Vin Diesel has admitted he “went through three boxes of tissues” after the death of his Fast And Furious co-star Paul Walker.

The 47 year old has been open about not being able to control his emotions during filming for Fast And Furious 7, which Paul and Vin were both working on when Paul was killed in a car crash.

Vin told Variety magazine: “I’m supposed to be in killer mode.

“I went through three boxes of tissues, and I felt so embarrassed. I had always been the kind of actor that other actors respect.

“I was just failing so hard. My nose was running and my eyes were tearing.

“I had to walk off set and try to get all the fluids out. I couldn’t contain my emotions.

“It became the toughest film I ever had to shoot.”

Vin announced earlier this week that he and his girlfriend Paloma Jiminez had named their new baby girl Pauline in honour of his friend.

He explained: “I named her Pauline.

“There’s no other person that I’m thinking about as I’m cutting this umbilical cord.

“I knew he was there and I felt like, you know, a way to keep his memory a part of my memory, a part of my world.”
