Vin Diesel's Auditions As Other Famous Movie Trees
Vin Diesel did some interesting things to breathe life into the extraterrestrial tree-like creature Groot in Guardians of the Galaxy. The actor really went the extra mile to voice the character, recording countless takes of Groot’s extremely limited dialogue in several different languages. He even did some recordings while wearing stilts in order to “feel what it felt like to be a seven and a half foot tree.” But did you know he’s been preparing his whole career to take on this role? Screen Junkies has uncovered many of the “auditions” Diesel did for other famous trees before finally landing the role of Groot.
