Paul Walker’s daughter Meadow teases ‘Fast X’ cameo: ‘I was born into the ‘Fast’ family’ /d
Paul Walker’s daughter Meadow Walker Thornton-Allan is following in his footsteps and will be making an appearance in the upcoming action-packed movie, “Fast X.”
Thornton-Allen, 24, announced on Thursday that she has a cameo in the 10th installment of the “Fast & Furious” franchise.
On Instagram, the model posted a shot from the movie — out May 19 — showing her whipping her head around while on an airplane.
She penned a tribute to her late father and explained how excited she was to finally be in the long-running series that made Walker a star.
“The first ‘Fast’ was released when I was one year old! I grew up on set watching my father, Vin [Diesel], Jordana [Brewster], Michelle [Rodriguez], [Ludacris] and more on the monitors,” she began, shouting out the cast of the film.
“Thanks to my dad, I was born into the ‘Fast’ family. I can’t believe now I get to be up there, too. With those who have been around to see me grow up,” she added.
“I am so blessed to be able to honor my father’s legacy and share this with him forever. I love you all so much!”
Meadow Walker Thornton-Allen is making a cameo in the upcoming film, “Fast X.”
Walker died in November 2013 in a car crash along with his friend, Roger Rodas, in Santa Clarita, California.
Their red Porsche struck a light pole, a tree and then burst into flames.
“Fast X” is the latest heart-racing movie in the car-chasing series, reuniting stars such as Diesel, Brewster, Rodriguez, Ludacris and Tyrese Gibson.

Fresh faces in the upcoming film include Jason Momoa, Rita Moreno and Brie Larson, with returning cast members Jason Statham, John Cena, Helen Mirren and Charlize Theron rounding out the ensemble cast.
The “West Side Story” legend’s surprise casting was announced last May on Diesel’s social media, and he couldn’t help but gush over the 91-year-old.
“It’s been my dream forever to work with Rita Moreno, and the fact that she’s here playing my grandmother makes my soul smile,” he said of the EGOT winner, who will play the grandma of his character, Dominic Toretto. “I’m so blessed.”

Before Thornton-Allen stepped onto the “Fast & Furious” set, Walker’s brothers Caleb and Cody Walker also had parts in the franchise.
The two provided assistance with filling in after his death to help complete the filming of 2015’s “Fast & Furious 7.”
Thornton-Allen has stayed close to her father’s “Fast” family, with Diesel, 55, being her godfather and even walking her down the aisle at her 2021 wedding to Louis Thornton-Allan.
Brewster, 43, was also a guest at the ceremony, which occurred in the Dominican Republic.
