Joshua was imprisoned.

Rebecca worked as a school teacher when she met Paul. They started dating in 1998 and a year later parted ways. But they remained closely knitted as both cared about their common daughter.

Paul’s ex-girlfriend was arrested twice for driving under influence. She had serious problems with alcohol. That’s why Walker moved his daughter Meadow from her mother’s home in Hawaii to California to live with him.

It was hard for Walker to care about his daughter as he was overloaded with his acting projects. That’s why he asked his mother Cheryl to take guardianship over his daughter just a couple of hours before his death.

Cheryl started a custody battle with Rebecca but agreed to refuse her court process if her son’s ex-girlfriend was sent for rehab.

Bio

Paul Walker passed away about 10 years ago, but many people from different parts of our planet still remember him as Brian O’Conner from the super popular franchise The Fast and the Furious franchise.

Fair-haired and blue-eyed actor, Paul Walker skillfully portrayed the charismatic Brain. He depicted the character, which had 2 faces. The first one was the face of the speed lover, who knew everything about turbo engines. The second one belonged to the conscientious policeman. He had a task to ingratiate himself with Dominic Toretto (Vin Diesel), the champion of illegal street racing. Dominic was suspected of a string of street robberies, done on four wheels.

Paul was born in the family of a fashion model (mother) and a sewer contractor (father). Walker had an upbringing as a Mormon. Being beautiful like an angel, Paul immediately became popular as a child model. He had participated in TV commercials since he was 2. He joined the career of a child model by getting academic education at Village Christian School.

Soon Paul’s commercials turned into tiny supportive roles. One of his first screen works was in the series “Highway to Heaven”, which became a real hit in the 1980s. The angel-like teen boy Paul appeared as Todd Bryant in the 6th episode of the 1st season.

He gained initial popularity as Skip from the fantasy comedy “Pleasantville”. In the film, Paul portrayed a bright handsome man who was deprived of his virginity by Reese Witherspoon‘s screen character. Later he acted in the teen comedy “She’s All That” before diving into the Fast and the Furious universe.

For many years Paul was an inseparable part of the films about street racers. The high speed made him rich and popular. Unfortunately, the high speed became the reason for his early death. Paul Walker died in a car accident in 2013. He was going in a car, driven by his friend Roger Rodas, when the latter one lost control of his Porsche Carrera.
