Paul Walker was one of Hollywood’s biggest stars, catapulted to international fame thanks to his role as Brian O’Conner in the Fast and the Furious franchise.
However, the actor and father-of-one was taken too soon when he died at the age of 40 in December 2013 after a car crash in Valencia, California.
He would have turned 50 years old on September 12, 2023.
Walker was in the passenger seat of a Porsche Carrera GT, driven by a racing team partner, that crashed into a light pole and two trees and burst into flames.
Despite the tragic loss, his legacy carries on not only through his films but also through his model daughter Meadow, 24, who recently made her first cameo in the Fast X films.
The Paul Walker Foundation is also run by Meadow, who encourages people to ‘do good’ and follow in her father’s footsteps.
From a fresh-faced up-and-coming actor to a Hollywood movie star who died too young, take a look at Paul Walker’s life in pictures on the 10th anniversary of his death.
