Tyrese & Vin Diesel Celebrates With Late Paul Walker Brothers At 'Fast 7' Wrap Party

On Saturday night, the cast and crew of Fast & Furious 7 came together for a well-deserved celebration as they toasted the film's long-awaited wrap with a party. With filming having been pushed back significantly following the untimely death of star Paul Walker back in November as producers figured out how to deal
with his beloved character Brian O'Conner's story arc, the latest instalment in the hugely successful franchise has finally reached completion.

Tyrese Gibson, who plays Roman Pearce and was a close friend of Paul's, took to Instagram to share several photos with fans as he shared a drink with director James Wan and Paul's lookalike brothers, Cody and Caleb Walker, who stood in for their sibling to help finish filming his scenes.

In a snap of Tyrese and 26-year-old Cody, who bears an uncanny resemblance to his big brother with his piercing blue eyes, genuine smile and blond mane, the 35-year-old actor and rapper gave
a shout out to his fallen comrade, whom he clearly still misses deeply.

'THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart, to all my cast & crew, for making it thru the toughest shoot of all our careers. Love you all so much': The cast and crew of Fast & Furious 7 came together for a group shot to mark the final day of production on July 10

'#Fast7 Wrap Party........ Emotional and bittersweet..... In the end you always got #Family @codyWalker Caleb Walker and Director Great.... James Wan......' he began.

'Through prayers and determination and moving forward inspired by my heart Paul Walker we got through..... The BEST CAST AND CREW IN THE WORLD.... The fans and supporters around the world... We LOVE YOU......'

'This one's for you P': Michelle Rodriguez shared a behind the scenes snap on Instagram on Thursday along with co-star Vin Diesel as she paid tribute to the pair's late, beloved co-star Paul Walker

He also made a special mention of Paul's 15-year-old daughter, Meadow, writing sweetly: 'I wanna dedicate this moment to my niece Meadow Walker.... Uncle Ty loves you..... April 3rd the were gonna unleash this magic on the world................ I miss you heart.... I miss you P-Dub!!!! (sic)'

His sentiment was also echoed by director James Wan, who wrapped principal photography in California on July 10.

'...and I (literally) just wrapped out my two main leads - Vin & Michelle': Director James Wan shared this photo on Twitter on Thursday after filming wrapped in California, writing, 'ThankU for this amazing, emotional journey'

'THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart, to all my cast & crew, for making it thru the toughest shoot of all our careers. Love you all so much,' he tweeted on Thursday. He then added on Saturday: 'Never had 3 wrap-parties for one movie before. But nice way to say thankyou and goodbye. #F7 (sic).'
While the film was originally slated for a 2014 release, having begun shooting in September 2013, Paul's shock death at the age of 40 in a car crash straight out of the movies saw it rescheduled for an April 10, 2015 premiere.
