Vin Diesel couldn’t help but shed a few tears as the credits rolled on the special midnight screening of “The Fast and the Furious” at Cannes. It was enough that the festival considered the high-octane racing movie a “classic” after all these years. But, the emotion was heightened by watching his bond with the late Paul Walker form on the big screen.

Diesel wasn’t alone in his emotion — his co-stars Jordana Brewster and Michelle Rodriguez and Walker’s 27-year-old daughter, Meadow, all wiped tears away as the sold-out crowd gave them an extended standing ovation.
