American filmmaker, actress Vin Diesel tried to control his sentiments on camera when he turned back to work for shoot of new ‘Fast and Furious’ version, the actor couldn’t forget his co-star Paul Walker’s car crash death, last November.
The filmmakers of this film had stopped the shoot for a long time after the accidental death of Paul because the team members were so much disturbed but Vin miss his friend so much.
The 47-year-old star said, “I grew up in the bouncing world and we lost people bouncing, but the brotherhood in Paul Walker was something completely different.”
Diesel explained further, “We grew up in the business together and we became famous together and we represented the biggest franchise together and he was my partner and it’s a strange thing… I’ve been acting all my life and they don’t teach you in acting how to mourn someone and simultaneously pretend they’re in a scene with you. It’s one of the darker moments in my journey.”
The actor also shared that Walker’s death made him rethink shooting unsafe action scenes in films.
He explained, “A lot of people don’t realise when you do these action movies you put your life on the line more than you should…When you’re doing these action films and you’re… for lack of a better description, a method-like thespian, and when you go into these action sequences, you put yourself in harm’s way in kind of an unfair fashion.”
