Wrestler-turned-actor Dwayne Johnson doesn't want to revisit the feud with Tyrese Gibson.

According to Entertainment Weekly, Gibson had lashed out at Johnson on Instagram and accused of the latter of being selfish about making the Fast And The Furious franchise about himself.

Johnson reverted back, while Gibson threatened to leave the franchise.

"That whole thing with Tyrese, it was pretty disappointing because I had been friends with Tyrese for a very long time," Johnson said.

"I always feel like a beef requires two people to actually jump in it, and it was pretty one-sided and he had voiced his opinion a lot on social media. Apparently, he was going through some stuff, too, in his personal life. But, no, we haven't talked and I don't see where we would and, to me, there's no need to have a conversation," he added.

On a related note, 'The Rock' Johnson is now preparing to co-star with 'The Mechanic' star Jason Statham in the upcoming Fast and Furious spin-off.

The film is set to be directed by David Leitch of 'Deadpool 2' fame.

Statham added that the movie will include comedy and action as "Dwayne's got a big appetite" for it.

The film is slated to hit the silver screen on July 26, 2019.
