A Hollywood Walk of Fame star will be dedicated to the late Paul Walker in 2023.
“The Fast and the Furious” actor’s star comes 10 years after his death – he died in a car crash in 2013.
Walker’s star is one of three posthumous awards being granted next year; the late Imitation of Life actress Juanita Moore and singer-songwriter Jenni Rivera will be honored with their own Hollywood Walk of Fame stars as well.
Walker’s “Fast and Furious” franchise co-star Ludacris is also among those who has been selected to receive a star.
