It very much appears that Vin Diesel is like a second father to Meadow Walker, whom he walked down the aisle when she tied the knot recently.

Earlier this week, the late Paul Walker's daughter Meadow shared a series of beautiful photos from her wedding to actor Louis Thornton-Allan.

The model, 22, and her new husband said their vows at an intimate ceremony, which saw her walk down the aisle alongside her father's best friend, Vin Diesel.

The Fast and Furious star died in a car crash back in 2013 when Meadow was just 15 years old.

It's been the best part of a decade since Paul died, and it appears Vin Diesel's fatherly relationship with Meadow, his goddaughter, has not waned.

In fact, during an interview that the actor did with ExtraTV this past summer, the 54-year-old said that family is not exclusive to blood relatives. Meadow, he said at the time, always reaches out to him on Father's Day.

Back in June, the actor was asked about how he takes care of the young model.

Laughing, he responded: "She takes good care of me!"

He added: "She's the first person on Father's Day to wish me a happy Father's Day."

Vin Diesel then said that he appreciates seeing Meadow play with his daughter Pauline, who was named after his late friend.

He continued: "To see her with my children is one of the most beautiful things. There are moments when I see her playing with Pauline, and it will hit me so deep because I can only imagine what my brother's seeing when he sees that.

"I feel very protective. It goes beyond the movie. The whole point of the Fast and Furious saga is the idea that brotherhood can be created by bond and not necessarily blood."

In a different interview with TODAY, Vin Diesel said of the family-like atmosphere on set: "That's ultimately what the true blessing is, work with people that you love. I believe, at the end of the day, people come to Fast because the characters, we want to know what happens next. We want to know how they evolve."

When host Natalie Morales remarked that Walker was "never forgotten" in the popular franchise, Vin Diesel agreed, saying: "Ever, ever, ever."

He continued: "I never think I'm continuing the franchise in his absence. I always feel like I'm continuing the franchise in his honor."
