Back in 2001, movies were changed forever when The Fast and the Furious hit theaters. Two years later, 2 Fast 2 Furious was released and saw the return of Paul Walker as Brian O’Conner, but Vin Diesel decided not to return as Dominic Torretto. Instead, the sequel saw Walker teaming up with Tyrese Gibson’s Roman Pearce. Years later, in 2011, Diesel and Tyrese appeared in their first movie of the franchise together, Fast Five. Both actors have appeared in all of the main Fast movies since and are currently working on Fast X. In honor of their collaborations, Diesel took to Instagram this week to share a tribute to his co-star.
