The Rock Pens Touching Note for Paul Walker on His Birthday

Today would have been Paul Walker‘s 46th birthday, and his Fast and the Furious co-star Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson posted a tribute for him.

“I never post about my friend. Personal thing, but I prefer to keep our memories and bond private and quiet. But something about today compelled me as a moving reminder of how fragile life is for all of us. It’s Paul’s birthday and rightfully so, his legacy celebrated around the world,” The Rock captioned a photo of them on Instagram. “Our friendship was bonded over our daughters, Meadow & Simone and the pride and protection we took being their fathers. And recently, I got a scare when I almost lost another friend [Kevin Hart] on the road. All this stuff got me thinking about how beautiful, yet wildly unpredictable life is. We never know what’s around the corner, so we gotta live as greatly as we can in the honor of our loved ones and ancestors who are no longer with us. Manuia le aso fanau, my friend. #livegreatly #pw.”

Paul passed away in a tragic car accident in November of 2013 when he was 40 years old. His daughter Meadow just posted a sweet tribute to her late father.
