Miley Cyrus: Elvis Presley twerked
Bosses at MTV have decided to honor late actor Paul Walker at the 2014 MTV Movie Awards this weekend.
Los Angeles Times reports that Walker, who tragically lost his life in a car crash last year, will be remembered in a tribute segment.
Stephen Friedman, MTV president, said: “Paul Walker was a role model for the MTV audience since the very beginning of his too-short career. Our audience grew up with him, from Varsity Blues to the Furious franchise. He was a movie star but one that they could relate to. Paul’s humanity and kindness clearly showed through every role.
“We’re honored to be able to spend a moment in this year’s Movie Awards to celebrate him.”
Speaking to The Associated Press, MTV Movie Awards executive producer Garrett English said: “Well, I think we are just really happy and honored that they were willing to allow us to celebrate him in some way on the show. And his family and friends were willing to have that happen.
“He’s been such a big part of the channel, what the channel’s audience has been about. He’s been such a big part of our show in the past that it felt really right to us, and we’re just really happy and honored that they were willing to allow us to do something for him on the show.”
It was really a Nice and Thoughtful way of remembering an incredible and kind human being ….people now will know what a humble person he was to everyone around him and thank you MTV for making that happen ’cause it really means a lot for his family, friends and his biggest fans who adored him with all his being and good will he had to offer while he was with us.
RIP Angel Walker May you will always be remembered with your amazing qualities.
