Watch Vin Diesel pay a heartfelt tribute to his late friend Paul Walker

Vin Diesel was collecting the Generation Award at the MTV Movie and TV Awards.

Vin Diesel has recently paid tribute to his former Fast & Furious co-star and friend Paul Walker when collecting the Generation Award at the 2017 MTV Movie & TV Awards.

Now collecting the Generation Award, Diesel along with the rest of the cast, looked back on collecting a trophy with Walker at the same event 15 years ago.

“In 2002, I was standing on this stage, and MTV had given Paul Walker and I an award for Best Duo,” he said. “And now, 15 years later, I’m with my whole family, and you’re giving us the Generation Award.

“Most importantly, I got to thank our generation. I got to thank a generation that was willing to accept this multicultural franchise where it didn’t matter what colour your skin was or what country you are from – when you’re family, you’re family.”

He went on to give a message to Walker, who he addressed using his pet name Pablo, “I could never stand on the stage and talk about Fast & Furious without giving love to my brother, Pablo, our brother Pablo – we hope you are proud, thank you so much”
