In an interview with People magazine, Cody Walker expressed his emotions, saying, “This November will be ten years since we lost my brother Paul, and I just felt like now was the right time.” He continued: “Although he quickly outgrew our father’s height, he was nicknamed ‘little Paul’ or ‘Paul 4’ in the family.

Keeping Paul Walker’s legacy alive
In unfortunate circumstances, Paul Walker passed unexpectedly in November 2013 while “Furious 7” was still in development. Following his untimely departure, production on the film was put on hold but was later resumed using Cody Walker and his brother Caleb as stand-ins for the late star. This event recognized Paul’s legacy within the franchise while ensuring the completion of the film.
Walker died due to circumstances that included a car accident. He rode with him in a 2005 Porsche Carrera GT driven by his teammate. A terrible fire started when a car crashed into a lamppost. About 30 miles north of Hollywood, in Valencia, Santa Clarita, this incident occurred.
