‘Your dad would be proud’: Vin Diesel walks Paul Walker’s daughter down the aisle

Entertainment

Vin Diesel walked the daughter of his Fast & Furious co-star Paul Walker down the aisle at her wedding.

Meadow Walker married actor Louis Thornton-Allan in an intimate ceremony in the Dominican Republic earlier this month.

The 22-year-old has shared photos on Instagram, including a black and white snap of Diesel linking arms with her as guests watch them walk down the aisle.

Her father – famous for playing Brian O’Conner in the Fast & Furious franchise – died in a car crash in 2013 when he was 40.

Walker also posted a video sharing highlights from the ceremony, including Diesel embracing the newlyweds, with the caption: “We’re married!!!!”

Her husband replied beneath the pictures: “Yes we are !!!”

One fan wrote: “Love the fact Vin Diesel got to walk you down the aisle. Your dad would have been proud.”

Another added: “Way to go Vin for showing just how a great friend you are to Paul and taking care of his little girl and just a awesome human being you are.”

And a third posted: “It’s only right that Vin gets to walk her down the aisle.”

Diesel and Walker became close friends after playing racing rivals in the hit films.

Vogue magazine reported that the bride wore a custom Givenchy wedding dress designed by Matthew Williams, the fashion house’s creative director.

Walker also told Vogue the ceremony was a smaller affair than hoped.

She said: “The pandemic impacted our plans. Louis’s family wasn’t able to attend.

“A lot of close friends whom we consider family were also unable to attend due to travel restrictions.”
