AceShowbiz - Unprofessional co-star on the set of "Fast and Furious 8" which was mentioned in Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson's rant has been revealed. According to TMZ, the tetchy post about "the ones that don't conduct themselves as stand up men and true professionals are too 'chicken s**t' " is directed at Vin Diesel.
The wrestler-turned-actor was reportedly upset over decisions Diesel made as the producer of the film. It led to tension between the two actors and it was almost impossible to shoot scenes. Sources with knowledge of the production of the film told the site that the two actors had a secret meeting in the middle of filming in Atlanta on Tuesday, August 9 to try resolving their differences.
No further information is available about whether the pair have made up or not. As for Diesel, he has yet to comment on the issue. The site also says in other news that several of the cast members are not pleased with Johnson's tetchy post on social media. They are all pissed at him for calling them "chicken s**t" and "candy a**es."
Sources claim that the rest of his male co-stars including Jason Statham, Kurt Russell, Tyrese Gibson, Ludacris and Scott Eastwood think he was out of line to talk crap and it's unforgivable that he didn't mention specific name and made all of them feel like suspects. As the filming wraps up in a week and a half, one of his co-stars says, "This is a hell of a way to end it."
