RZA On Paul Walker Passing: 'I Could Have Hung With Him For The Rest Of My Life'

US actor Paul Walker's untimely passing in November last year occurred during filming of the The Fast And The Furious franchise flick, Furious 7. It has since gone on to make over $1.4 billion dollars at the box office and is currently the fourth highest grossing film of all time.

However, prior to production commencing on Furious 7, Walker's last ever completed film was last April's action movie, Brick Mansions, which he starred as the lead alongside rapper and film maker, RZA.

Speaking to TheMusic, RZA, real name, Robert Diggs, said he had very fond memories working on screen with Walker. 

"That was a great experience," Diggs recalled of the Brick Mansions shoot, where he played a drug kin pin, who helps Walkers character, an undercover cop, expose a conspiracy. 

"Paul was a great, great guy. You know, [his passing] was a great loss to Hollywood, a great loss for his family, just to a lot of us out there – acting, directing, producing, whatever. Every once in a while you'll meet somebody who's just super-cool – like, this guy is the guy, you know what I mean? I could have hung with him for the rest of my life and felt comfortable."

The Wu-Tang Clan revealed that his bond with the late star carried on after filming finished last year.

"Sometimes you finish the job and the job is over and you go – but there's those times, maybe one out of 10, where [you think], Yo, that's a cool dude – and he was one of those dudes" he said. 

Diggs said that Walker's legacy will never be forgotten, and he will always be remembered through his on screen work.

"One thing about film that's incredibly beautiful is that it does preserve the image – it kinda does [have] its own immortality" he said. 

"People can go back and look at you and see you. If there's something about you that they love, they can at least turn that film on and see that. And that's something I think that's magical about movie making."
