Hollywood actor Vin Diesel became emotional while speaking about the late actor Paul Walker’s daughter, Meadow, during the 25th anniversary celebration of The Fast and the Furious in Los Angeles.
Speaking with ET’s Kevin Frazier on the red carpet, Diesel struggled to hold back tears as he reflected on his enduring relationship with Meadow and the legacy of her late father.
Paul Walker, who played Brian O’Conner alongside Diesel’s Dominic Toretto in the Fast & Furious franchise, died in a car crash in November 2013 at the age of 40. His death deeply affected the franchise and its cast, particularly Diesel, who has repeatedly spoken about the close friendship they shared.
Walker’s daughter, Meadow, has also maintained a connection with the franchise and its extended family over the years.
The emotional moment came as the cast and fans gathered in Los Angeles to mark 25 years since The Fast and the Furious first premiered, launching one of Hollywood’s most successful action franchises.
For Diesel, the anniversary was more than a celebration of the films. It was also a reminder of the people whose lives and memories have become deeply connected to the franchise.
Walker’s presence continues to loom large over the Fast & Furious series, with his character Brian O’Conner remaining one of its most beloved figures. Diesel’s emotional reaction highlighted how strongly Walker’s memory remains connected to the films and the close bond shared by the cast.
