Vin Diesel has been doing a lot of publicity for Furious 7 which opens April 3. He has also been talking about how close he and Paul Walker were. So close that he named his newborn daughter Pauline after him. The ultimate tribute.

Vin Diesel and the cast of Furious 7 have been doing the talk show circuit for the April 3 opening . There has also been a lot of talk about Paul Walker. It feels like the cast and especially Vin are having a difficult time with his death now that the movie is coming out.

Vin says 'Paul was part of his family, his soul mate and brother'. He said he could feel Paul with him during the birth of his daughter.

According to Today.com

"He was in the room," Diesel recalled. "There's no other person that I was thinking about as I was cutting this umbilical cord. I just ... knew he was there."

Vin Diesel seems like such a nice guy. Down to earth and thankful for what he has. Naming his daughter after Paul Walker is the most precious heartfelt thing he could do to honor the friendship they shared. Pauline is a very special little girl.

RIP Paul
