Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson's rant last Aug. 8 prompted him and Vin Diesel to secretly meet and talk about the incident. It can be recalled that just this week, the former WWE wrestler expressed his dismay over his male co-workers through an Instagram post.
The "Fast and Furious" star said some of his male co-actors got his blood boiling for acting unprofessionaly while they were shooting "Fast 8." He pointed out although some of them acted like stunt men, others conveyed a manner as if they are wearing "candy asses."
Although the 44-year old actor did not specify who he is talking about, several speculations surfaced pointing it could be among Diesel, who has been with the franchise ever since, Scott Eastwood who is just a new-comer, or Jason Statham who just joined the film series a couple of years ago, The Sun reported.
The former wrestler expressed his relief after the filming concluded a few days ago. He mentioned that his female co-stars like Charlize Theron and Michelle Rodriguez acted professionally, but also expressed disgust among some male actors who are "too chicken."
In one of the fighting scene videos, Johnson shared, "An incredible hard working crew. Universal Studios Entertainment has been great partners as well." His succeeding statements mentioned the upcoming installment will play really well and he is happy as a producer.
But just a few days after, Johnson reportedly met with Diesel on Tuesday at Atlanta to discuss the incident, US Magazine reported. The wrestler later on clarified through another Instagram post how much he believes in team effort by respecting each individual and the time they have given for a project.
He went on saying that a team also represents a family who normally undergoes through some conflicts. He further said each member is expected to have their own opinions which could bring differences among the circle. He then concluded his statement by saying he was raised by a "healthy conflict" and is open to welcome any.
"Fast 8" will premiere in United Kingdom cinemas on April 14, 2017. For other details surrounding the said rumor, watch the video below.
