9 Ways Paul Walker Made Us His True Fans And Won Our Hearts

It was 2001, when the ‘The Fast and the Furious’ movie came out. We instantly fell in love with with the street cars, the adrenaline-rushing action sequences and the characters who had a visible chemistry between them.

And the heartthrob was Paul Walker! He wasn’t Paul Walker for us, he was always Brian O’Conner. I remember the time when I was watching the fifth film of the series in the theatre and the crowd whistled in the nail-biting sequence where he pulls some unbelievable moves and left our jaws hanging low.

He did not win our hearts just by driving fast. He had solid reasons to demand it.

1. The smile that assures you everything is going to be all right.

His smile at the end is the reason I saw the movies.

 

2. He was not just a movie star but a guy who genuinely cared.

His charity ‘Reach Out Worldwide’ is still running on the fuel he injected in them. Hollywood appreciates his efforts for humanity and considers him as an inspiration.

 

3. By being someone who knew his priorities well.

He once said, “You know, all that really matters is that the people you love are happy and healthy. Everything else is just sprinkles on the sundae.”

 

4. By being a loving father!

He proudly said in an interview, “I’m into being a dad, that’s where my focus is most of the time. I’m an actor, that’s my job, but it’s not my life. I have a lot of other interests too.” His daughter is 16 now.

 

5. He was not just an actor but also a fighter in true nature.

He had a brown belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu under Ricardo “Franjinha” Miller at Paragon Jiu-Jitsu.

 

6. He had a beautiful soul. In 2011, after the 8.8 magnitude earthquake shook Chile, he went there to help people and contributed in many ways.

I wish we had more people like him in this world.

 

7. His love for dogs! He lived in Santa Barbara with his dogs and loved them dearly.

Probably that’s what made him such a loyal friend.

 

8. By being the racer off-screen as he was onscreen.

As a part of the AE perform team he finished Redline Time Attack racing series driving an M3 E92.

 

9. By leaving behind a legacy.

His anecdotes, stories, and quotes will never end. There will always be space in our hearts for this phenomenal person.

Wherever you are Paul, we hope you are happy and smiling.

You are being missed terribly here.
