‘Within the family, he went by ‘little Paul’ or ‘Paul 4,’ even though he quickly outgrew our father in height. It was important to me to have that name carry on,’

Meadow recently made a cameo in the recently released Fast X. She shared a post on Instagram expressing how thankful she was ‘‘to be able to honor my father’s legacy and share this with him forever.”

She later said in an interview with ET,

“I’ve always thought about honoring my dad [in a Fast film] just because it’s such a big part of his life and my life,”
“But I was waiting for the right moment. I wanted it to be something super small and simple that was almost like an Easter egg. Like, if you didn’t know who I was, you wouldn’t even notice it. I know that’s what my dad would want. My dad was always humble, very simple. I left my little mark and I can always share that with him.”
