In 2016, the information The Rock contradicted Vin Diesel on the set of “Fast & Furious 8” when it was released made the audience surprised.
Since entering the entertainment industry until now, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson has always been a symbol of gentleness and warmth. He is an example of overcoming difficulties, always doing his best for the work that makes the audience admire.
After nearly 20 years of being involved in Hollywood, The Rock is one of the top names not only in terms of popularity, but also through hard work and constant efforts.
The Rock becomes part of the “speed family”
Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson joined the “speed family” from the 5th installment of the Fast & Furious franchise (2011). The actor plays Hobbs, a police officer who has many predestined relationships as well as animosity with leader Dom (Vin Diesel).
The Rock’s Hobbs quickly became an important part of the Fast & Furious franchise.

Hobbs’ appearance helps Fast & Furious like a tiger grow more wings – not only in terms of fame when there is an A-list Hollywood star in attendance, but also in the diversity of the film’s main characters.
After Fast Five , Dwayne Johnson officially became a familiar name of the series. He continued to return in seasons 6 and 7 of the film and gave the audience the eye-catching action scenes.
Conflict with Vin Diesel
However, by Fast & Furious 8 , The Rock’s attachment to the series was tested. From August 2016, the actor began to take to his personal Instagram page to express his displeasure with the events on the set. The Rock’s post was aimed at a specific individual, whom he referred to as a “slut” (“Candy-Ass Feud”).
The identity of the character who is not worthy of men “because he is too cowardly to act to change the situation” in The Rock’s post is Vin Diesel, the actor who plays his comrade on the screen, is also the soul of speed family for over a decade.
The conflict between Vin Diesel and The Rock lasted for many years.

The conflict on the set of the two actors was so great that the board of directors of Universal, the studio that owns the Fast & Furious franchise , had to come out to mediate the two actors.
According to TMZ , an exchange was held on the set with The Rock and Vin Diesel, but did not come to any conclusion.
After the film closed, it was thought that the absence of face-to-face on the set would make the conflict between the two sides cool down. However, the two actors chose a new land to continue to show: social networks.
In the months that followed, both The Rock and Vin Diesel deliberately hinted at each other with meaningful posts. While The Rock thanked the entire Fast & Furious crew and did not tag Vin Diesel, his co-star hinted that he would tell the audience the whole truth.
Influence on the series
By 2017, when both sides had time to “cool down”, and Fast & Furious 8 was about to hit theaters, the two actors also seemed to find a way to talk about the incident more calmly.
Vin Diesel thinks that the conflict between the two is inevitable when both he and The Rock are “leading males”, implying a competition for influence.
The Rock believes that the problem stems from the differences in the life philosophies of the two sides. The actor also confirmed that the conflict between them helped the film get more attention.
The Rock and Jason Statham are the new pairing of the series.

Although the relationship between the two actors has eased somewhat, traces of the peak period of conflict are still left in Fast & Furious 8 . Specifically, although Dom and Hobbs are good partners, the two do not stand in the same frame throughout the movie.
After Fast & Furious 8 , The Rock appears in the spin-off of the speed series revolving around the police-rogue duo Hobbs & Shaw. The positive reception of the audience shows that Hobbs and Shaw are fully capable of becoming a new pair of screen buddies of the series instead of the more or less chipped Hobbs and Dom.
After Hobbs & Shaw , The Rock announced he would not be featured in season 9 of the Fast & Furious series. However, this temporary absence did not affect his decision to stick with the series because The Rock confirmed that the relationship between the two characters Hobbs and Dom will still develop, but cannot be closed in season 8.
For the first time, The Rock expressed its frustration on set
Although the conflict between actors on set is something that has long been familiar to the crew and audience, the story between The Rock and Vin Diesel is surprising.
Up to now, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson is still an actor who maintains a gentle image in public and shows a serious and professional working attitude.
Fast & Furious 8 was the first time The Rock publicized pressing issues on set on social media, and did not hesitate to talk about it with the press. The conflict between him and Vin Diesel made the actor unable to keep his trademark confident smile.
The cause of the conflict has never been specifically mentioned by the insiders. However, based on the fact that Vin Diesel has been complained about many times about his unprofessional attitude on the set of Fast & Furious in both the role of actor and producer, some outsiders also realize the reason. sparked a controversy between the two.
