Dwayne Johnson is not someone to be messed with.
The star has always been one to speak his mind when the opportunity arises.
If you thought the cast of Fast 8 got on swimmingly, it’s now clearer than ever that they most certainly do not.
Johnson took to both Instagram and Facebook to hit out at some of his male co-stars in a surprising rant.
“This is my final week of shooting Fast & Furious 8. There’s no other franchise that gets my blood boiling more than this one. An incredible hard working crew. Universal Studios Entertainment has been great partners as well. My female co-stars are always amazing and I love ’em.”
That sounds pretty nice. Right?!
It’s the next part of the post that had alarm bells ringing.
“My male co-stars however are a different story,” he went on.
“Some conduct themselves as stand up men and true professionals, while others don’t. The ones that don’t are too chicken sh*t to do anything about it anyway. Candy asses. 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.”
Okay then.
“Bottom line is it’ll play great for the movie and fits this Hobbs character that’s embedded in my DNA extremely well. The producer in me is happy about this part. Final week on FAST 8 and I will finish strong. #IcemanCometh #F8 #ZeroToleranceForCandyAsses.”
It’s unclear exactly which of his male co-stars he is referring to, but the post is really surprising.
Throughout production on the previous movies, the cast and crew seemed like a close-knit family.
What could have changed this time round?
This is the first movie in the franchise without Paul Walker in it.
Walker was killed in a freak car accident while production on Furious 7 was underway.
Of the new additions to the cast this time round, Scott Eastwood is probably the most notable.
Could this be about him?
We’ll probably never know the answer, but it’ll be interesting to watch the movie to witness just how annoyed Johnson was during production.
If his acting is really that off in some of the scenes, there’s a good chance they won’t make the final cut.
What do you think about all of this?
