Vin Diesel was born in New York City and raised in Greenwich Village by his mother Delora Vincent, a psychologist, and stepfather Irving Vincent, a teacher. His biological father was African American and his mother is of Irish, Scottish, and Italian heritage. He has never known his biological father. He has a fraternal twin brother, Paul Vincent, who was born fourteen minutes after him. His brother currently works as a film editor.
In an interview on Late Night with Conan O’Brien, he stated that he changed his name to Vin Diesel while he was working as a bouncer because in that business, one's real name is not generally given out. The name "Vin" is a shortened version of Vincent.
