I actually enjoy those Fast and Furious movies as a bit of a guilty pleasure. I have friends that work in movies in New Orleans that have had the chance to meet Paul Walker and they said he was a really great guy

QUOTE(last337 @ Dec 2 2013, 02:22 PM)  I actually enjoy those Fast and Furious movies as a bit of a guilty pleasure. I have friends that work in movies in New Orleans that have had the chance to meet Paul Walker and they said he was a really great guy RIP (IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) He would go to the weekend car get-togethers once in a while. He was one of us... Didn't act like he was special at all. There is a story going around that he was in a jewelry store and overheard a guy in uniform who was trying to buy a ring for his fiance. The guy was visibly anxious because he didn't know rings cost that much. Paul Walker approached the sales lady and paid $10K for their ring purchase. The military couple didn't know or recognize him and the sales lady told them to watch the Fast and Furious movies. He didn't even stick around for a thank you. Just told the sales lady to thank the guy for his service. Confirmed: From CNN There are tales of Walker's incredible generosity. CNN confirmed one story from a decade ago when Walker noticed a young U.S. soldier shopping with his fiancee for a wedding ring in a Santa Barbara jewelry store. "The groom was just back from duty in Iraq, and he was going to be deployed again soon and wanted to buy a wedding ring, but he said he just could not afford it," saleswoman Irene King told CNN. "I don't think the soldier realized how expensive those rings are, about $10,000." The couple apparently did not know who Walker was, King said. "Walker called the manager over and said, 'Put that girl's ring on my tab,'" she said. "Walker left all his billing info, and it was a done deal. The couple was stunned. She was thrilled and could not believe someone did this." King called it "the most generous thing I have ever seen." |
