Paul Walker, actor: "I apply the same mindset to everything I do: Go big or go home"
The actor was born on September 12, 1974 in California
Paul Walker was much more than Brian O"Conner. The character from ‘Fast & Furious ’ ended up becoming one of the most recognizable of his career and, at the same time, the image with which millions of viewers remember the actor. But behind the character there was also a Paul Walker away from the spotlight. The person.
It was in 2001 that his career changed completely. The release of the first film in the saga turned him into one of Hollywood's most popular faces and launched a franchise that was headed straight for success.
His death , in 2013 , put an end to a career that had become closely linked to that character. He was 40 years old.
Paul Walker and his particular way of understanding life
However, there are phrases that allow you to know a person beyond the roles they have played throughout their life. In Walker's case, one of the most remembered sums up quite well his way of facing life: “I apply the same thinking to everything I experience: ‘Go big or go home”.
It was not an especially complicated phrase, but it was direct. It spoke of doing things for real, not doing them halfway when something was worth it. A way of thinking that also fit well with much of the image he projected throughout his career.
His legacy was therefore not reduced to Brian O"Conner. Since his passing, tributes and memories from colleagues, followers, and family members have continued to come, keeping the bond with the actor alive beyond the saga that made him a global star.
One of the most personal has come from his daughter, Meadow Walker, who has kept her father's memory alive and has shared memories of her life with him on different occasions.
