Dwayne Johnson remembers Paul Walker

Last month, Fast and Furious actor Dwayne Johnson wrote an emotional post for deceased costar Paul Walker marking his birth anniversary which was on September 12. On his Instagram account, he wrote, "I never post about my friend. It’s a personal thing, but I prefer to keep our memories and bond private and quiet. But something about today compelled me as a moving reminder of how fragile life is for all of us. It’s Paul’s birthday and rightfully so, his legacy celebrated around the world. Our friendship was bonded over our daughters, Meadow & Simone and the pride and protection we took being their fathers”.

He even shared a picture of himself standing next to his late co-star. He then wrote, "And recently, I got a scare when I almost lost another friend on the road. All this stuff got me thinking about how beautiful, yet wildly unpredictable life is. We never know what’s around the corner, so we gotta live as greatly as we can in the honour of our loved ones and ancestors who are no longer with us. Manuia le aso fanau, my friend.”
