During an interview with WGN Entertainment Critic Dean Richards about "Furious 7," Vin Diesel got emotional talking about the death of his co-star and close friend Paul Walker.
I really enjoyed it ,vins reaction when the reporter said about the memories carrying comfort made me heart warm ,he was so responsive to it and u can tell he genuinely spent good times with Paul, rip paul walker
I remember sitting in the theater watching this movie and the last clip with his brother CGI'd into it. As the movie ended and the tribute started not one person left early. We all sat there and paid our respects to one of our idols. You got me into cars Paul, I've built friends off of it, learned things I never could've imagined without your inspiration. Rest easy brother.
his last words on the interview were really touching, just from how he took a break to speak because he couldn't describe it perfectly and ultimately ending it with a "I just hope hes watching" to express the blessings and how much he wanted this movie to do good in honor of him.
This reporter should be guaranteed first interviewer for anything after seeing this. What a kind and gentle soul, he didn’t push for anything and made Vin feel comforted.
This is our very own TV anchor here in Chicago Dean Richards ,WGN 9, who right here shows how a real, professional,compassionate journalist can behave instead of of the cold hearted shark journalists that are currently in national and local news. Job well done here Dean, will always love watching you.
Understandable how they bonded ,growth and succeeded together. That was a million dollars franchise and they all did it together. Now they all are hurting together!!!!!!
Wow impressive. A reporter with heart. Vin was open for a slaughter and this guy respectfully gave him a chance to pull himself together in private with no camera like some other low lives. Much respect to the reporter thank god there is still a good one left.
He didn’t walk off the interview he just needed a moment to get himself together, I hate it when people caption articles/videos etc wrong just gives everyone the wrong idea with what actually happened.
I was just about to say the same thing your average reporter would milk the crap out of that hoping that they continue to cry while asking questions that way they could have a interview that they could have a memorable interview.
What makes this reporter good is he sympathizes with vin and doesn’t ask calculated questions. He in a sense jumps on with vin and says I feel sorry for you like it was my loss type of way even if he didn’t know Paul personally that you can tell he cared
kamille seven ah you never know with reporters n shiet he could have just been trying to expose vin to open up a new headline story "VIN DIESEL DEPRESSED!!!!!"
@@pimpslayer9109 as a chicago native that has never, nor will ever be dean in his life. he has always been a class act and he did this with the upmost respect.
@@CrusardModding bro at least learn yo respect people at least after they are not in this universe anymore..... Have some courtesy sayin like u know and u were their with him all thr time.... Just have some courtesy
yea, there r very VERY few ppl I have this much respect for n I dont give it out for shit, But this dude deff got it from me. There aint many ppl left in the world now a days that will do what he did n show respect n caring like he did. Just wish there was WAY more ppl like him in this world n not all these lairs n murderers n rapists n bullshit. NOPE we get WWWAAYYYY more shitty ppl then truly good ppl Sad that I have to say that.
Zain Alsaadi It's bawling, bud. Bowling is a sport. Now, allow me to put on my ass-clown of the year hat for correcting you given the current video we're on.
This is the second time I’ve watched this interview. It’s actually incredibly well done. Interviewer doesn’t push, he doesn’t force the conversation. He shows great understanding and kindness and acts more as a friend than an interviewer. My hat’s off to him for showing Vin and his friendship with Paul so much respect rather than acting as a journalist and trying to force something more.
He didn’t walk off the interview 😂 he was asked by the interviewer if he wanted a break. Your title makes it sound like he walks off and doesn’t come back.
Absolutely, alot of people just wanna start crap. When this interview was done it was still pretty fresh. So of course he's gonna get emotional. I just get frustrated when random people put anything possible just to get view's or likes. It's disrespectful when they do that
I find interviews cringe when other reporters try to feed off the person getting interviewed but this one was down to earth and I smiled right through it, big up WGN news
I sense that his relationship with Paul was very close & tight friendship I think apart him died after he lost his best friend you can tell he wasn’t the same.
It doesn't matter whether you have a long life if it is totally empty. Life is like a bucket and the more you fill in it (experiences, friends, family...) the more interesting the result gets. He had a good fullfilled life and did a great job on helping many- so he did everything right that he could.
@Thomas Fields I don't think he had time to react at all, i'm positive he died instantly from the force of the crash. But yeah, you're a piece of shit for that, and i hope you're just trolling
@Chilling Potato Read the autopsy report he had smoke damage in his lungs meaning he inhaled smoke while he was burning alive not trying to be an ass just speaking the truth he didn’t die instantly
Man, I miss Paul Walker also, I hardly ever cry, and I know celebrities have passed away before, but Pauls one was the only one that got me so emotional, When i saw that white car pull up next to Vin i knew it was Paul, and when they went separate ways I knew it was the final goodbye.
SouthWestLegend Yea, it was really hard. He was so sincere & caring for others. Most celebs are all about fame, but Paul was about helping people all over the world. It always hurts more when the good ones pass. FF7 was their best movie, awesome action & moving story. Some people say it's because of his death, but their acting & love for one another has grown in each movie. I haven't seen FF8, but I'm sure it has less light without you in it. The world has less light without you in it. Thankfully your brother will carry on your legacy with your R.O.W. charity, but it will never be the same. We will never be able to forget that infectious smile & beautiful soul of yours. RIP Paul. You are truly missed.
Vin genuinely cares about Paul, their on screen friendship was as close as their off screen. You can see the hurt in his eyes even behind the sunglasses
Wow this interviewer is a class act, not only did he not milk vins emotions but he turned it around , reminded him of the beauty of his friendship and asked him about what beautiful memories will live forever with him? Excellent gentlemanly way to conduct the interview . Really great. That alone shows you the integrity of the interviewer . God bless him
It just feels so painful to see Vin's face. I mean, he's literally using up all his energy just to smirk! His facial expression is fluctuating, in ever alternate syllable, his face slightly goes into a bawling open mouthed frown, and I just feel so sorry for him. Poor fella, and poor Walker family.
Everytime time I get emotional about Paul walker's death I look at the bright side Paul had successful life he had great friends, great fans who adore him, he had a daughter who adores him, he had 30 year successful career in Hollywood; he gave back to the community, he had a genuine heart and he found a way fulfilled his longtime dream of marine biology that he missed out on as youth not a lot of people who died had an opportunity to do these things before their death
Stephanie Musse That's a great way to look at it. He was truly blessed. Most of us will not achieve that in our lifetime. It still hurts because of how great of a person he was. Thankfully his legacy and charity will live on and hopefully inspire more people to do the same. RIP Paul.
Are people mourning paul walker or brian o connor? Because the world knew brian and he was a amazing character but paul we didn't know. We journeyed with brian not paul. Paul's body gave life to brian but it was Brian's life we experienced, brian's pains and struggles, Brian's life, not pauls. Sorry paul but it's brian who we bonded with - most of us never knew you. It's not unnatural to mourn a fictional character it's still loss but i think almost everyone is confused as to who they are missing. For me i bonded with brian and when paul died by extension brian died. I was rooting for brian but his story has come to an end prematurely. Its a confusing transference or association etc.thag we project brian onto paul.
ding dong that’s what I don’t get either lol I don’t see how ppl can make an emotional attachment so strong to a person they never met that it makes them cry like wtf how sensitive can someone be?
Vin went from shedding tears to being so happy talking about helping deliver the baby. These movies he’s so serious so it was real nice to see him just get all ecstatic.
It’s crazy to look back at this and know that if he was still alive, the drama between some of the cast would probably have ended already. On a side note the interviewer is a class act. Hell of a job.
Is it just me or what.. When Vin says "I just hope he's watching, you know?" My audio keeps cutting off. Is that for everyone else or just me ? If just me, Paul's watching 😊
Love the comments its nice to see more positive comments than negative ones i guess the worlds finally growing up huh. This reporter, like no other. Usually they are just rude, nosey negative pricks. This guy gave a shit. What always got me is why showing heart in the media must come AFTER being "Professional". Almost like the recent CHCH shooting, jacinda adern showed she was sad, she cared. Most priministers would be on tv being all, professional amd trying NOT to show emotion which i find kind of cold in a way. You should show your emotion.. Shows you give a fuck about the situation.
I know that comments a bit far fetched. But its rare to actually see many many good comments rather than negative ones. Someones always gotta point out something i the video, someones always gotta agree on the evil behind something, someones always replying to comments saying something negative tryna attack someone. The thruth is it does take a death, or highly horrible event to bring people together. And thats sad. And you guys who replied are both very correct. But its just nice to see something good on youtube. The comments section are usually quite a disgusting thing to look at . Theres ways one person whos a careless souless prick. But not often you see so many good hearted people. Everyones different, but very small actions can say alot about people. My comment was, just speculation. The gun laws were put through to cabinet 2 days before the ChCh shooting. Its very strange coincidence. Also jacinda acting on edge or sad or, a similar emotion. Worried perhaps. On the same day of the new gun laws put forth, on the 13th march. The shooting was the 15th march. She must have known something, perhaps it was out of her control, afterall people forget, NZ is actually highly ruled by the U.N. Most things happen there. Not in government here. I like jacinda as a person, but i dont trust her becauae shes in government. Theres many reasons not to trust her or any other politician.
A wonderfull interview and some real class shown by the interviewer. I know others have said this, but it was such a refreshing thing to see a member of the media actually respect the turmoil Vin is going through as a mourning friend instead of a milking machine and scooping tears. Just the fact that they cut from Vin standing up and not dramatically showing him walk off shot gives me the genuine impression that they respected he's feelings instead of milking them. So again, props for the interviewer and my biggest condolences to the Walker family and those close to him. I hope Paul is remembered for the man and humanitarian as well as the movie star. He deserves that. I hope he is driving he's Supra or he's MINE's edition Skyline somewhere.
it's incredible how vin and the rest of those involved with the franchise were able to connect us to Paul. When Paul passed, it really hit me. I've never met or even seen any of the cast members in person yet I really felt it when Paul left us. It's hard to imagine how anyone could watch this or any of the other footage showing the cast members grieve and not break down a little. If you're in your 20's or 30's, you practically grew up with the franchise. RIP Paul.
U know what's so fucking hard is..watching the Fast Family esp. Vin Diesel being repeatedly ask in MOST interviews about Paul. I mean u have to give him some air..change the questions up ppl!! I even breakdown when u mention his name..😣 The struggles of being a celeb. You gotta deal with media. But sometimes it's a great thing too because he's a legend worth remembering.
How can anyone dislike this interview? Should Vin have no emotions? Whenever I watch the Paul tribute at the end of Furious 7, I get a tear in my eye. Because, Paul and Vin’s brotherhood friendship reminds me of losing one of my best friends three years ago. He passed from a massive heart attack at only 45. Nobody saw it coming. Strong as an ox, healthy as a horse. He left three daughters behind. We always called each other brother. RIP Paul and Dave.
Honestly, I don't think they were friends. I once crossed paths with an individual who looks like Van Diesel. He snapped his fingers and attempted to grab me. The dude treated me like a dog as if I was at his beck and call. Street harassment.
What an interviewer. Totally respectful, and brought up his own past experiences, to let Vin know, we ALL go through losses of one's we love, and told him what helped HIM get through it.
okay watch the movie Tyreese said I cant do anymore funerals the camera focus on paul walker .... okay they Tyreese said it again and paul walker said just one more, which meant himself in real life not the movie.... no joke

ding dong its not exactly True Some people are Just the characters and theyre Just themselves When they play them Just like with jack sparrow and johny depp
