Then Diesel uttered the now-famous line "I am Groot" in the character's signature rumbling voice. The fan appeared amused at first then surprised to see Diesel.
"Oh my god," the fan exclaimed after she exchanged hugs with the actor.
"Who else would bring you the Groot toy?" Diesel asked to which she replied that she does not know.
However, she clearly found the surprise touching as she touched her heart and cheeks in amazement. Diesel then gave the woman the large Groot plushie and the Groot emoji board signed with his autograph.
