Are Vin Diesel and Dwayne Johnson feuding on the set of "Fast and Furious 8"? It appears that things have gone sour on the set of the hit action franchise, especially after Johnson took to his Instagram account to air out his thoughts.
Rumors of a crisis on set started when Johnson wrote a lengthy post on Instagram, detailing how he didn't get along with some of his male co-stars. "Some conduct themselves as stand up men and true professionals, while others don't. The ones that don't are too chicken s**t to do anything about it anyway. Candy asses," Johnson wrote, as quoted by News.com.au.
He also tipped fans that they might notice in the "Fast and Furious 8" movie that he's not acting anymore and that his "blood is legit boiling."
Reports suggest that Johnson is addressing Diesel in his post. It was said that both stars didn't quite see eye to eye ever since production for the movie began. Johnson allegedly lost his patience with Diesel, who reportedly showed up on set late and is known to have a very difficult attitude. As producer, Diesel also made decision that didn't quite sit well with Johnson.
It appears that the feud has escalated, with some of the "Fast and Furious 8" stars giving their two cents on the issue. Tyrese Gibson came to Diesel's defense. Through Instagram, Gibson captioned a photo with Diesel, "Our brotherhood and every moment has inspired me to be a better man and father."
According to People, Gibson also subtly addressed the feud, saying, he is "learning so much about sitting still and being centered in the [midst] of all of this unexpected energy."
Although Diesel has remained relatively quiet on the subject, he said that he's going to tell everything that went down in due time. "Just give me a second and I will tell you everything. Everything," Diesel said in a cryptic video posted on Instagram. Diesel just recently wrapped up production for the latest "xXx" movie, which he also co-produced.
"Fast and Furious 8" is expected to hit theatres in April 2017.
