London April 04: Action star Vin Diesel ignored his `Fast & Furious` co-star Paul Walker`s advice about avoiding the delivery room when his girlfriend went into labour.
The actor terms the experience of witnessing his child`s birth as "priceless".
Diesel`s model girlfriend Paloma Jimenez gave birth to a daughter one year ago, and the star was around to assist in the delivery process.
The actor revealed he only stepped into the delivery room after choosing to defy Walker`s tips and he`s overjoyed he did, Contactmusic reported.
"I didn`t tell anybody (about the birth). I didn`t want cameras around us I wanted it to be as natural as possible. The only person I told was Paul Walker. And I said to Paul, `Should I be in the delivery room?` and he says, `You know, don`t do it, you can`t stomach it.`, said Diesel.
"(But) it`s the best thing you`ll ever do in your life and, with that confidence, I marched into the delivery room. I was more present than I could`ve ever dreamed of (being) but the bonding that it allowed with my daughter is priceless," Diesel said.
