“Most importantly, I’ve gotta thank our generation. I’ve got to thank a generation that was willing to accept this multicultural franchise where it didn’t matter what colour your skin was or where you’re from: when you’re family, you’re family,” said Vin on stage.

Using his nickname for Paul Walker, Vin added, “I could never stand on this stage and talk about Fast & Furious without giving love to our brother Pablo. We hope you’re proud.”

Yep. That’s got us RIGHT IN THE FEELS.
