WWE wrestler-turned-actor Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson has slammed some of his "Fast & Furious 8" male co-stars for not being professional on set.
The 44-year-old actor, who is about to wrap up the shoot of the film, took to Facebook to write a post about how thankful he is to be in his final week of shooting the highly anticipated film.
"There's no other franchise that gets my blood boiling more than this one. An incredibly hard working crew. Universal Studios Entertainment has been great partners as well. My female co-stars are always amazing and I love 'em.
"My male co-workers however are a different story. Some conduct themselves as stand up men and true professionals, while others don't. The ones that don't can't do anything about it anyway," Johnson wrote, without taking any names.
The "San Andreas" star said the fans are in for the real fun when they watch the movie on the big screen.
"When you watch this movie next April and it seems like I'm not acting in some of these scenes and my blood is legit boiling-you're right.
"Bottom line is it'll play great for the movie and fits this Hobbs character that's embedded in my DNA extremely well. The producer in me is happy about this part. Final week on Fast 8 and I will finish strong," he concluded.
None of Johnson's male co-stars, including Scott Eastwood, Tyrese, Jason Statham and Ludacris have responded to the post yet.
Vin Diesel did go live on the social networking site after Johnson's post but made no direct comments on his post.
"The last week has been so crazy working here. I haven't been able to post but soon I'm going to be home with my angels and then I'll be able to post a little bit more... Always be you and stay positive out there," Diesel said.
