Rumors have recently been going on that stars Dwayne Johnson and Vin Diesel are not in good terms while shooting on set.
Dwayne Johnson AKA the Rock from WWE fame and Vin Diesel's name has been dragged in the headlines in recent weeks. It was reported that the two burly movie stars had some sort of professional falling out. But this real life animosity between the "Fast 8" co-stars may turn out to not be real at all.
The feud started when Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson posted some cryptic messages on his Instagram page which labels one of his male "Fast 8" co-stars in a really unflattering light. Calling the then mystery man with rather some vulgar and insulting words. The following days a lot of rumors surfaced that the recipient of those insults is none other than Vin Diesel.
Since The Rock is a known stand up guy in the movie industry some people have speculated that this could be just a promotion to WWE's Wrestlemania that will take place in Orlando on April 7, 2017, which is suspiciously a date very near to the release of Fast 8.
According to Life Style Magazine, an insider told them that although Johnson and Vin Diesel really had a misunderstanding on the set of the movie, the feud was overblown to create a media stunt to form a match between the two for Wrestlemania 33 to promote the Fast 8 movie.
"They are playing a huge prank, and it's all for publicity," the insider revealed. The insider further details that it was Johnson himself who convinced Vin to intensify their beef so that they can help further promote the film.
If this is all true, then Vin Diesel was just smelling what The Rock is cooking. And it is beginning to smell like a wonderful Wrestlemania in 2017.
