Today marks the the third anniversary of Paul Walker's death. He tragically passed three years ago in a car accident that took him before his time. He touched so many lives with his art, his charity, and his innate kindness. Today, we celebrate his life by remembering how exactly he impacted us, especially Latinos.
He Was a Family Man
If there's one thing that us Latinos love, it's family. How would we survive without abuela's flan or mom's chicken and rice? We would, but life would be a lot less enjoyable. Besides being a movie star, Paul Walker's most important role was being a father.
His only daughter, Meadow, was inseperable from him. Although he was busy making films, they always worked to spend time together. She was his everything.
He Was Sexy.
Without a doubt, Paul Walker was one of the sexiest human beings alive. He was part German, part Swiss, and part Irish, but he might as well would have been part Latino with that glowing tan and innate sexual charisma.
The Fast & Furious Franchise
One of the best parts of The Fast & Furious franchise was the inclusion of so many Latino actors. This was the first film franchise with most Latino actors ever. That's a pretty big feat feat. Michelle Rodriguez, Eva Mendez, Jordana Brewster, Romeu Santos, and Don Omar are just a few of the names that graced the screen.
