In an old interview, the Dom Toretto actor credited Paul Walker for the casting of John Cena in the franchise,
“That day, I posted on Instagram, without talking to anyone, a video of him and me and I said, ‘thank you Pablo.’ Because at that moment, I thought, my brother Pablo [Paul Walker] had sent him [John Cen} to play Jakob.”
