Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson only agreed to appear in The Fate of the Furious if he didn’t have to share scenes with Vin Diesel.
The two stars have reportedly butted heads while working on the Fast and the Furious franchise and The Rock revealed he did what he could do avoid any “drama” during the making of the 2017 film.
He said: “I wanted to forgo drama.
“I thought that was the best thing to do. For everybody.”
In 2016, the 49-year-old star sparked speculation when he complained about the professionalism of some of his male co-stars on the franchise on Instagram and branded them “candy a**es” and he’s now claimed he received a lot of support from the crew after the rant.
He told Vanity Fair magazine: “[It was] as if every single crew member found their way to me and either quietly thanked me or sent me a note.”
He insisted “nothing specific happened” that made Dwayne speak out, but said he and Vin went on to have a meeting in his trailer to address the post, and they agreed to disagree because they are “philosophically two different people”.
A few months ago, 53-year-old Vin claimed he had given his co-star “tough love” to improve his performance in the movies.
He said: “I give a lot of tough love.
“Not Felliniesque, but I would do anything I’d have to do in order to get performances in anything I’m producing.”
And the former WWE actor branded his co-star’s claims “bulls***” and admitted he “laughed hard” when he read the remarks.
He said: “One part of me feels like there’s no way I would dignify any of that bulls*** with an answer.
“I’ve been around the block a lot.”
