Paul Walker's daughter, Meadow Walker, has a unique way of remembering her late father!
The ninth anniversary of the iconic actor's death is weeks away, but his only child continues to honor his memory with a beautiful tradition. The 24-year-old model opened up about keeping Paul in her heart at the WSJ. Magazine's Innovator Awards on Wednesday, November 2.
Meadow Walker Does Not Want To Forget Her Late Father's Voice
The Wall Street Journal's annual Innovator Awards ceremony celebrates the groundbreaking talents and change-makers in the fashion, entertainment, and art industries. At this year's glamorous event, Meadow strutted down the carpet in a body-hugging brown dress.
The outfit boasted ruched patterns and a sexy stomach cut-out, completing the model's slender frame. While showcasing her beauty at the Museum of Modern Art, the location of the award ceremony, the 24-year-old stopped her parade to talk about her beloved father.
The daughter of the "Fast & Furious" actor was only 15 when Paul tragically died in a devastating car crash in 2013. Despite losing her loved one at a young age, the Hollywood heartthrob's presence remains fresh in her heart. Thanks to the deceased's successful career, the catwalk queen retained precious memories like the entertainer's voice. In the media personality's words:
"They always say the first thing you forget about someone is their voice, so I’m fortunate enough to have his voice in many movies."
Meadow explained that she found comfort in watching her father's movies and ensuring his legacy never fades. "I like to watch [his movies] at night. For me, it brings me joy to talk about him and keep his spirit alive," the model said.
To ensure the "Furious 7" star's continued remembrance, the black-haired beauty launched The Paul Walker Foundation in 2015. However, the 24-year-old did not expect massive support for the late actor. She said:
"Honestly, I just saw him as my dad, and I think he kept me very behind the scenes of everything, so I didn’t realize how big his fan base was. To see the continuation — even now, the outpouring of love is honestly kind of amazing but also weird."
Despite her shock, the fashion queen felt proud of her father's fame. As someone who knew how excellent Paul was, having millions of others testify to that fact made the charity founder happy.
Although they had a short time together, Meadow declared that her late father meant the world to her. In her words, "He was seriously my best friend, my confidante, my everything. I feel like he’s always with me."
On her father's posthumous 49th birthday, The Blast reported that the "Into The Blue" star's daughter led the celebrations in September. The blue-eyed bombshell took to Instagram with a heartwarming post that captured her love for Paul.
Flaunting her striking resemblance to the late TV personality, the 24-year-old shared a throwback picture of herself posing with the Reach Out Worldwide organization founder. The Hollywood heartthrob gave off a smoldering intensity while his daughter flashed an adorable smile.
The pair looked as smug as two peas in a pod with matching blue eyes, blonde-black hair, and similar facial structure. The following slide featured shirts and caps customized with the words "Do Good." According to the images, the Paul Walker Foundation produced these outfits.
To honor the late actor's birthday, 100% of the sales profit would be donated to the organization's scholarship fund. Meadow captioned this beautiful post with the message, "Happy Birthday to my best friend and twin soul. I love you forever and miss you every day."
Will The Model Join The 'Fast & Furious' Family Like Her Father?
Paul's death left behind a gaping hole in the "Fast & Furious" franchise, as no one could dream of replacing the phenomenal Brian O'Conner. However, many hoped another Walker would fill the spot.
The Blast previously shared that Ludacris, a prominent cast member in the action-packed series, wished to have Meadow in the movies. When asked about the topic, the iconic rapper said:
"She is a phenomenal person. She has those great genetics, and I would love to see it. That’s all I can say."
Although he did not confirm or deny the speculations about the model's involvement in the franchise. Fans are nonetheless excited for the final installment of the "Fast & Furious" series.
