"Right now, a whole lot of time has not gone by yet," Cody said. "It still doesn't feel real, because sometimes, working in this industry, making films, he'd be away from his family three, four, six months at a time, you know. And my only interaction would be a phone call. So, I know it's going to take a while."
Cody refused to divulge anything about his role in the film as he was not allowed to give away any details. But he did talk at length about his brother and a facet of him which fans weren't familiar with.

"Paul had been training in martial arts for many, many years. Brazilian jujitsu was his choice," Cody said. "Everyone's so used to seeing Paul behind (the wheel of) a car all the time, and not really seeing that part of him."
He ended the conversation on a bittersweet note.

"Anyone that's ever met Paul ..." he said. "He would tell me how jealous of me he was because I still had my anonymity. And he's like, 'I can't just go to the movies. I can't catch the films I want to see. You've still got that, man.' And here he is, talking. It was just so funny to hear that come from him."
Walker died on Nov. 30 in a car crash in Santa Clarita, Calif. He was the passenger in a car being driven by his friend, race car driver Roger Rodas, who also died in the accident. The speeding car hit a tree and instantly burst into flames, causing both the actor and Rodas to die on the spot. The actor was headed home after attending a charity event for his foundation, Reach Out Worldwide.
Walker is survived by his 15-year-old daughter, Meadow.
