Vin Diesel will be reprising his role in "Fast and Furious 7." However, new reports claim that the actor has had a few difficult moments on set following Paul Walker's death.

In an interview with IBNLive, Diesel shared that he's not that eager to take on dangerous action stunts in movies.

"A lot of people don't realise when you do these action movies you put your life on the line more than you should...When you're doing these action films and you're... for lack of a better description, a method-like thespian, and when you go into these action sequences, you put yourself in harm's way in kind of an unfair fashion," he said.

Apart from rethinking his dangerous career, the Diesel also dished on life on the set of "Fast and Furious 7" without his friend Paul Walker.

"I grew up in the bouncing world and we lost people bouncing, but the brotherhood in Paul Walker was something completely different," he shared.

"We grew up in the business together and we became famous together and we represented the biggest franchise together and he was my partner and it's a strange thing... I've been acting all my life and they don't teach you in acting how to mourn someone and simultaneously pretend they're in a scene with you. It's one of the darker moments in my journey."

The action-packed flick will see the return of Diesel along with other favorites Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, Michelle Rodriguez, Jordana Brewster, Tyrese Gibson and Ludacris.

UFC Women's champ Ronda Rousey and Ong Bak star Tony Jaa will also join the cast along with the film's new villain Jason Statham.

"Fast and Furious 7" is slated for an April 3, 2015 release.
