The bad blood between 'Fast & Furious 8' stars Dwayne Johnson and Vin Diesel is getting more intense as the former publicly slams the latter on the final week of shooting the eighth installment of the said franchise.
“The Rock” created headlines on Monday when he posted an angry outburst about his “Fast 8” male co-stars on his Instagram account. In his post, the "Hercules" star expressed his frustration at how unprofessional some actors can act on set. “My male co-stars however are a different story. Some conduct themselves as stand-up men and true professionals, while others don't.”
No one on the set had a clue as to whom Johnson had a beef with until Tuesday when TMZ reported that his rant goes to his co-actor and the producer of “Fast 8” Vin Diesel.
This is strongly supported with claims that the pressure between Dwayne and Vin has been going on for months according to People. The report further elaborated that the tension began with the wrestling champ’s repeated tardiness on the making of the film, which disappointment the crew especially for Vin. For odd reasons, Vin Diesel has also been put on the chopping block for being late. Hence, Dwayne's seemingly frustrated post.
As both parties had a difficult time dealing with the tension causing a delay in the production of their latest movie, Johnson and Diesel reportedly cleared the air between them at the Atlanta set on Tuesday. No further details were released about the said meeting of the “Fast 8"stars.
Despite his nutty statements on social media, Johnson still managed to praise the rest of the team. “An incredible hard working crew. UNIVERSAL has been great partners as well. My female co-stars are always amazing and I love 'em.”
“Fast and Furious 8” is scheduled to be released on the big screens on April 14, 2017.
