I find it oddly touching and extremely genuine, which is probably why it can be difficult for some people to view. I don't know if that's what you're getting at, but he's been up front about emotions that a lot of people keep private.

I actually like him better for this, tbh. Grief and recovery are natural things and I don't think it's healthy for it to get hidden away or drugged or told to get over it.

But it can still be hard to watch.

but he's been up front about emotions that a lot of people keep private.

I don't even follow Vin closely, but I appreciate this about him. While I understand everyone reacts to death differently, it's kind of nice seeing someone who's open to talking about it. So many people hide it all away and almost refuse to even acknowledge it to others because it's such a tough subject (which, hey, I get), but Vin seems determined to face it and to remember Paul, which is sweet.

Hell, I'm just some random person who liked Paul's films and if I think about him for too long I start to get weepy, so I can't imagine how difficult it would be to talk at length about someone you knew personally in front of the whole world. Of course it's kind of uncomfortable.

Yeah, I think it's pretty inspiring to see someone who can openly acknowledge it. My family and I still have a hard time talking about my dads death.

[elaminator]

I'm sorry, anon. :(

That's an extremely common feeling. I don't think I would deal with death half as well as Vin has.

[(Anonymous)]

knowing what his real body looks like is the thing that makes me uncomfortable and want to change the channel.

[(Anonymous)]

Every time? Like, he isn't always talking about Paul Walker.

Vin <3

He doesn't really have the luxury of being out of the public eye for as long as it will take him to get over Paul, I think.

They were best friends. I know if something like that happened to me and I do interviews about it and be asked questions about things that heavily involved them, I don't think I'd be handling it nearly as well as Vin is.

[(Anonymous)]

Well. Yes. Grief is uncomfortable.

[(Anonymous)]

It's uncomfortable to see him so upset, yes. I never even watched the movies or was really a huge fan of Paul's but, damn, I'm still terribly sad that he died. He was so young... so much lost potential... Death just sucks in general.

[(Anonymous)]

I look at Vin and think how refreshing it is to see someone on TV openly grieving and not giving a damn. I admire him. He's a stand up guy.

It's interesting how uncomfortable grief makes most people. When my mom was dying people would ask me how she was doing or how I was holding up, but they didn't really want me to answer truthfully, I discovered, because if I did, they would get this expression like I pissed in their cornflakes. I learned pretty quickly to just say, "Oh, fine," and keep the truth to myself. It took her three years to die, like a long, slow train wreck. I have never felt so isolated in my entire life.

Not sure how he could grieve for a paedo.
