The Fast and the Furious cast is a family offscreen, too.

Paul Walker's daughter Meadow walked the Fast X red carpet with her godfather Vin Diesel at the movie's premiere in Rome, Italy, held at the Colosseum.

The two posed for pictures, hugging and smiling for the camera in front of the Colosseum, which was bathed in sunlight behind them.

Meadow wore a jacket-like satin green-blue blouse paired with a lacey black see-through skirt with floral designs. Diesel went for a black suit with an intricate pattern, paired with a matching black tee and sunglasses.

Meadow also brought along her husband, Louis Thornton-Allan, as her date, whom she married in 2021.

Meadow makes her Fast and Furious debut with a cameo in Fast X, officially welcoming her into the Fast family. She spoke to Entertainment Tonight on the red carpet, explaining why she waited until the 10th movie to appear in the franchise.

"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," Meadow said. "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."

She also shared a still from the scene on Instagram, showing that she plays a flight attendant in the flick. In the post's caption, she noted how emotional it was to join the Fast and the Furious franchise in honor of her dad.

"The first fast was released when I was one year old! I grew up on set watching my father, Vin, Jordana, Michelle, Chris and more on the monitors. Thanks to my dad, I was born into the fast family. I can't believe now I get to be up there too," she wrote.

Meadow added, "With those who have been around to see me grow up. Thank you @louisleterrierpro for your kindness, patience and support. It feels like you’ve been part of the family since we started, I’m happy it’s just the beginning. Special shoutout to my dad’s best friend who is now my best friend @bbirtell, this wouldn’t have been possible without you. I am so blessed to be able to honor my father’s legacy and share this with him forever x."
