Vin Diesel and Paul Walker were always incredibly close, and that’s not just because they starred in so many movies together, the installments of the “Fast & Furious” franchise, but because they simply clicked. Never before has that been more painfully obvious than in the days following Paul’s death in November.

The actor was killed in a one-car accident that also cost the life of his good friend Roger Rodas, who was driving at the time of the crash. The seventh installment of the film franchise will still be completed and released, with reports saying his character will be “retired” and not killed off.

Hours ago, to thank fans for their undying support and recent outpouring of love, Vin took to his Facebook to post a very touching video comprised of behind the scenes footage of him and Paul.

He accompanied it simply with, “A glimpse... of Dom and Brian… off screen,” using their characters’ names.

Before that, he had told his fans that he had a surprise in store for them.

“You have always been so supportive, especially in these past two months. So, I wanted to share something personal that I worked on through the New Year, in honor of my brother Pablo… Paul,” he wrote.

Check it out but, be warned, it would be ideal if you had some handkerchiefs at the ready.
