Vin Diesel honor his late friend and Fast & Furious co-star Paul Walker on what would have been Walker’s 51st birthday. Sharing a heartfelt throwback photo of the two from their time on the Fast & Furious franchise, Diesel reflected on the deep bond they shared, both on and off the screen.

In the touching post, Diesel recalled the moment they realized their “brotherhood” would change Hollywood. He emphasized that their connection, though not by blood, was bound by love, and it represented a “multicultural brotherhood” that resonated with the world.

Diesel also spoke about the emotional weight of Walker’s absence, especially as he prepares for the next installment of the Fast & Furious franchise. He noted, “Brian… yeah, I will have to brace myself for this next film,” referencing the continued presence of Walker’s character in the series and the difficulty of moving forward without his friend.

The tribute included a personal reflection on Diesel’s recent visit to Walker’s family. He highlighted how Walker’s daughter, Meadow, is continuing her father’s legacy by championing environmental causes, particularly ocean conservation, a cause close to Walker’s heart. Diesel fondly remembered a toast Meadow made at a recent birthday dinner, remarking, “You would have been so damn proud.”

Paul Walker, beloved for his role as Brian O’Conner in the Fast & Furious series, tragically passed away in a car accident in 2013. In addition to his iconic film roles, Walker was known for his humanitarian work, particularly through his charity, Reach Out Worldwide, which he founded to aid disaster relief efforts.

Diesel concluded his tribute with a poignant message, “A brotherhood, timeless and bound by love. For that I am eternally grateful… but damn, I miss you Pablo. Happy birthday…” Walker’s impact continues to be felt in the Fast & Furious family and by fans around the world.
