7. Eminem Could Have Been Cast as Brian O’Conner
Paul Walker wasn’t the first choice for the role of Brian O’Conner; in fact, there was a long line of actors who were considered for the role. It’s a role that Paul Walker has been in for years, and up until his death, he did well in the role. At this point, it’s hard to believe that anyone else could be in that role. Christian Bale, Mark Wahlberg, and even Eminem were all considered for the role of Brian O’Conner. There was no way Christian would have been able to pull off the role; it shouldn’t have even been a consideration. Eminem could have been cool because he knows how to play a rough character but in the end, the right person was chosen for the job, and we got what we wanted. It was a sad day when we lost Paul, and no one can take his place.
6. He Has Some Serious Skills
One great thing about being part of the police force and the FBI is that it left Brian with some serious skills for his life of crime. While Brian was with the Los Angeles Police Department and the FBI, he was trained on weapons which included melee weapons and firearms. That can come in use when it comes to stealing cars. Brian may be an easy going guy, but he’s also sharp as a knife. He has great instincts when it comes to hand to hand contact. Look how well he handled himself with Vince and was able to get the upper hand with Braga. Not to mention the fact that he took down a skilled martial artist in Kiet. The one person that he had trouble taking down was Dominic; if you remember the first time he encountered Dominic, he tossed him on a car with very little effort. They also had a second fight in which Brian was beaten badly.
