There's no hiding the fact that "Fast and Furious 7" star Vin Diesel was devastated after the death of his dear friend Paul Walker.

Just recently, reports have surfaced talking about how Diesel was "uncomfortable" to be with on the set of their latest movie.

The actor was allegedly iffy with the idea of having the dead Paul Walker digitally added to some parts of the movie, saying:

"The whole crew has had to adjust to this awkward and uncomfortable process of pixels over people. Aside from the obvious strains it places on the director, the challenge is not to allow it to compromise what makes the character so special."

Diesel tried to explain that Walker was very involved in the decision making process.

"There wasn't a scene in the saga he didn't want to discuss, improve... even with just a changing of a line or adding a specific nuance to enrich a moment."

"He did it with the pride of knowing, that over a decade of portraying Brian, through four directors, multiple writers and new producers he was able to maintain the inner core of the character he created. Those work ethics and drive to be both truthful, and in his own way, evolve the decade spanning character is what made his character as iconic as it has become," Diesel added.

The movie proved to be very emotional for Diesel and for the others, but this didn't stop the whole crew from finishing the movie with a bang.

In fact, the new action packed movie will have an earlier release date- April 3, a week ahead of the original April 10 release date.

Directed by James Wan, "Fast and Furious 7" stars Vin Diesel, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, Michelle Rodriguez, Elsa Pataky, and the late Paul Walker.
