The rumors which have been swirling about Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson's Instagram rant being for Vin Diesel gained some traction recently after Johnson did not mention his Fast 8 co-star and ignored praise from him.
On Friday, Aug. 19, some eyebrows were raised when Johnson posted a message to Instagram announcing that filming for the movie had wrapped and mentioned some of his co-stars, but not Diesel.
Johnson specifically mentioned Scott Eastwood, Natalie Emmanuel and Tyrese Gibson. He concluded the lengthy post by saying that he was "proud of our entire FAST FAMILY." But the non mention fueled speculation that his rant was directed at Diesel.
Making things pretty awkward is that Diesel also took to social media on Friday to discuss filming the eighth installment of the franchise and praised Johnson.
“The reason we brought Dwayne Johnson into Fast 5 was because of you!” Diesel said in a Facebook video. “There was a girl named Jan Kelly who said, 'I would love to see you work together on screen.’ So the role that was originally written for Tommy Lee Jones, we gave it to Dwayne and he shined in it.”
Johnson did not respond to Diesel's post and a source previously confirmed to ET that Vin is in fact the person The Rock ranted about because he showed up to set late multiple times. We'll have to wait and see how these two interact going forward especially since they will have to promote this movie together in the future.
Fast 8 is set to hit theaters on April 14, 2017.
