Meadow Walker, the only daughter of late actor Paul Walker, is following in her father’s footsteps by making a cameo in the upcoming Fast and Furious movie, Fast X. The 22-year-old actress shared a preview of her appearance on Thursday on her Instagram, expressing her excitement and gratitude towards the film's director, Louis Leterrier, TMZ reports. Meadow explained how she grew up watching her father, Vin Diesel, Jordana Brewster, Michelle Rodriguez, Ludacris, and other actors on the monitors during the filming of the franchise’s first movie, which came out when she was just one year old.

Meadow Walker’s inclusion in the upcoming film is especially poignant as it pays tribute to her father, who played the character of Brian O’Conner in the franchise. O’Conner played an undercover cop turned outlaw, and ended up becoming one of the most beloved characters of the Fast and Furious series. Meadow’s participation in the movie is a touching moment for fans who have followed the franchise and its tribute to Paul Walker since his untimely death in a car accident in 2013.
