Why Did The Rock Leave Fast And Furious: Dwayne Johnson indirect comments about Vin Diesel
This beef between Diesel and Dwayne dates back to 2016 when they were working together on the sets of The Fate of the Furious. While The Rock had not called Diesel out directly, he had expressed his frustrations with male co-stars. He wrote an Instagram caption for the same, though the post has been deleted now.
The caption read that some conduct themselves as stand-up men and true professionals, while others don’t. He wrote that the ones who don’t are nothing but candy asses. He ended by saying that when we watch this movie (The Fate of the Furious) next April and it seems like he is not acting in some of the scenes, his blood is legit boiling — then yes, it’s boiling for real.
