Fast & Furious then and now: Vin Diesel, The Rock have changed more than the mo...

A lot has changed since 2001 - even in the Fast and Furious saga. From selling stolen DVD players and tuna sandwiches, the daredevil heroes of the series now pull multimillion dollar heists.

The series began in 2001, with the relatively modest The Fast and the Furious, a film about illegal street racing in Los Angeles. And now, 16 years later, the eighth installment, The Fate of the Furious involved The Rock pushing torpedoes with his bare hands and Vin Diesel racing nuclear submarines - a huge jump from the Mazdas and Toyotas from the first film.

As the film breaks box office records worldwide, let’s take a look at the main cast and how they have changed over the years.
