He is a Blue Collar worker, and he's been working in the auto industry for more than 45 years. Prior to getting in the auto industry, he was drafted in the Vietnam War. In 1968, he was captured by the Vietnamese when he was shot in the leg and held captive as a prisoner of war until 1971, when he made an escape. He endured physically and psychologically torturous episodes where he was beaten on a daily basis. Paul refused to give any anti-U.S. propaganda, which would've prevented any further beating. After refusing, Paul, in a white jumpsuit, entered a white cell, with no windows, and was only given white rice to eat, on a white paper plate. Because of this, Paul developed PTSD. Eventually, he escaped when guards were not being as cautious as they usually were. He and three other soldiers hijacked a plane and flew to the United States. When he returned, he was attacked by an angry mob who disapproved of the war. Paul later attempted suicide.

He felt at home when he was designing automobiles (although he would not design planes due to memories of the war), and he seemed to feel a lot better around his buddies. Paul met Patricia Lyle, a beautiful 26-year old college graduate at a bar one night with his buddies and the two exchanged numbers. After eight months of dating, Paul proposed to her in November 1977, to which Patricia accepted. In January 1980, four months after getting married, Patricia was pregnant with twins, Paul Walker Bush Jr. and Jennifer Bush were born on October 9, 1980. Paul would continue to help his brother out with the auto industry until his brother died due to cancer in 1990. Paul then lead the auto company for the next 25 years. In 1991, Patricia gave birth to Paul's daughter, Sophie. Paul has one grandson, 9-year old Grant, who is Paul Jr.'s son.

He has flashbacks of his experience as a POW a lot, and he credits his wife of 38 years for helping him with his PTSD. Paul wants to win the money for his children and for his grandchild.

I'm a believer in picking on someone your own size, and it's cowardly to me if you bully someone who can't defend themselves.

He's only nine, but he's got his whole life ahead of him, y'know. I would love nothing more than to win the game for him so it can help him with college and help him find his future job. In addition, imagine all the people who would be looking at me and being like "a 70-year old won ​Survivor​?! How the hell did that happen?!" (​laughing) I consider myself a rather socially adaptable guy. I'm known to crack a lot of jokes, which can help out here considering the very tense climate and tension between people. I'm not planning to pick any fights with people, and I want to just, y'know, prove that just because you're a little bit older, you're still as capable of doing what you did before. Age is a number, mine is just a little bit higher than others.
