Hollywood actor Vin Diesel has been honoured with a PhD by Hunters College, 30 years after he dropped out without a degree.

Speaking to the students at the event, the actor says: “While I was in Hollywood I always had this pride of Hunter College.

“I would tell everybody that I learned and took so much away from my experience at Hunter College: I was young, I was a bouncer, when I wasn’t bouncing I was in these classrooms with the most diverse student body on the planet.

“We’re strivers. We can overcome anything. You learn that here and you take into the world. And then you can look at Hollywood and change the face of Hollywood. You can literally change the face of Hollywood because of that dignity and pride and willingness to fight.”

The actor’s presence and words served as an encouragement for the students at the college.
