Born on Sept. 12, 1973, Paul was the eldest of four children born to Cheryl, a former model, and Paul Walker III, a former amateur boxer. He had a younger sister named Ashlie and two younger brothers, Caleb and Cody.
Cody Beau Walker (born June 13, 1988) is an American actor. He is the youngest brother of actor Paul Walker; and helped complete the final scenes for Paul's character, Brian O'Conner, in the film Furious 7 (2015) following his brother's death.
And so that's kind of how we were raised until a point. Again, Paul was 15 years older than me, but I remember before 'Fast' it was more older cars or even Resto mod stuff. And then he landed 'Fast and the Furious,' which then kind of brought him in and indoctrinated him into the whole Japanese tuner world.
The super emotional scene of Dom (Vin Diesel) parting ways with Brian (Paul/Cody Walker) at the end of the movie features Paul's brother Cody. An advanced AI technique of Computer Generated Imagery (CGI) was combined with deepfakes to create an ultra-realistic imitation of Paul Walker.
What I wish I could tell you Cody Walker to Paul Walker?
It's unbelievable that it's been nearly 10 years, because it doesn't feel like it. I wish I could tell you how much you're missed and how much of an impact you made on the lives of not only members of your family, but people around the world. This year we named my third child Paul Barrett Walker.

What did Vin Diesel say to Paul Walker?
"I miss you," Diesel wrote on Instagram. "I love you and I will continue to honor the beautiful soul you are." Family really is forever. Vin Diesel paid tribute to the late Paul Walker (his brother "for eternity") on Instagram this week, honoring what would have been the actor's 50th birthday.
No, Cody Walker does not appear in the latest Fast and Furious instalment. Though he has not ruled out further appearances in future films. TMZ reported that while Cody says there are no secret cameos from him in "Fast X", he acknowledges there's always been talk of it, and doesn't completely shut the door.
After seeing footage of Brian O'Conner's character on the beach with his family, he and Toretto finally say goodbye. O'Conner takes a detour with his vehicle and drives off into the horizon, at which point a message dedicating the film to Walker appears.
Fast & Furious 11 is set to be released in cinemas on April 4, 2025 but as mentioned above, that date will be delayed. Development is already underway on the 11th movie with Fast X director Louis Leterrier returning. The new movie will be written by Christina Hodson and Oren Uziel.
Paul William Walker IV was born in Glendale, California. He grew up together with his brothers, Caleb and Cody, and sisters, Ashlie and Amie. Their parents, Paul William Walker III, a sewer contractor, and Cheryl (Crabtree) Walker, a model, separated around September 2004.
Following the tragic death of Paul Walker in a car crash during the production of "Furious 7," his brother Cody was asked to stand in for several scenes. At the time there was even talk Cody may end up taking over the role for future sequels, but it was morbid speculation more than anything.
What was the age difference between Paul and Cody Walker?
Paul Walker with his brother Cody Walker. Paul and his younger brother Caleb were born four years apart — but there were 15 years between Paul and Cody. Despite their large age gap, Paul and Cody had a close relationship, with the late actor serving more as a second father than just a big brother.
Walker died in a tragic car accident on November 13, 2013, when he and Roger Rodas crashed into a tree while driving a Porsche Carrera GT in Santa Clarita, California. He was 40 years old. Rodas was driving at an estimated speed of 80 to 93 mph.
Although he had finished most of his on-camera work for Furious 7, Paul Walker's death meant that the film ultimately had to be rewritten and explain why Brian O'Conner wouldn't be in future sequels. This led to scenes where Paul Walker's brother came in to complete Brian's story in Furious 7.
"Thankfully, I had shot certain stuff with Paul, like his ending action stuff, but there were still many bits missing in the film that needed Paul. I shot only half of what I needed from Paul before his passing, and then we worked with visual effects to salvage what we had.
The good news is that a Paul Walker Fast X return happened with Brian, but there was no CGI needed and nothing harmed the final story of Brian retiring to keep his family safe.
Summary. Furious 7 found a way to give Brian an emotional send-off, despite Paul Walker's tragic death. Fast Five introduced the idea of Brian eventually leaving Dom's crew for family reasons. Brian's continued absence is justified by his decision to retire and prioritize his children.
Fast & Furious 12 is the twelfth and final film in the Fast & Furious franchise. Set to be the third part of a trilogy beginning with Fast X, the film will test the limits of the Fast Family as they head out on one last ride.
Walker didn't reprise his role as Brian in Tokyo Drift, but that's not because he didn't want to. He revealed in the past that his absence came down to a new direction that the studio wanted to take the Fast & Furious franchise.
Thorp revealed: "Roger backed [the car] into the garage and Paul jumped in and said, 'Hey, let's go for a drive'." Standing at the site of the crash scene and pointing to the mangled wreck of the red supercar, Jim added: "So they went for a little drive and this is what happened."
Her godfather is Vin Diesel, with whom Walker shared a close bond; Diesel gave him the nickname "Pablo", while Walker's mother referred to her son as Diesel's "other half". Walker was also close friends with fellow Fast & Furious co-star Tyrese Gibson.
