As noted, Vin Diesel and The Rock were kept away from each other as much as possible while doing the press tour for the upcoming Fate of the Furious film. Their beef all started last year when Diesel, who was often tardy, arrived late for his final scene with Johnson, which led to Johnson going to social media and lashing out on Diesel in an Instagram post.
ET Online spoke with Diesel and Johnson at the red carpet premiere of The Fate of the Furious this past Saturday night.
Johnson: “Just like, in life, you have different philosophies and people have different fundamental philosophies on how you do things,” Johnson said. “And again, the most important thing is just the movie. So I’m happy that we’re here in New York City, I’m happy the fans love it.”
Diesel: “In my house, he’s ‘Uncle Dwayne,’ and I’m proud of that,” Diesel said. “We still love each other, that’s my boy. When I was making that difficult decision, should there be an 8 or not, I called [Johnson] and he said, ‘Brother, I will be there shoulder to shoulder with you to make sure it’s the best movie in history.’ And he delivered.”
