Paul Walker's Memorable Hollywood Moments

Paul accepted a Movieline Young Hollywood Award in LA in April 2001.








                         'For Paul' then appears on the screen.


Paul Walker's Memorable Hollywood Moments
 






 Paul Walker is being remembered in Furious 7 this weekend, and the cast has beensharing sweet, moving quotes about the late actor while promoting the film. We're honoring Paul's memory with a look back at some of his best photos over the years. Paul's career took off after his role in 1999's Varsity Blues, and after that, he starred in films like She's All ThatThe Skulls, and Takers. He became most recognized and beloved for his role as Brian O'Conner in The Fast and the Furious series, and tragically, a car crash claimed Paul's life in November 2013 at the age of 40. After his passing, there was an outpouring of heartfelt messages and sincere condolences from his costars, friends, and famous fans. Remember the life of Paul Walker with a roundup of some of his best moments.    






  

Here's the Fast & Furious 7 Paul Walker tribute ending that's got everyone in tears


James Wan faced a difficult task when taking over the Fast & Furious franchise, how to make a touching tribute to late star Paul Walker but still keep the film fast and/or furious?
He managed both. Of the film's 137-minute runtime, 49 minutes of it are taken up with driving, while its poignant ending has had early viewers in floods of tears.

Avoiding killing Walker's character off (which would have been a bit tasteless) Brian O'Connor instead decides to retire from the fast-cars-and-blowing-things-up game to take care of his family, with his wife pregnant with their second child.

In a scene towards the end, the Furious team sit on a beach and watch Walker play in the sea with his family in the distance, talking about him leaving the group and, in a way, Walker passing. They all look genuinely devastated, which you know is coming from a place of real emotion given they're not exactly the best bunch of actors.

In what appears to be the final scene, Dom (Vin Diesel) leaves town without saying goodbye to Brian, but in a moment created using CGI and old clips, O'Connor (Walker) pulls up to Dom's car and the pair exchange a few final words.
Then follows a tear-jerking montage of Walker's work in the first six Furious films, before O'Connor hits an exit ramp and drives off into the sunset into a bright future, something Walker tragically didn't get to see.
