04:12So my only dream was for Euron and Gal to start a family of their own.

04:21And that's really the thing I'm most excited about, and I mean, of course, after Pablo,

04:33after Paul left, Gal was the first one at my house to wipe my tears.

04:38I just love her so much.

04:40Thank you, guys.
