Vin Diesel choked back tears while accepting the People’s Choice Award for Favorite Movie for Furious 7 at the 2016 People’s Choice Awards, saying:

On regards to proceeding with the production of Furious 7 after Paul Walker’s tragic death in 2013, Vin Diesel went on to say:
“It was a labor of love, my only message to you is: you’d be amazed what you can do with love. You’d be amazed how powerful of a force that is.
