Then & Now: 15 Photos Of The Cast Of Fast And Furious

10. Vin Diesel

Whenever I think about The Fast and the Furious, Vin Diesel is the first character who automatically springs to mind. For me, his face is synonymous with the films. Since he first appeared on the film back in 2001, he has certainly done a lot with his life. Diesel welcomed three children into this beautiful world with the help of his gorgeous girlfriend Paloma Jimenez. His acting career is defined by some of our favorite action-packed films. I’ve got to hand it to Vinny he certainly has aged well, he really doesn’t look all that different just a few extra wrinkles (the sign of a good life). Still sporting the same hair do, but he’s definitely learned how to smile, I mean who can blame him, he has a lot to smile about. Not only did he conquer the acting world, he became a producer and director. Vin Diesel isn’t one to settle for mediocre and went on to add several other strings to his bow, he founded the film production company One Race Films, Racetrack Records, and the video game company Tigon Studios. Who knows what the next card he pulls will be.

9. Paul Walker

Taken too soon but never forgotten. Paul Walker was just 40 years old at the time of his tragic death. The talented actor also starred in many other films such as Low Zero, Lethal Immersion, and Never Play with Strangers. When he appeared on The Fast and the Furious, safe to say, he captured the hearts of many women all over the globe. With his good looks and infectious charm, he was set for success from the very beginning. What I admired most about Walker was that despite his riches he had a keen interest in looking after the world we live in. He traveled to Chile after the 2010 earthquake and continued his lifelong interest in marine biology. His life suddenly came to a tragic end when the car he was driving collided with another vehicle, the soundtrack from Fast & Furious 7 was nominated at the Golden Globe Awards for best original song, it was a tribute to Walker. He left behind a beautiful daughter called Meadow Rain Walker. In 2011, Paul gained full custody of his daughter, you could see he was completely dedicated to being a full-time father despite having a demanding job. May he rest in peace.

8. Jordana Brewster

Jordana Brewster is originally from Panama City but she grew up living in the U.S. and Brazil. She was born out of a successful family her father is a celebrated banking investor and her mother is a former model of Sports Illustrated, that’s probably where Jordana gets her good looks from. Acting isn’t Jordana’s only forte, she has also tried her hand in the modelling world, and she speaks fluent Portuguese. Who knew! In her later life, she married to film producer Andrew Form back in 2007 with a low key private ceremony in the Bahamas. The two of them met at work on the set of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning. Not exactly the most romantic of sets I imagine, but still, they fell in love. They went on to have beautiful children Julian and Rowan. Both of their children were born through a rental belly. It is not clear whether Jordana simply cannot carry the child herself because of medical issues, or she simply didn’t want to give birth and preferred a surrogacy. She seems to have slipped out the limelight for now but we have a feeling she will back very soon.
