Vin Diesel pays tribute to his late friend and co-star Paul Walker on his death anniversary. They starred together in the Fast & Furious franchise where they formed an undeniable bond. Diesel took to Instagram to remember Walker’s untimely death.
Walker tragically passed away in a car crash on November 30, 2013, at only 40 years old. His death occurred while on a break from filming for Furious 7. Furious 7 ended as a tribute to Walker. Diesel’s post was a photo of the two with a touching message about “eternal brotherhood.”
Walker’s death not only affected the fans of the movies but the Fast & Furious cast as well. The cast had known and grown together for the length of seven movies. Walker played the main character, Brian O’Conner, who was one of the fundamental factors in making the franchise the success it was. However, Walker himself was also a person who was important to Diesel. Someone who he thought of as his “brother.”
Diesel’s tribute to Walker emphasizes the movie’s message of the importance of family and how these beliefs go beyond just the movie. Diesel hopes to keep Walker’s memory alive for years to come.
