Could you please clarify the intended question, as there seems to be a slight misspelling in the reference? Assuming you meant "Riddick" as a reference to the film series "Riddick" or perhaps a misspelled version of "Riddick: Dark Fury" (a direct-to-video sequel to "Pitch Black"), let me address the question as best I can. Now, to the query: "How old was Vin Diesel in Riddick?" Firstly, it's important to note that Vin Diesel portrayed the character of Richard B. Riddick, often simply referred to as Riddick, in the science fiction film series that began with "Pitch Black" (2000), continued with "The Chronicles of Riddick" (2004), and includes the standalone film "Riddick: Dark Fury" (2004), although the latter was a direct-to-video release. To answer your question, we need to focus on the specific film within the series you're referring to. However, as a general approach, let's consider the year of release and Vin Diesel's age at that time: - If we take "Pitch Black" as the original film in the series, it was released in 2000. Vin Diesel was born in 1967, so he would have been approximately 33 years old when filming "Pitch Black." - For "The Chronicles of Riddick," released in 2004, Vin Diesel would have been around 37 years old. - "Riddick: Dark Fury," being a direct-to-video sequel, may not have had the same level of publicity surrounding Vin Diesel's age at the time of production, but given its close release to "The Chronicles of Riddick," his age would be similar to that mentioned above. Therefore, the exact age of Vin Diesel in "Riddick" depends on which film within the series you're referring to. If you have a specific film in mind, adjusting the year of release with Vin Diesel's birth year (1967) will give you an accurate answer.
