Vin Diesel Names Daughter After Paul Walker

In an interview, the Furious 7 star revealed that he named his new born daughter Pauline after his beloved co-star and "brother."

"Walker was in the room. There is no other person that I am thinking about as I cut this umbilical cord," he told Today's Natalie Morales. 

"I knew he was there and I felt like, you know, a way to keep his memory a part of my memory, a part of my world."

Diesel and his girlfriend, Paloma Jimenez, announced the arrival of Pauline their third child together on March 16th, 2015.

Diesel and the rest of the Fast & Furious family are still reeling from Walker's death, particularly as they do promotion for the franchise's latest installment, Furious 7.

"When the tragedy happened, I lost my best friend," Diesel said at an early screening of the film last week. "I lost my brother." 

"This was a labor of love," he added. "It was in some ways the hardest movie I ever had to do."
