Vin Diesel has said he would d*e for Meadow Walker, the daughter of his late Fast & Furious co-star Paul Walker, describing her as the first person who calls him every Father’s Day and never misses one of his children’s birthdays.
Diesel made the remarks to Entertainment Tonight on August 17, 2026, at an event in Los Angeles marking the 25th anniversary of the original Fast and the Furious film, where Meadow Walker, now 27, attended alongside castmates Michelle Rodriguez and Jordana Brewster. “She’s the first one to ever call me on Father’s Day. She’s the first one to show up to all the kids’ birthdays,” Diesel said, adding, “She’s just such a blessing and I’m so grateful to have her in my family’s life.” He called her “a true cousin to my angels” before saying, “I would d*e for her.”
Paul Walker d*ed in a car crash in Santa Clarita, California, in November 2013 at age 40, when Meadow was 15. Diesel, who is her godfather, has remained a fixture in her life since, walking her down the aisle in 2021 when she married actor Louis Thornton-Allan at a beachside ceremony in the Dominican Republic. Diesel is also a father of three, Hania, 18, Vincent, 16, and Pauline, 11, with longtime partner Paloma Jimenez, and has said Meadow treats his children like family. “Because I don’t know if I could have come to the red carpet,” he told Entertainment Tonight of having her by his side at the anniversary screening.
Meadow has continued to honor her father’s legacy as well, appearing in a cameo in 2023’s Fast X and walking its premiere red carpet. More than a decade after Paul Walker’s d*ath, the bond between his daughter and his closest friend and co-star remains an enduring thread connecting the Fast & Furious family off screen.
