Re: RIP Paul Walker?

That's what happens when you drive 2 Fast and 2 Furious.
 
Re: RIP Paul Walker?

Hopefully he's not really dead. I'm not sure James Van Der Beek is ready to fill his shoes.

Driving fast cars and making love to beautiful ladies might be the opportunity of a lifetime, but James don't want your life!

Actually Gehrig, it seems the hoax story was a hoax. TMZ's ethics are questionable, but they rarely misreport celebrity deaths/scandal.

It is with great sadness to report that @RealPaulWalker has passed away. We will miss you. #RIP


Looks like he's banging Darcy Sears on that big washing machine in the sky.

Looking on the wire and those photos are brutal. Wondering just how fast he was going when it happened. Not trying to be crass with that at all.
 
I guess this is how The Skulls finally get revenge on Caleb Mandrake.

In all seriousness...RIP to one of my wives crushes.

Saw at least one report that he wasn't driving. He was a passenger. The driver was also killed.
 
Makes me sick. I used to work at a bureau in Brooksville, Fla., where Eagles DE Jerome Brown wrapped his Corvette ZR-1 around a tree, killing himself and a young boy in the passenger seat. Looks like it's unclear whether or not Walker was driving, but someone was very likely feeling invincible in a car that, while high-performance, isn't idiot-proof.
 
Sad news. He seemed to be one of those guys who was the "next big thing" at one time, then others came along who became bigger. Glad he achieved success in the Fast and Furious franchise though.
 
Haven't seen any Fast & Furious movies but I saw a picture of him and immediately remembered him from She's All That. As I read up on him, it appears he was a really good guy who didn't let Hollywood go to his head. The world can't afford to lose too many good people. This definitely sucks.
 
Live fast, die young, leave a good-looking corpse.
Two out of three aint' bad.

One of the more wooden actors out there during his time.
I am sorry he lost his life, but it doesn't usually end well for speed demons/reckless drivers.
He was a passenger.
