Voice actors that help bring buzz to animated films are generally dubbed over for international releases, but sentient tree in Guardians of the Galaxy, will be voiced by non other than Vin Diesel in many of the overseas cut.
After all, Diesel only has to say three words, so there’s not a lot of dialogue to re-record. According to director James Gunn, Diesel worked for days in the studio to record the line “I am Groot” thousands of times.
“Vin is somebody who would go in there and he would keep going and going and going, and it would take me a long time, but I would eventually be like, ‘I’m happy with that Vin, OK, we can go to the next,’” Gunn recalled, laughing, “and Vin would be going, ‘One more, one more, one more, one more.’”
