He said: “They’re pretty sad, pretty sombre. But we are all dealing with it.”
Walker starred in five of the six previously released ‘Fast & Furious’ films and had begun shooting scenes for the seventh film with co-stars Vin Diesel and Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson.
Universal Pictures recently released a video tribute dedicated to Walker, which splices together key moments from the 14 years of the film franchise, showing touching moments between the late actor and his co-stars as they race cars and celebrate victories.
In one section of the video, Walker’s long-time co-star, Diesel, toasts his friends, saying: “The most important thing in life will always be the people in this room, right here, right now,” before the cast, including Walker, clink bottles.
