Hollywood stars are toddlers with wallets worth millions. At least that’s how it seems when you look at the petty squabbles between some actors. By far the biggest and most entertaining fight Vin Diesel and Dwayne Johnson fought last. Fast & Furious 8 is on TV today, and the whole conflict started when it was filmed.
On TV: After Fast & Furious 8, Dwayne Johnson was tired of Vin Diesel
It all started with a now-deleted Instagram message in which Johnson wrote “male co-stars” as “Candy Asses” and designated cowards, that would drive him nuts. It didn’t take long for the media to identify Diesel as Johnson’s target (via TMZ). Since then, house blessings have hung awry between the two in the Fast & Furious franchise.
After that it went back and forth. Tyrese Gibson intervened, Johnson was touched at first by Diesel’s warm regards, only to mock him again a short time later. Because he compared himself with the legendary director Federico Fellini (Eight and a Half) through the flower. It was a celebration for the fans. At least for those who enjoyed the argument more than the reconciliation.

Fast & Furious 8 revolves around a renegade Dominic Toretto (Diesel) who is being blackmailed by the mysterious Cypher (Charlize Theron). She makes him to go into the field against his longtime comrades-in-arms, to steal a nuclear warhead.
