Paul Walker's Daughter Makes Emotional Fast X Debut

Paul Walker's co-stars have been reflecting on the recent cameo appearance of his daughter, Meadow, in the tenth main installment of the Fast & Furious franchise. The film, which premiered on May 19, sees Vin Diesel's character, Dom Toretto, and his team targeted by a new enemy seeking revenge for his father's death. While Walker's final appearance in the series came in Furious 7, the franchise has continued to honor the late actor, and Meadow's small role in Fast X serves as another tribute. In her cameo, Meadow plays a flight attendant who helps John Cena's character, Jakob, escape from his pursuers on a plane.

Diesel revealed in an interview with People that Meadow's appearance meant everything to him, a sentiment echoed by Michelle Rodriguez, who added that Walker's legacy lives on through the films. Jordana Brewster also shared her admiration for Meadow's work, calling it inspiring and emphasizing that she is now a part of the franchise. Walker's co-stars have expressed their support and appreciation for Meadow's role in Fast X, cementing the actor's enduring impact on the series.

Diesel expressed how seeing his co-star, Meadow Walker, wanting to honor her late father and contribute to his life's work "did something to his soul" and "meant everything." For the rest of the cast, maintaining Paul Walker's energy and memory alive within the franchise is of utmost importance. As Rodriguez stated, "as long as we're doing it, we have to maintain that."

Brewster: "To have her be on set and work her butt off was really, really inspiring."

The Significance Of Meadow Walker's Fast X Appearance

Paul Walker was a beloved member of the Fast & Furious franchise, portraying Brian O'Conner in six installments. As one of the series' main protagonists, Brian initially worked undercover for the LAPD before becoming an ally of Dom and falling in love with Mia (Brewster). Although his character was given a happy ending, Walker's passing in 2013 has left a lasting impact on fans. Fast X includes flashbacks of Brian, and the addition of Meadow is particularly significant due to her relationship with the cast of the film.

Many members of the Fast & Furious crew have shown their support for Walker's family over the years. In fact, Diesel was even in attendance at Meadow's wedding in 2021. Cody and Caleb, Walker's brothers, have also remained close with those involved in the franchise. They even stepped in for their late brother to help complete Furious 7. Meadow, who grew up around these films, recently shared a behind-the-scenes glimpse of her character on social media and reflected on the opportunity to honor her father.

The caring sentiments expressed by Walker's former co-stars demonstrate the close bond they share with his family. As Meadow was introduced as someone familiar with Jakob in Fast X, it begs the question of whether her character will make a return in future installments. Fans eagerly anticipating Meadow's appearance in the film can be sure to catch it while it's still in theaters.
