Fast & Furious star Vin Diesel has found a lasting way to pay tribute to his deceased co-star Paul Walker. On an appearance on The Today Show, Diesel revealed that he named his newborn daughter Pauline in honor of Walker.
"There's no other person that I'm thinking about as I'm cutting this umbilical cord," said Diesel to host Natalie Morales. "I knew [Walker] was there and I felt like, you know, a way to keep his memory a part of my memory, a part of my world."
Pauline is Diesel's third child with longtime girlfrend Paloma Jiménez. He announced her birth to fans in a Facebook post earlier this month.
