Jordana Brewster, queen of grace and speed herself, took a pit stop on Instagram this Saturday (November 30) to pay tribute to her Fast & Furious co-star Paul Walker. Why? Because it’s been 11 years since we tragically lost him, and let’s be real—he’ll forever be family.
The 44-year-old actress kicked things off with some raw honesty:
“I woke up so edgy today. Annoyed by EVERY. Little. Thing,” she confessed. (We’ve all been there—like when your Wi-Fi buffers mid-binge or your coffee is mysteriously decaf). Then it hit her like a Vin Diesel monologue: “Someone isn’t here who should be.”
Cue the gut punch. Jordana reminisced about Paul, calling him that guy. You know, the one who made everyone feel like they were in a NOS-powered hug. “The one that lifted up everyone around him,” she wrote. “The one who worked his ass off but didn’t let it show. The one with grace and humor.” (Translation: a real-life unicorn in cargo shorts.)
She ended her heartfelt post with: “#11years Miss you forever @paulwalker,” because how else do you wrap up a message that heavy? Oh, and she shouted out Paul’s daughter, Meadow Walker, saying, “@meadowwalker is carrying on your legacy through her beauty and strength.” Basically, Meadow is out here making Paul proud while also casually being flawless.
And if that wasn’t enough to get the waterworks flowing, Jordana included some old-school pics of her and Paul, back when life was simpler, hair gel was plentiful, and everything smelled faintly of motor oil.
Meadow slid into the comments to drop a sweet “I love you ❤️,” proving that this bond isn’t just Fast, it’s also Furious-ly strong.
As a reminder (not that we need one), Paul tragically passed away on November 30, 2013, at just 40 years old. While his loss still hits like a tire blowout, Jordana and the Fast fam keep his memory alive—one heartfelt post and epic car chase at a time.
