Judi Dench can’t say no to a big bouquet of flowers, especially if they’re kayak-sized and come from Vin Diesel.

“He came to see me at the Haymarket Theatre to ask if I’d be in ‘The Chronicles of Riddick,’” Dench wrote in her new memoir, “Is It Too Late to Make a Run for It?” “Before he arrived, he sent me such a massive bunch of flowers. They couldn’t get them up the stairs to my dressing room, so they had to leave them at the stage door. They were easily the length of a kayak. And as wide.”
