“Fast & Furious 9” has celebrated its world premiere. “In the spirit” was also the late Paul Walker, as Vin Diesel explains.
Vin Diesel (53) and the late Paul Walker (1973-2013) raced across the big screen together in the “Fast & Furious” series. However, they were not only fellow actors but also good friends. That’s why Walker was on Diesel’s mind during the world premiere of the latest installment, “Fast & Furious 9”.
Even before the event started on June 18 in Los Angeles, Diesel reported to Instagram and published an old picture of the two, in which a heart and the words “Always” can be seen. The action star said: “On the way to the premiere … you will be there in spirit.” Walker died in 2013 after a car accident.
Paul Walker’s daughter in the next part?
Gathered for the premiere in Los Angeles though not just a lot of the starswho can be seen in the film – including Diesel, Charlize Theron (45) and Tyrese Gibson (42). Walker’s daughter Meadow (22) was also there to honor the memory of her father.
in the Interview with “E! News” explained Diesel also before how deeply he is connected to Walker: “We started this franchise together.” At that time the two had also started a “brotherhood”. “Our brotherhood will survive the franchise,” said Diesel, visibly touched. He also said that Walker’s daughter might be part of the series. Although he didn’t give any details, he said: “I wouldn’t rule anything out.” “Fast & Furious 9” is due to start in German cinemas on July 15th.
