FAST & FURIOUS Cast Members Pay Tribute To PAUL WALKER.

Following Saturday’s (30th November. 2013) shocking news of actor Paul Walker‘s tragic fatal accident, his ‘Fast & Furious‘ co-stars and director James Wan took to social media to pay their tributes to the star.
 

Walker’s long-time ‘Fast & Furious‘ co-star Vin Diesel added a photo of the two of them on Instagram with a caption:
 

“Brother I will miss you very much. I am absolutely speechless. Heaven has gained a new Angel. Rest in Peace.”

 

Dwayne Johnson, who starred in ‘Fast and Furious 6‘ wrote on Twitter:
 

All my strength, love & faith to the Walker family during this heartbreaking time. We find our strength.. in his light. Love you brother.

Walker can be seen in the movie ‘Hours‘, which due for release on the 13th December, 2013 and is set around the dramatic events of Hurricane Katrina. He can also be seen in another forthcoming movie called ‘Brick Mansions‘ – a remake of the French action flick ‘District B13‘.

 

Only last weekend (23rd November, 2013), Walker posted an photo from the set of ‘Fast & Furious 7‘ with fellow co-stars Michelle Rodriguez, Nathalie Emmanuel, Vin Diesel, Ludacris, and director Wan promoting the Reach Out Worldwide charity to raise money for typhoon victims in the Philippines. It is said that the charity held a fast car event and Walker decided take one for a test drive – with him in the passenger seat.

 

 
Whatever the circumstances, this is indeed a tragic accident that has taken the life of yet another young actor, who leaves behind a 15 year-old daughter. The facts are that he was not behind the wheel, and it could have happened to anyone in that situation. Yes, people should respect fast motors, and it’s a stroke of luck that no other pedestrians were involved. However, those who have lost a close friend or family member will relate to the above comments, so my thoughts go out to his daughter and his friends.

 

Paul Walker – RIP!
