Don Omar Revs Up For 'Fast & Furious' Sequel

By Michael Lopez

Vin Diesel, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, Don Omar…Yup, you heard right. Once the posters start popping up for next year’s highly anticipated Fast & The Furious sequel (called Fast Five), expect to see El Don, right there on the cast list.

Any fan of the King Of Kings knows that he’s no stranger to The Fast & The Furious franchise. His songs "Los Bandoleros" and "Conteo" were both featured in the third movie, Tokio Drift, and he had a brief role in the fourth film, Fast & Furious. But now, in addition to five soundtrack songs in Fast Five, Omar snagged a major role as part of Vin Diesel’s racing gang.

When talking to Billboard.com, El Don expressed quite a bit of excitement about breaking into the acting game,

"I love it. I prepare every day for it. I pay for my own acting coach. Now I'm also a drag racer, and I got my license as a drag racing driver. I'm really enjoying everything about this."

Interestingly, this film series seems like a perfect representation of El Don’s career right now. Literally blasting out at 100mph, his last record, I-DON, hit #1 on the Latin Album Charts, and his new project, Meet the Orphans, is getting TONS of hype in the reggaeton community.

Even though we may have to wait until June 2011 for Fast Five, Meet The Orphans (featuring that awesome “Danza Kuduro” track) is set to hit shelves November 2. Viva El Don!
