Diesel said that he grew up in the bouncer world and that he also lost a lot of people while they were bouncing. However, he said that the brotherhood in Paul Walker was completely different. Basically, Paul was his partner and it is really strange how things have turned out.

He noted that in acting, they don't teach you to act with someone as if that person is still alive when in fact they are not anymore. He talked to the audience saying that it has been rough and that all of us have experienced losing someone we love in our lives.

Kelly, one of the co-host, said that Paul's death was sudden and tragic. Diesel agreed saying that people do not know that when you work on an action movie, you put your life on the line more than what you should. He compared it to bouncing and that he was a knuckle head back then. However, when you go to action sequences, you put yourself in different kinds of stunts which are really dangerous.

He did lose composure at the start of the interview but he managed to admit that Paul's death was one of the heavy things he dealt with.

After gaining a bit of composure he admitted that it was one of the heaviest things he's dealt with. He said that it was one of the darker moments in his journey.

The movie is slated to be out on theatres sometime April of 2015. It was known to the public that the film still included Paul Walker but the producers had to use old footages, computer simulations, and even doubles from Paul's own brothers were used just to complete the movie.
