Dwayne Johnson Reveals What Really Happened On Set of ‘Fast & Furious 8’

Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson explains what happened on set of Fast & Furious 8.

Dwayne The Rock Johnson knows how to promote a movie. Before he became an A-list actor, The Rock was a WWF wrestler that knew how to talk trash. His quips, comments, and monologues were impressive and down right entertaining. So, when he posted a video on Instagram saying one of his co-stars on Fast & Furious 8 is a “candy ass”, The Rock was using his trash talking skills he developed years ago. Unfortunately, the film industry isn’t like the wrestling ring and Rick Farley isn’t here to save you.

After further investigation, it was believed that the “candy ass” he was referring to was Vin Diesel, with both actors’ egos allegedly clashing on set.  But now The Rock wants you to know how he really feels.

“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.”

So, if you’re ready to see a fight between The Rock v. Vin Diesel, you may have to wait until Fast & Furious 8 is headed to theaters on April 14, 2017.

My FINAL WEEK of shooting #FastAndFurious. There’s no greatness ever achieved alone.. it’s always a team effort. We promised an epic prison break out for you guys and we delivered. HUGE THANK YOU to my ohana (family) stunt coordinator JJ Perry and his bad ass fearless stunt team – as well as my cousin and incredible stunt double @samoanstuntman.
