Paul Walker Loved Going To Drag Races Long Before He Starred in ‘The Fast and the Furious’

Paul Walker starred in seven of the nine Fast & Furious films before his tragic death in 2013. By that time the franchise had shifted its focus to developing a series of heist and action films, instead of drag racing. In the original film, however, Paul Walker plays an undercover cop who is tasked with taking down a group of car thieves led by Vin Deisel’s character, Dominic Toretto. For anyone who watches the movie, if it seems like Walker is unusually comfortable with joyriding and attending drag races, it’s because he was. The deceased movie star once revealed that he attended many street races long before he ever shot a scene for The Fast and the Furious.
