Dubai: The start of filming for Fast & Furious 7 is approaching — fast.

After Fast & Furious 7 star Vin Diesel on Tuesday posted a picture on his Facebook page saying he was due to fly to Dubai, comes a message from his F&F colleague Tyrese Gibson.

“Chocolate ain’t never hurt nobody...... #UAE here I come!!!” tweeted the actor, with a link to an Instagram picture of himself in topless, thoughtful mode.

Gibson spent much of December 2013 in Dubai, hanging out with r’n’b singer Maxwell and actor Will Smith.

Gibson confirm in an interview with tabloid! that the seventh installment of the car movie franchise would go ahead with planned filming in the UAE despite the November 2013 death of its star Paul Walker.

“At this point, it’s all about being inspired by Paul,” he said at the time. “I mean, he started the franchise, literally, one of my best friends ever, man.”
