The Fast & Furious alum has built an incredible career beyond the franchise, leading blockbusters and superhero movies. With the live-action Snow White remake hitting theaters soon, where the actress is in her wicked era as the Evil Queen, it’s clear her star is only continuing to rise—both on the sidewalk and in Hollywood.

Vin Diesel could not help but get emotional while celebrating his Fast & Furious co-star Gal Gadot as she received her Hollywood Walk of Fame star. The Fast & Furious series has always been about more than fast cars and explosions.

Gal Gadot thanked her Fast and Furious co-star Vin Diesel for taking a chance "on a complete unknown" during her speech on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on Tuesday. The Israeli actress made her movie debut in the fourth Fast and Furious movie in 2009 and reprised the role of Gisele Yashar for the following two films in 2011 and 2013.
