Check out the Paul Walker gallery
Star of The Fast and The Furious, Paul Walker hit our screens last week in Into the Blue as a diver who finds himself in more than deep water when he discovers buried treasure belonging to a drug lord.
Hopefully he’ll be wearing tight little speedos because he’s no prude when it comes to showing off his perfect bod. You get to see exactly what Paul has to offer in one of his previous films, called Joy Ride, when he has a caffeine fix in a public restaurant – stark naked!
“I’m a thrill junkie,” says Paul, and Totty Watch is extremely glad to hear it because we feel it’s time for a fast and furious low-down on the All-American Adonis that is Paul Walker.
Name
Paul William Walker IV
Vitals
Born on 12 September 1973, California, USA.
Famous For
Paul should win an award for the actor with the most roles in suggestively titled films. One of his first acting roles was in a TV sitcom called Throb and he followed that with guest appearances in television shows Highway to Heaven, Charles in Charge and Growing Pains before topping them all with the horror spoof Monster in the Closet when he was only 13 - just the right age for him to come out of it if he was ever going to we reckon, but alas that was not to be.
After a stint studying marine biology he went back to acting and joined the cast of a soap opera called The Young and the Restless that had, ironically, been running for 30 years. Then came Tammy and the T-Rex and Meet the Deedels.
Unbelievably, he’s currently producing a film out next year called Bottom’s Up. Talk about chasing an innuendo, you couldn’t make it up if you tried. With a CV like that you’d think he was a porn star, or was that just wishful thinking on Totty Watch’s part?
After his snog with Reese Witherspoon in Pleasantville Paul became an established heartthrob and went on to star in forgettable teen flicks Varsity Blues and She’s All That – a loose regurgitation of Pygmalion in which Paul bets his best friend Freddie Prinze Jr. that he won’t be able to transform geeky Rachel Leigh Cook from pig ugly duckling to gorgeous swan in time for the school prom.
Only a blind person could think Leigh Cook was unattractive and, shock horror, with the help of some contact lenses and a new hair-do she’s a page three stunner by the end of the film.
A love of extreme sports gave Paul the edge for his next film – the drag-racing drama The Fast and The Furious. Paul played an undercover cop assigned to infiltrate Vin Diesel’s gang of hi-tech criminals - and before you get any ideas, a drag race is when two pumped up vehicles race a short distance, usually a quarter of a mile. NOT two men wearing unsuitable heels running for the number 38.
A Fast Homoerotic Dream?
Follow-up film 2 Fast 2 Furious was a homoerotic wet dream and saw Paul co-lead opposite singer-turned-actor Tyrese Gibson. The super cheesy sequel grossed more at the box office than its predecessor despite lacking fuel with the absence of Diesel [groan, Ed.]. The monosyllabic star managed to string enough words together to ask for a $20 million fee to reprise his role as Domenic Toretto, but was told he’d have to fill up his gas tank with someone else’s money [double groan, Ed.].
2 Fast 2 Furious didn’t go short on muscle power though and Paul felt a bit overshadowed by Tyrese’s bulging biceps. He told BBC Films, “He needs to do whatever he can to one-up me, so I figured if I had muscles it just wouldn't be fair to him – he wouldn’t have a chance! So I let him win the muscle category! But I’ve told him that if we do a third one, I’m going to come back bigger. I’m going to start lifting weights. So he’s going to have to pull something else out of his bag of tricks!” Wey-hey! See you at the cinema Paul.
Worth Knowing
As a baby he modelled nappies for Pampers.
Paul told USA Weekend.com, “So Tyrese is walking around with his chest all puffy, and it was pissing me off… that's when I started spanking everybody.” Is that an extra on the DVD?
Paul turned down the role of the new Superman because he didn’t want to commit to one project for seven years. Totty Watch doesn’t need that long, just a few hours would do the trick.
Paul’s favourite sports are snowboarding, surfing, skiing, snorkelling, sailboarding, sailing, shooting, and soccer. What about shagging?!
Availability
As far as we know Paul’s currently single, but was spotted looking “cosy” with Fantastic Four sexpot and Into the Blue co-star Jessica Alba at a Radiohead concert recently. After an evening listening to morbid lyrics from songs like ‘Paranoid Android’, ‘My Iron Lung’ and ‘Climbing up the Walls’, he was probably trying to stop Jessica from slitting her wrists and not canoodling at all.
