Paul Walkers Brother To Replace Him In Fast And Furious.

Brotherly love: Paul Walker and his youngest brother Cody, 25, give a toast at their brother Caleb's wedding to Stephanie Branch in October
                                                         Cody and Paul Walker.
Paul Walker's younger, lookalike brother has been asked to step in for him to film the final scenes for Fast & The Furious 7, it emerged today. The 40-year-old star was on a break from filming at the time of his death in a shocking car crash two weeks ago. And in a poignant tribute to the star, MailOnline can reveal Cody Walker, 25, who has worked as a movie stuntman, is set to take his place in the latest installment of the hit franchise. A source close to production said today:
'Producers had a string of meetings right after Paul's death. 'They soon realized they needed someone who looked like Paul to finish the movie and that's when they approached his nearly identical brother, Cody.' Cody, who lives in Oregon, has been staying with his mother Cheryl in Los Angeles and helping to comfort her since his brother's death, and the source added: 'They can shoot Cody from behind and at distance and if it's a shot they need Paul's face in close up they can CGI it later on. If Cody agrees it's because he wants to honor his brother's memory. There are many details that still need to be worked out, but right now the family and cast and crew are all still grieving.' In addition to this, Universal have also made it clear they will work with the Walker family and take their guidance on a fitting exit for Paul's Fast & Furious character, Brian O'Connor, according to the source.
