Paul Walker’s Father Reflects on His Death (Exclusive)

Paul Walker’s father, Paul Walker Sr., spoke with ET in November 2014, around one year after his son’s untimely death. Walker shared why he believed the ‘Fast and Furious’ star was so beloved by many around the world. Paul and his friend, Roger Rodas, were riding in a Porsche Carrera GT when it crashed and exploded in Santa Clarita, California, on Nov. 30, 2013. Both men were pronounced dead at the scene. The elder Walker also opened up about the special prayer that Paul’s friend and co-star Tyrese gave following his death.

The original video on Sky News the unedited version I believe it was skynews one up on his lawn during a sunny day started talking with Paul Walker's father Paul Walker's father answered back and said my son wanted out... quickly I think they made a small exchange for quietness for fame... where is the unedited NewsChannel report when they went there on video on his dad's house asking them about Paul Walker's death and his dad replied my son wanted out question is what did your son want out of... and Paul Walker was getting ready to come forth with Hollywood stuff... there was also something to do with Obama operation Fast and Furious and something to do with Charity money

[@jimsmith8797]

Heartbreaking. I’m glad his father never missed a chance to tell him he loved him.

[@justylex]

He got the blonde from his mom, but he actually looked a lot like Paul Sr. When you watch his dad speak, you can see that they shared a lot of the same mannerisms and facial expressions.

Paul’s daughter getting married without him makes me so sad. He became an actor for the sole purpose of supporting Meadow when co-parenting.

[@aprilgauthier9971]

Vin walking her down the aisle.. I love that because Vin has always been like her uncle and she’s always had a strong relationship with Vin, Jordana and some other cast members. They’ve always been close and because of that, I’m happy and know Paul visits them because that’s what most spirits do. I’m so grateful that both meadow, vin and jordana and whoever else have a strong relationship together.
