Practically, no one expected Dwayne Johnson’sThe Fast and the Furiousto grow into one of the biggest media franchises in the world when it was first released in 2001. By the timeFast Xpremieres in 2023, theFast & Furiousfranchise will have made over $6 billion in total revenue from 10 films, a spin-off, and even rides at Universal Studios.
Although it has brought together fans in movie theaters for more than 20 years, the story ‘behind the scenes’ has been very different.In fact, there is a well-known feud, which everyone is aware of (especially amongFast & Furiousfans) between Dwayne Johnson and Vin Diesel.
Even though the two actors have patched things up, Ludacris, who plays Tej Parker, has once spoken out about the“delicate situation” that existed between the two celebrities.
Ludacris Comments On The Infamous Feud Between Vin Diesel And Dwayne Johnson
The feud between Vin Diesel andDwayne Johnsonhas once been addressed byFast Xactor, Ludacris. The infamous argument between the two actors began after ‘The Rock’ used his Instagram account to criticize the lack of professionalism displayed by unnamed actors on the movie’s set.
The now-deleted post made reference to some people’s improper behavior. Johnson was said to have called out Diesel, though no names were mentioned at the time.Even though the two actors have patched things up,Fast Xstar,Ludacrishas once spoken out about the “delicate situation”that existed between them. In a statement to Us Weekly, the 45-year-old actor-rapper said:
“All I can say is that, from what I understand, I know those are two grown men.”
He continued by claiming that he didn’t want to speak for either of the two men and mentioned:
“I believe The Rock has spoken on that, and I don’t want to speak for either one of them. So, I would leave it to whatever their words are and keep it that way, because it’s a delicate situation.”
Also note that the two allegedly had a worsening of situation when their feud was still recent, which prevented them from sharing a scene in 2017’sThe Fate of the Furious.
Their Feud Explained
The famous feud took place on the set ofThe Fate of the Furious, the eighth installment in theFast and Furiousseries, between Dwayne Johnson andVin Diesel. It was revealed that they were at odds when Johnson wrote a now-deleted Instagram post in 2016 about co-stars who “couldn’t conduct themselves as stand up men.”
Although he didn’t specifically name anyone, observers believed that he was referring to Diesel, who co-starred with him inFast Five, Fast & Furious 6,andFurious 7.
Well, it is safe to say that the franchise has launched a series of films since then, each of which has grown in scale and featured more and more action-packed blockbusters.
Fast Xand his extended ‘family’ are back for more vehicular mayhem in the tenth and penultimate installment of the franchise. In terms of actors playing the same characters again on the big screen, theFast and Furiousfranchise is now breaking new ground.
The drama should be kept to a minimum so that fans can enjoy the recently releasedFast Xmovies without any further star feuds.
Fast Xdebuted in theaters on July 17, 2025.
