Fast and Furious 11: Dom and Brian O'Conner together? Vin Diesel drops major hint about Paul Walker's character

It has been almost three years since Paul Walker passed away but the &quot;Fast &amp; Furious&quot; actor is always at the forefront of his co-star and good friend Vin Diesel&#39;s mind. 
 
Amid the drama surrounding Dwayne &#39;The Rock&#39; Johnson&#39;s &quot;Fast 8&quot; rant, Diesel took to Instagram to share an emotional anecdote about the late actor, reported Daily Mirror. 
 
&quot;My son earlier this morning, we were going over his birthday list, and he said, &#39;I want Paul to come,&#39;&quot; an emotional Diesel recalled. 
 
&quot;And then he said, &#39;I really miss him.&#39; Paul came to his second birthday in London while we were shooting &#39;Fast 6&#39;.&quot; 
 
It comes after the 49-year-old actor-and-producer promised fans that he will reveal &quot;everything&quot; following The Rock&#39;s Facebook outburst about an unprofessional co-star, widely thought to be Diesel. 
 
&quot;After being on set since literally Christmas and to finally come home and learn that your little angel learned a new word. I have to share it with you, it is more important than anything,&quot; he says in a video. 
 
&quot;Her new word kind of describes my spirit and soul and most people who stay positive. The new word is &#39;happy&#39;. When I heard her say happy I just lit up in ways that I can&#39;t describe.&quot; 
 
He then finished it off with this cryptic line: &quot;Just give me a second and I will tell you everything. Everything.&quot; 
 
While alongside the video, he wrote: &quot;So much has gone on this year. I can&#39;t believe I wrapped two back to back pictures I both starred in and produced. Now, I get to return to my family, my life... To me.&quot;&nbsp;
