- 8 years ago
Vin Diesel paid an emotional tribute to his late, long-time friend Paul Walker Wednesday night while accepting a pair of People’s Choice awards for “Furious 7.”
“As I was coming over here, I always do this, I say I’m not going to get emotional about winning these awards,” he said.
“I was cool while I was sitting in my seat, and then they handed me two awards.
One for favorite action movie and one for favorite film.
You all thought that this was your favorite film.
So I think of Dom and Brian and I start to think of Paul.”
“My only message to you is you’d be amazed what you can do with love -- you’d be amazed how powerful a force that is,” Diesel said.
He thanked the fans and the cast and crew behind “Furious 7” before breaking into a verse from Wiz Khalifa’s “See You Again.”
