Dwayne Johnson's "Candy Ass" FAST 8 Co-Star Reportedly Revealed

To make sure everyone's up to speed, you should read this piece I wrote yesterday about Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson calling some of his male co-stars "candy asses" and "chicken shit." It was an uncharacteristic attack on the part of Johnson, who's almost always hyping nothing but positivity, and I hypothesized that since the nature of Johnson's comments was about how these mysterious co-stars were acting unprofessional, he couldn't possibly be talking about Vin Diesel, since Diesel is a producer on the Fast movies and one of the major architects behind its continued success. But according to TMZ, that's exactly who The Rock is beefing with.

We're told The Rock has butted heads with Vin during the production, in part because V.D. is a producer and has made decisions that didn't sit well with the former wrestling champ.

Our sources say The Rock and Vin had a meeting on the Atlanta set mid-day Tuesday ... partly because tensions were running so high it was almost impossible to shoot scenes. We do not know if they resolved their issues.

If you've seen all of the Fast movies, you can probably sense that Diesel has always viewed Dom Toretto as an untouchable badass. Hobbs should have completely dominated Dom in their brawl during Fast Five, but they basically fought to a draw, presumably to retain their egos. Ego has apparently been a big factor on the set of Fast 8, but I'm still surprised that these two particular guys are beefing at this point in the franchise. I'm sure there's more than enough money to go around, but Hollywood status can mess with people's heads.

The only question now is, who else was The Rock talking about? In his original Instagram post, he mentioned multiple male co-stars who weren't conducting themselves professionally. I wonder if the identity of the other party will ever emerge? Here's hoping none of this has a negative impact on these movies going forward, because as dumb as they are, I really dig them.
