Vin Diesel, Michelle Rodriguez, and Jordana Brewster praise Paul Walker’s daughter Meadow for making ‘meaningful’ cameo in Fast X

Meadow Walker Thornton-Allan – the only child and heir of the late Paul Walker – made her big-screen acting debut as a flight attendant who interacts with John Cena in Louis Leterrier’s 10th installment of the Fast franchise, Fast X, which hit US theaters last Friday.

‘It did something to my soul, to see her want to honor her father and to contribute in her own way to his life’s work,’ the 24-year-old DNA Model’s godfather Vin Diesel told People last Saturday.

‘It meant everything.’

Michelle Rodriguez – who plays the 55-year-old action star’s onscreen wife Letty – echoed his sentiment: ‘It’s everything to us because [Paul’s] memory is never going to die within the franchise, so as long as we’re doing it, we have to maintain that, [keeping his] energy alive.’

Jordana Brewster – who plays Paul’s onscreen wife Mia – said of Meadow’s performance: ‘To have her be on set and work her butt off was really, really inspiring.’

Thus far, Fast X has earned $318.9M of its $340M budget back at the global box office despite scoring a dismal 54% critic approval rating (out of 228 reviews) on Rotten Tomatoes.

Walker glammed up in Alaïa as she posed with her castmates during the Rome premiere of Fast X at the Colosseum, which she called a ‘once in a lifetime experience.’

The Cali-born, Hawaiian-raised nepo-baby was only one year old when her famous father made his debut as undercover cop Brian O’Conner in The Fast and the Furious back in 2001.

‘I grew up on set watching my father, Vin, Jordana, Michelle, Chris, and more on the monitors. Thanks to my dad, I was born into the fast family,’ Meadow – who boasts 5M social media followers – gushed on May 11.

‘I can’t believe now I get to be up there too. With those who have been around to see me grow up. Thank you [Louis Leterrier] for your kindness, patience and support. It feels like you’ve been part of the family since we started, I’m happy it’s just the beginning.

‘Special shoutout to my dad’s best friend who is now my best friend [Brandon Birtell], this wouldn’t have been possible without you. I am so blessed to be able to honor my father’s legacy and share this with him forever.’

Last Friday, Walker was hard at work on the desert set of a mystery film project shot by cinematographer Pedro Sotero and produced by her late father’s best friend, Laguna Ridge Pictures president Brandon Birtell.

The Viva Model was joined by her husband of 19 months, British aspiring actor Louis Thornton-Allan, whom she originally began dating in June 2021.

Meadow’s father Paul tragically died, age 40, in 2013 shortly after hopping into a Porsche Carrera GT with his pal Roger Rodas, who crashed into a concrete lamp and two trees in Valencia, CA.

The SoCal native’s cremated remains were buried at Forest Lawn Memorial Park in the Hollywood Hills in a non-denominational ceremony.

Walker was only 15 when Paul died and she received $7.2M in her 2014 settlement from the Rodas estate, according to TMZ.

And by 2017, the 5ft9in brunette and her grandfather Paul Sr. settled a separate lawsuit against Porsche ‘to the satisfaction of all involved’ – according to the Los Angeles Times.

Meanwhile, Meadow’s mother is Rebecca Soteros, a primary school teacher.

Aside from modeling, Walker keeps busy serving as the president of the Paul Walker Foundation as well as the global ambassador for Pencils of Promise and the United Nations Population Fund.
