The Fast and Furious actor was joined co-stars Michelle Rodriguez, Jordana Brewster and Ludacris onstage as they accepted their award for Choice Movie: Action/Adventure.
Vin couldn’t help but honour their late “brother.”
“I can’t stand here and be rewarded like this without talking about someone very, very important to us,” the actor shared with the audience. “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.”
Vin Diesel loved his late “brother”, Paul Walker.
He continued, “This was a very special movie for us to make. We make these movies with our hearts. We really are a family….We are a true, true, true family. My kids refer to Luda as ‘Uncle Luda!'”
But Vin wanted to focus on Paul’s family.
“Since this is a Teen Choice Award, there is one teen in the audience that is a part of the family that kept us going. It’s Paul Walker’s family—his brother, his parents—that kept us encouraged when we were filming Furious 7,” he shared. “But there’s one very, very special teen here and her name is Meadow Walker.”

“We miss you and we will always, always love you, Paul,” Paul’s on-screen love Jordana piped in.
Paul also received a posthumous Teen Choice Award for Choice Movie Actor: Action.
The Fast and Furious family are incredibly close, with Vin being Meadow’s godfather and the him naming his newborn Pauline in honour of his late friend, who lost his life after a car accident in November 2013.
Vin cares deeply for Paul’s daughter, Meadow and is her godfather.
