I grew up loving the scent of Cool Water. It's fresh, masculine and above all, cool. So it's no surprise to learn that Paul Walker pretty much embodies all of those traits with a sense of effortlessness and grounded-ness that's both uncanny and refreshing. And it's not solely due to his good looks either. Yes, he's tall, lean, has a chiseled movie star face and a mega watt smile. But that's just dwelling on the obvious. During our twenty minute interview, we discussed a plethora of different topics ranging from his childhood in Santa Barbara, his passion for marine life, and his close to his heart charity. At the end of our interview, I realized that his embodiment of the essence of Cool Water comes from his warm laughter, generous heart, and the fact that instead of just talking the talk (as is the case with many celebs these days) he sprints into action whenever action is needed. Now that's the power of cool.
