Hollywood blockbusters love mangling up the bodywork of high-end cars in the name of action movies, but according to new research, there is one big name actor who is responsible for damaging more vehicles than most.
According to the data collated by Scrap Car Comparison, that man is Vin Diesel, which will probably come as no surprise to those who have watched the Fast and Furious franchise.
Diesel, or Dominic Toretto, to give him his screen name, has trashed an impressive 61 cars during his Hollywood career, with 30 of those actually smashed up in just one movie - Fast and Furious Five.
Surprisingly, Vin is only one car ahead of his nearest smash-up challenger, with Bruce Willis currently on 60 vehicles written-off, most of which will have been accounted for during his time as John McClane in the Die Hard franchise. Arnold Schwarznegger completes the podium, with 52 vehicle wrecks.
“We can already find out which actors swear the most, or how high their kill count is but of course we have a big interest in cars, so we thought it would be amazing to see how many cars have been destroyed on the big screen, and better yet – who’s responsible for wrecking the most cars!” said Dan Gick of Scrap Car Comparison. “It was gripping to see which films were up there, and just how many cars have been totalled. But, if one thing is for sure, it is that the likes of Vin Diesel, Bruce Willis and Arnold Schwarzenegger should be regular customers of Scrap Car Comparison.”
