Family should always celebrate family, and the cast of Fast and Furious makes sure to do just that, especially when it's one of their co-stars’ birthdays. In September, the celebration gets turned up to eleven, because two of the actors in this car-centric saga have birthdays one day apart. So, to show some love for Ludacris and Paul Walker, the family, including the late actor’s daughter Meadow Walker, honored them on social media, and it's all so sweet.
For context, Ludacris’ birthday is on September 11 and Paul Walker’s is on September 12. So, in honor of their neighboring days, the family took to social media to celebrate.

Meadow Walker Honored Her Father Paul Walker For His Birthday
The day after Ludacris’ birthday is Paul Walker’s big day, and this year would have marked his 50th birthday. To honor her late father, and the beloved franchise he helped pioneer, Meadow Walker took to Instagram to post about the actor behind Brian.
Meadow was only 1 year old when The Fast and The Furious was released, however, she’s always been clear about the love she has for the franchise and her father’s role in it. She even had a little cameo in Fast X that was a sweet nod to her dad.
Late last year, on the anniversary of his death Diesel shared a sweet tribute for his on-screen partner in crime. The Dom actor and Ludacris had a sweet exchange on Meadow’s birthday last year too. Also, Paul Walker’s and Brian’s legacy is still felt in the Fast and Furious movies. So, the actor is still very much a big part of the family.
