Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson's rant about unprofessional male co-stars on the set of "Fast and Furious 8" rant was reportedly aimed at co-star Vin Diesel.
The decisions Diesel has made as the film's producer reportedly led to tension between the two actors, reported TMZ.
The 44-year-oldwrestler-turned-actor, known for being one of the nicest actors to work with in Hollywood, surprised fans by calling out his male co-stars on action franchise, in an instagram post, but he did not drop any hint about the identity of the persons.
Source say that the two actors had a secret meeting in the middle of filming in Atlanta on August 9 to try resolving their differences.
Diesel, 49, is yet to comment on the issue.
The other cast members apparently are not happy with Johnson's expletive-filled post on social media.
The rest of his male co-stars including Jason Statham, Kurt Russell, Tyrese Gibson, Ludacris and Scott Eastwood reportedly think it was out of line for the actor to talk bad about them.
The shooting on the movie will end in a week and a half.
