Vin Diesel Brings Tears At This Furious 7 Screening

If Vin Diesel is crying you know it’s serious. Diesel made a surprise visit to an early screening of Furious 7. The lucky audience was treated to a heartfelt speech from the action star as he went into detail about the importance of the film and what It felt like when Paul Walker passed away..

“This was a very very personal and important film for us,” the actor said. “This was a labor of love. It was in some ways the hardest movie I ever had to do. Because the relationships that you see on film are so real. When the tragedy happened, I lost my best friend. I lost my brother.”

Walker was 40 years old when he unexpectedly passed away. The cherished actor was killed in a car accident back in November 2013. He was still filming Furious 7 when he died, so the creators are making use of the footage they captured before his death. They also resorted to using Walker’s two brothers who share a striking resemblance to the late actor.

The producers of the franchise have confirmed that they won’t be killing Walker’s character off in the new movie, but he will be getting closure. This video really pulls on your heartstrings. It’s very apparent that the cast involved in this franchise truly is a close-knit family.
