Tyrese is a beloved pillar of the Fast and Furious franchise. He first appeared in 2003's 2 Fast 2 Furious and became a franchise staple from 2011's Fast Five onwards. While there has never been any evidence that Tyrese had beef with late co-star Paul Walker, Walker has been a part of the franchise he has been unable to shake. In late March, Tyrese's on-and-off girlfriend Zelie Timothy revealed that she was more into Paul Walker when they first met.
But now it seems that it is Tyrese's turn to drop some bombshells about Walker, who passed away in 2013. Like Timothy, Tyrese had something of a relationship-related anecdote to share when he appeared on The Morning Hustle. However, Tyrese's story is much more salacious and revealed that he shared an unusual bond with Walker, while also confirming a near-decade-old claim.
"We Were Smashing The Same Girl" Tyrese Claims
During his conversation on The Morning Hustle, Tyrese revealed that during the filming of 2 Fast 2 Furious, he and Paul Walker were sleeping with the same woman. The woman in question was Eve Mendes' stunt double, Cindy Leon. “She’s a beautiful girl,” he said, “and me and Paul were smashing the same girl on the set of 2 Fast 2 Furious and didn’t even know it". Tyrese also referred to a 2015 interview that Leon gave in which she confirmed that she had slept with both actors. According to Leon, Tyrese was "sexy and freaky" while Walker was "sweet and loving".
According to Tyrese, he eventually told Walker that they were both sleeping with Leon. “And then we told each other. He was like, ‘Yeah?’ I was like, ‘Yeah…". The actor and musician also noted that even after finding out, neither of them stopped sleeping with Leon. However, he was critical of Leon's 2015 interview, calling out her "goofy ass" for "letting the whole world know". The amusing set story did not seem to affect the relationship between the co-stars. Tyrese would appear alongside Walker in Fast Five as well as the 2018 documentary I Am Paul Walker. However, the interview did confirm a long-standing claim about a deeper connection between the two co-stars.
