Vin Diesel pays tearful tribute to Paul Walker at Cannes Fast & Furious screening
"“It's so hard for me to watch it because there's so many moments in this movie that you see, that I see differently,” Diesel told the audience inside the Grand Lumière theatre, according to Variety."
"“The scene that you see, I see the moment Pablo told me he had a one-year-old daughter.” Diesel has long referred to Walker by the nickname “Pablo”."
"Diesel paused several times during his speech to compose himself as he spoke about Walker and Walker's daughter, Meadow Walker, who attended the screening alongside franchise stars Michelle Rodriguez and Jordana Brewster. Meadow Walker also appeared briefly in Fast X, the franchise's most recent instalment."
"“This is a film where brotherhood was introduced to our millennium, by myself and my brother Pablo,” Diesel told the audience. “And the person that was not going to let me come alone here to represent that brotherhood is Meadow"
Vin Diesel spoke at a Cannes midnight screening of The Fast and the Furious to honor Paul Walker. He said watching the film was “so hard” because many moments carried personal memories tied to Walker. Diesel paused and fought back tears while reflecting on his relationship with Walker, who died in 2013. He described seeing scenes differently, including a moment when Walker told him he had a one-year-old daughter. Diesel referred to Walker as “Pablo” and connected the franchise’s theme of brotherhood to both Walker and himself. Meadow Walker attended the screening, and Diesel acknowledged her presence as representing that brotherhood.
