Vin Diesel has broken his silence on feud rumors with Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson that were reignited at Sunday’s Golden Globes.
Diesel, 57, and Johnson, 52, had an awkward moment during the ceremony, years after they clashed on the set of 2017’s The Fate of the Furious.
The pair had starred in Fast Five, Furious 6 and The Fate of the Furious, although Johnson made headlines for a post criticizing one of his co-stars who he did not name, although it was later confirmed to be Diesel.
Their issue resulted in Johnson essentially abandoning the main franchise and moving on to film the spin-off Hobbs & Shaw with Jason Statham.
When Diesel went to present the box office achievement award, he looked down and said, “Hi, Dwayne,” while Johnson simply smiled, and fans noticed the forced exchange on social media.
Diesel took to Instagram on Tuesday to share a snap with his former co-star, writing, “All love… Always…”
Vin Diesel has broken his silence over feud rumors with Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson that were reignited at Sunday’s Golden Globes (pictured in 2011).
Diesel and Johnson had an awkward moment at the Golden Globes on Sunday, years after they clashed on the set of 2017’s The Fate of the Furious.
Many fans noticed the awkward onstage mention at the Golden Globes, which Johnson simply laughed off.
While Johnson simply laughed off the Golden Globes drama, some even thought it could have led to a situation similar to Will Smith’s slap at Chris Rock at the 2022 Oscars.
