Paul Walker. I mean, this guy is a movie star who's known for driving fast cars in his films. And...he's killed in a car accident? Still hard to believe.
And for those who can't quite understand why so many people were distraught about Paul's death, here's why:
He was an embedded fixture in pop culture. And not just as a pretty face. Yes, he was freakishly handsome. Like, take-your-breath-away good looking, but that's not it. Paul was a part of one of the most successful movie franchises ever, Fast & Furious (Universal Studio's biggest franchise of all time.)
The multiethnic cast, gorgeous stars, family elements and consistent storytelling has worked for Fast & Furious. The movies have grossed almost $3 billion worldwide, and continue to dominate the international film market also.
So, Paul Walker was a world famous super star. Huge. And his impact on our culture was undeniably real. He passed away a few days ago and people are still talking about it. Still in shock. His influence and impact won't go away because he died. We'll keep talking about him. We'll keep swooning over those piercing blue eyes. We'll keep watching his movies. We'll always remember him. Watch and see.
