Dame Judi Dench revealed in her upcoming memoir, "Is It Too Late to Make a Run for It?", that actor Vin Diesel once sent her an enormous floral arrangement to convince her to appear in the film "The Chronicles of Riddick."

According to the veteran performer, the massive bouquet stretched the length of a kayak and was delivered while she was performing at the Haymarket Theatre. Dench admitted in the book that she is easily persuaded by such grand gestures.

Further information regarding the production and the book's release is expected to emerge as the story develops.
