Someone is apparently team Winklevoss. Forget the entire story of "The Social Network," actor Vin Diesel is claiming that he's the reason behind the worldwide success of the social networking site Facebook, telling the site’s creator, Mark Zuckerberg, to pay up. “Fast & Furious 6” star Vin Diesel, 45, joked in an interview on Friday that he believes he's the reason for Facebook’s success, telling Entertainment Weekly that the company owes him for bringing the site to the attention of his 40 million fans. “Facebook used to ask me to come up to their office to explain what the f—k I was doin and why I had so many fans … Facebook really owes me billions of dollars. But whatever,”Diesel said. The actor claims that his refusal to allow others to speak on behalf of him on the site is what caused him to become the first public figure to gain one million followers in 2009, when the only other public figure with the same number of fans on Facebook was U.S. President Barack Obama. “What was unique was: I never let anyone do a post, I never let anyone post for me in the last four years,” Diesel said. “I became the No. 1 page in the world. Over Coca-Cola, over huge companies and it was only because I said: ‘Hi, guys, I love you.’”
