9. He’s Driven by His Emotions
Brian has proven in the movies that he is driven mostly by his emotions. The decisions he makes are all emotion based which isn’t always the best way to make decisions as it can often get you in hot water. The whole franchise is based on the boys getting in hot water and then having to find a way out of it. Neither of the men really think about their actions before they jump into things because it’s all based off of their protective natures and their emotions. Brian was raised by a single mother, so he has no real sense of what a family unit is supposed to be like. The fact that he left the police force and joined Dominic’s crew was all based on feeling, not necessarily because it was the right thing to do. But his emotion-driven personality is what made him the perfect partner for Dominic.
8. Brian O’Conner May Show Up in Fast 8
Entertainment Tonight interviewed Paul Walker’s brother Caleb to determine if he would be reprising his role as Brian O’Conner in Fast 8. He took over the role of Brian O’Conner after his brother died. Caleb stated, “I had a phone call with Vin [Diesel] for about an hour, and we really discussed this a while back. He wanted [our] blessing,” Caleb said, adding that Diesel asked if and when they thought it “would be acceptable to maybe bring Paul’s character back… to really kind of let his fans know he’s still out there. Universal wants to make sure to be respectful of Paul and his image too, and his family.” They are trying to do the right thing to honor Paul, but many people believe the character should be laid to rest now that Paul is gone. They are planning on three more movies, and it’s likely that Brian may continue to pop up throughout.
