Paul’s co-star Jordana Brewster recently revealed her connection with him while speaking to PEOPLE. She said,
“I think when someone passes away that has a huge impact on your life and has had a huge impact, frankly, on so many people’s lives. Goes in waves where it’s super visceral at times, and it’s like it’s unimaginable that that person’s not with us anymore.”
She continued,
“It just gets very intense and then sometimes it’s less intense. But it just comes in waves, regardless of whether it’s that person’s birthday or not.”
The Fast and Furious star died on November 30, 2013. At that time he was in the middle of filming Fast 7. Paul’s brothers Cody and Caleb were approached to stand for his character.
Paul started his acting career as a child actor in the 1980s and the actor has appeared in The Turbo Charged Prelude for 2 Fast 2 Furious, 2 Fast 2 Furious, Fast & Furious, Furious 7, Monster in the Closet, Programmed to Kill, and many more.
