'Furious 7' Premiere: Vin Diesel Honors Paul Walker

It's been well documented that Vin Diesel took his friend Paul Walker's passing quite poorly. Walker died in a car accident two years ago, but with the release of "Furious 7," his final movie, the actor has posthumously been in the spotlight of late.

At the premiere of the seventh film in the "Fast & Furious" series, Diesel got emotional while talking about Walker and the impact his loss had on the movie, according to ABC News.

"I'm going to tell you something, last year it was really hard to come back to work," Diesel said. "This movie is more than a movie. You'll feel it when you see it. There's something emotional happens to you. Where you walk out of this movie and you appreciate everyone you love."

He added that seeing the hard work of other actors on the set of the movie "showing up" and being "committed" helped him out.

Producer Paul Moritz was also emotional. He was visibly shaking as he read from a piece of paper, according to USA Today.

"As you all know we lost someone very dear to us during the filming," Moritz said. "Paul was the most decent, thoughtful, caring human being I have ever met. Losing him was a blow to all of us... I know Paul is smiling down on us right now.

"We love you forever, Paul. And you will always be a part of all of us."
