Is The Rock's Beef With Fast & Furious Star Vin Diesel?
Following Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson’s revelation that the set of ‘Fast & Furious 8’ might have lost some of those ‘family’ vibes that are so often spoken about, fingers have started pointing.
Yesterday, the actor, generally considered one of the nicest A-listers in the business, took to Instagram to call out certain male cast-members as not being ‘stand up men’ and conducting themselves in an unprofessional manner.

He added that they were ‘chicken sh*t’ and ‘candy asses’ too, just to guild the lily. But who could he be referring to?
Well, while some presumed it could be newcomer Scott Eastwood, according to TMZ, it’s none other than the franchise star Vin Diesel himself.
“The Rock’s rant about unprofessional male co-stars was targeted at Vin Diesel,” the US gossip site reports
“The 2 had a secret meeting on the Fast 8 set Tuesday to hash things out. Production sources tell TMZ… when the Rock went nuts on social media Monday night, claiming certain male co-stars were not stand up guys and too ‘chicken sh*t’ to confront him… he was referring to Vin.”
“We’re told The Rock has butted heads with Vin during the production, in part because V.D. is a producer and has made decisions that didn’t sit well with the former wrestling champ,” they added.
“Our sources say The Rock and Vin had a meeting on the Atlanta set mid-day Tuesday… partly because tensions were running so high it was almost impossible to shoot scenes. We do not know if they resolved their issues.”
Here’s the tirade posted by the usually mild-mannered Johnson:
So far, the production, nor Diesel has commented on the matter.
