It’s been quite a whirlwind week of intrigue for Dwayne Johnson. Things started with a post on Facebook, where The Rock trashed some of his unnamed male co-stars for being unprofessional and “candy ass” on the set of “Fast 8.” This was followed by reports that his beef was with Vin Diesel, with the pair butting heads as producers on the picture. But it looks like the controversy is over. For now.
Johnson once again took to social media, this time with a post giving a huge shout out to the stunt team of “Fast 8,” while obliquely referencing the drama that unfolded over the past few days. Here’s what he wrote:
You guys reading this know how much I believe in the idea of TEAM EFFORT. That means respecting every person, their time and their value when they step on to my set or partner with our production company. And like with any team – that’s a family – there’s gonna be conflict. Family is gonna have differences of opinion and fundamental core beliefs. To me, conflict can be a good thing, when its followed by great resolution. I was raised on healthy conflict and welcome it. And like any family, we get better from it. At the end of the day me and #F8 co-stars all agree on the most important thing: Delivering an incredible movie to the world.
Okay, that’s cool and all, but we won’t believe the beef between The Rock and Vin Diesel has been completely squashed until we see a picture of the two of them hugging it out. Plenty of time for that to happen before “Fast 8” opens on April 14, 2017.
