The upcoming 23rd annual MTV Movie Awards will pay a special tribute to ‘Fast and Furious’ star Paul Walker, who passed away in a car crash last year. The 40-year-old actor will be remembered during the award ceremony on April 13 in LA, reported Ace Showbiz.
Walker’s ‘Fast and Furious’ co-star Jordana Brewster will be introducing and leading the tribute, which would also be showcasing clips of his work. “Paul Walker was a role model for the MTV audience since the very beginning of his too-short career. Our audience grew up with him, from ‘Varsity Blues’ to the ‘Fast and Furious’ franchise,” MTV president Stephen Friedman, said.
“He was a movie star but one that they could relate to. Paul’s humanity and kindness clearly showed through every role. We’re honoured to be able to spend a moment in this year’s Movie Awards to celebrate him,” he added.
Conan O’Brien will host the event. Ellie Goulding, Zedd, Rihanna, and Eminem are among the performers. (PTI)
