Vin Diesel Gives Touching Tribute to Paul Walker at Teen Choice Awards
Vin Diesel couldn't hold back the emotions at the 2015 Teen Choice Awards on Sunday night as he and other "Furious 7" cast members accepted the award for Choice Movie: Action/Adventure.
"I can't stand here and be rewarded like this without talking about someone very, very important to us," Diesel said. "One of the best blessings in our lives is that we have the opportunity to call Pablo a brother. Paul Walker is here with us in spirit."
Walker died in a 2013 car crash. His family was in the audience at the Los Angeles show.
"It's Paul Walker's family, his brother, his parents, that kept us encouraged when we were filming 'Furious 7',"said Diesel, who was joined onstage by Jordana Brewster, Michelle Rodriguez and Ludacris. "But there's one very, very special teen here and her name is Meadow Walker."
Meadow is Walker's daughter; Diesel is her godfather.
In a final gesture, Ludacris announced that fans had chosen Walker for the award for Choice Movie Actor Action/Adventure.
