This macho beef between Vin Diesel and Dwayne Johnson will always be entertaining. These two muscle heads have been feuding, both overtly and passive-aggressively, for years ever since Johnson joined the Fast & Furious franchise. The whole thing escalated with The Fate of the Furious, in which it was visibly clear that these two weren’t getting along so they shared very limited screen time. Johnson then left to do the spinoff Hobbs & Shaw, unlikely to ever return. But even thought beef was supposedly squashed, Diesel perked it back up by claiming it was his “tough love” that helped Johnson be a better actor.
I’m telling you, this shit will never end. And now it’s taken a new turn. Posting to his popular Instagram, Diesel just comes right out and asks Johnson to return for the franchise’s 10th and “final” movie. Why? To fulfill a promise to the late Paul Walker.
“My little brother Dwayne… the time has come. The world awaits the finale of ‘Fast 10.’ As you know, my children refer to you as Uncle Dwayne in my house. There is not a holiday that goes by that they and you don’t send well wishes… but the time has come. Legacy awaits.”
Diesel added, “I told you years ago that I was going to fulfill my promise to Pablo. I swore that we would reach and manifest the best ‘Fast’ in the finale that is ‘10!’ I say this out of love… but you must show up, do not leave the franchise idle you have a very important role to play. Hobbs can’t be played by no other. I hope that you rise to the occasion and fulfill your destiny.”
I mean, I think Diesel is being sincere here. HOWEVER, when your plea begins with calling the 6 foot 5, 275lb Johnson “little brother”, it sounds like some dickhead shit. Can’t wait to see how Johnson responds but trust that there will definitely be one.
