Dwayne Johnson Responds to Vin Diesel's "Tough Love" Comments: "I Laughed Hard"
The apparent feud between Dwayne Johnson and Vin Diesel continues, as The Rock has commented on The Fast Saga lead star’s previous statement about how he gave “tough love” on set. During an interview for The Hollywood Reporter alongside Jungle Cruise co-star Emily Blunt, Johnson quickly laughed off Diesel’s quote before implying he won’t be returning to a main Fast & Furious movie anytime soon.
To those in need of some context, there’s a reported ongoing dispute between the two action heroes, which supposedly started during the shooting of the three Fast Saga movies of which Johnson was part. Last June, while speaking to Men’s Health, Diesel claimed he purposefully engineered the feud in order to push Johnson to give his best acting ever. In Diesel’s words, he “could give a lot of tough love” on set, but he doesn’t regret the technique. Diesel also says his approach was “not Felliniesque, but I would do anything I’d have to do in order to get performances in anything I’m producing.”
