Walker was one of the film’s key performers, portraying Brian O’Conner from 2001 until his death in a vehicle accident in 2013.

Davidson made light of Walker’s death during his performance at Justin Bieber’s Comedy Central roast two years later.

“Justin was busted for drag racing last year… Sadly, it wasn’t with Paul Walker….. What? He’s doing fantastic! He has a film coming out, “he remarked.

“The actors and crew are very close and protective of one another. They don’t think it’s appropriate following his slanderous remarks regarding Paul’s death.

“Some would prefer that Pete not appear in the film at all, but at the very least that he publicly apologise.”
