So, who is Paul Walker anyway?
If you don't already know,  you soon will! Here's 10 fab facts about one very gorgeous guy. By Sara Graham

1. Perve-worthy Paul stars alongside Josh Jackson this month in the freaky thriller The Skulls. And apparently the two are pretty chummy. But that's not the case with She's All That co-star Freddie Prinze Jr. "I don't click with Freddie at first," he admits candidly. "But we got along."

2. Paul plays Caleb in The Skulls, but the idea was a bit strange. Why? That's his bro's name! He also has another brother named Codie, and a sister named Ashlie.

3. Beach-gals will be psyched to know that Paul's a bit of a beach babe himself. Surfing is his favourite pastime.

4. Not that we're complaining, but Paul never even wanted to act. He always thought it was "like a weird career in La-La Land." We're glad he changed his mind!

5. Strangely enough (since Paul is SO ugly, right?), Paul started out his career as a very young model. But his parents encouraged him to get into acting. Lucky!

6. When Paul was featured in American Cosmopolitan magazine, his friends thought it was so funny that they photocopied his picture and taped it to his mirror. Then they wrote "I love Paul" in lipstick!1111

7. While the babe loves acting to the core, he can't quite handle watching himself on the big screen. "When my scenes come up I close my eyes," he says. "It's so painful!"

8. Paul proves even stars get, well, stars in their eyes. "If ever I was star-struck, it was by Claire Danes," he admits, of the gorgeous girl he starred in Brokedown Palace with. "And she really must have sensed all my nervousness, 'cos she set me at ease with her calm vibe."

9. What's the stars for the star? Who knows? But we do know that he's a Virgo. That makes him practical and responsible, with perfectionist qualifies. Sigh!

10. Fast facts - Paul is 26 (born September 12, 1973), lives in LA, loves snowboarding, snorkelling, sailboarding, sailing and soccer, and for those of you wondering (yes, you!), appears to be completely girlfriendless!
