Well, this is something we didn’t expect!
Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson and Vin Diesel’s public rivalry may just be a publicity stunt to gather traction for a WWE wrestling match in promotion of the pair’s latest film, says Life & Style.
“They are playing a huge prank, and it’s all for publicity,” a source confessed.
“The Rock convinced Vin to amp up the drama between them so they could turn it into a WWE match to help promote the April 2017 release of Fast 8.”
Earlier this month, The Rock took to Facebook with an emotional rant calling out his male co-stars for being “unprofessional” on the set of Fast 8.
While he mentioned no specific names, fans of the 44-year-old, who plays agent Luke Hobbs in the franchise, heavily speculated that the aggressive rant was directed to Vin.
One fan makes an excellent point…
“This is my final week of shooting Fast & Furious 8. There’s no other franchise that gets my blood boiling more than this one,” he began.
Before elaborating on his fury, the actor took a moment to praise his “amazing” female co-stars, which include Michelle Rodriguez, Charlize Theron, Elsa Pataky and Helen Mirren.
“My male co-stars however are a different story. Some conduct themselves as stand up men and true professionals, while others don’t. The ones that don’t are too chicken sh– to do anything about it anyway.”
The beloved star included a video with his message… and let’s just say there is A LOT of anger bubbling away. Decide for yourself and check it out in the video below. Post continues…
The former-wrestler-turned-actor then went on to admit that despite his many years as a Hollywood actor, fans will no doubt be able to see the internal rage through his portrayal of the beloved character.
“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,” he said.
And it would seem that Vin has some angry stories of his own to share in response!
Have they been playing us the whole time?
The former wrestler has been spending a lot of time in the gym… Is he training for anything in particular?
Last week, the 49-year-old posted his own candid Instagram clip, which begins similarly to that of his co-star’s with a wrap up of his time on set.
“After being on set since literally Christmas to finally, finally, finally to come home,” the action hero said looking into the camera.
“And to learn the little angel [daughter Pauline] learned a new word. I’m going to have to share it with you, it’s more important than anything.”
Watch the clip for yourself in the video player below! Post continues…
“Her new word kind of describes my spirit and my soul, and most people who stay positive,” he went on before revealing: “The new word is ‘happy.’”
“When I heard her say ‘happy,’ I just lit up in ways I can’t even describe,”
His sweet dedication to his one-year-old, who he named after his late friend and co-star Paul Walker, the took a dark turn when his voice turned to a whisper.
“So give me a second and I will tell you everything. Everything.”
