The actor who played Brian O’Connor in the “Fast & Furious” franchise remains 40 forever. Paul Walker’s only child, 25-year-old Meadow, honored her father on what would have been his 51st birthday by sharing a rare family photo.
Walker was dressed in a black shirt, blue jeans, and sneakers, smiling at his young daughter while holding a paper crown for her. Meadow wore a light shirt with a print and jeans, with her curly hair tied up in a ponytail. The young girl gazed adoringly at her dad. “Happy birthday, my best friend. I love you so much and miss you every day. Thank you for everything. My eternal guardian angel,” Meadow wrote.
A close friend of Vin Diesel, Walker actively supported environmental organizations during his life. In 2015, Meadow established The Paul Walker Foundation. To mark her father’s birthday, she released a t-shirt featuring his photo—Paul is captured smiling widely among numerous fans. Another image shows Meadow posing with Jordana Brewster, Walker’s last partner.
“We are thrilled to present this exclusive limited edition t-shirt with a classic image of my father, kindly provided by Universal. This unique design pays tribute to my father’s adventurous spirit and love for life. By purchasing this shirt, you not only honor my father’s legacy but also support the Paul Walker Foundation’s scholarship, expanding opportunities for young minds dedicated to ocean conservation and environmental protection,” Meadow shared.
The actress was born from Walker’s relationship with Rebecca Soteros on November 4, 1998. She lived with her mother in Hawaii, regularly visiting her father. In 2001, Meadow moved to Los Angeles to live with her father at the age of 13. She has a warm relationship with Vin Diesel, who is her godfather.
The successful model also stays connected with another of her father’s friends, Ludacris (Christopher Bridges). On Wednesday, she wished the actor and rapper a happy birthday by sharing a photo with Diesel and Bridges. “Happy birthday, Ludacris. Family forever, love you,” she wrote.
Paul Walker died in a car crash on November 30, 2013, while returning from a charity event for “Reach Out Worldwide” to aid Typhoon Haiyan victims. The driver of the red Porsche Carrera GT was Walker’s close friend Roger Rodas. The car lost control at high speed, crashed into a pole and a tree, and caught fire. Both men died at the scene.
