The Rock explains his 'Fast 8' rant


What The Rock said about his co-stars earlier this week may have you doing the People's Eyebrow.

The wrestler turned actor, Dwayne Johnson, called out his Fast 8 male counterparts in a NSFW Instagram Monday.

"This is my final week of shooting #FastAndFurious8. There's no other franchise that gets my blood boiling more than this one," the man who plays Luke Hobbs in the films wrote.

Johnson then praised the crew, Universal, and his "always amazing" female co-stars. But as he tells it, some of the male actors "are a different story."

"Some conduct themselves as stand up men and true professionals, while others don't," wrote Johnson. "The ones that don't are too chicken (expletive) to do anything about it anyway. Candy (expletive). When you watch this movie next April and it seems like I'm not acting in some of these scenes and my blood is legit boiling - you're right."

Johnson continued to vent, admitting there was a silver lining to his grievances. "Bottom line is it'll play great for the movie and fits this Hobbs character that's embedded in my DNA extremely well," he penned. "The producer in me is happy about this part. Final week on FAST 8 and I'll finish strong."

But on Wednesday, Johnson put a more positive spin on his earlier comments, writing on Instagram, "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... 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."

If you're into playing Guess Who?, Vin Diesel, Tyrese Gibson, Ludacris, Jason Statham, Scott Eastwood, Lucas Black, and Kurt Russell also star in the flick... but according to reports, it's Diesel who Johnson was targeting in the original post.

Diesel may have addressed the feud with Johnson in an Instagram post Thursday morning. After finishing the Fast 8 shoot, he said, "Give me a second and I will tell you everything."
