I’m similar to my ‘Guardians…’ character: Vin Diesel

‘Guardians of the Galaxy’, which also features the likes of Zoe Saldana, Bradley Cooper and Chris Pratt, released in UK on August 1.

Actor Vin Diesel says his character in the upcoming space adventure ‘Guardians Of The Galaxy’ is close to his real self.

The 47-year-old star insists the innocence of his alter-ego Groot, a genetically modified tree who tries to save the world, in the new Marvel flick is comparable to his own off-screen persona, reported Contactmusic.

“To maintain your innocence is a feat. So much magic comes from it. Ironically, people probably see more of Groot when I’m posting (on Facebook) than they would in any of the characters I play,” he said.
