“Furious 7” star Vin Diesel shared a touching new photo of himself snuggling with his nearly 5-month-old daughter Pauline on his Instagram on Monday.
Captioned, “All love,” the pictured showed the 48-year-old actor kissing his baby girl’s chest while she grabbed at his ears with her small hands.
Less than a day after the actor posted the latest picture of his daughter to Instagram, the photo had been “liked” more than 400,000 times and received nearly 3,400 comments.
Diesel’s daughter was born in mid-March, and he announced a short time after that she had been named after the late Paul Walker, his friend and “The Fast and the Furious” film franchise co-star.
“It felt like, you know, a way to keep his memory a part of my family and a part of my world,” he said at the time.
Diesel added that he felt Walker’s presence in the delivery room when Pauline was born. Walker was 40 years old when he was killed in a car crash in Valencia in November 2013.
“There’s no other person that I was thinking about as I was cutting this umbilical cord,” Diesel said. “I just … knew he was there.”
