To steal to one of his famous in-ring insults from his wrestling days, many of Dwayne Johnson’s “Fast 8” co-stars think he’s a real jabroni for calling them out on social media. In fact, according to TMZ, many of the co-stars are downright angry with him for his Instagram tirade.
“The male co-stars think Rock was out of line to talk cr*p,” the website said, citing on-set sources, “but given that he did, they think it’s unforgivable he wasn’t specific because now they’re all suspects.”
On Monday, The Rock took to Instagram to unload on his male costars, something that is very rare for the always-a-team-player actor.
“My female co-stars are always amazing and I love ’em. My male co-stars however are a different story. Some conduct themselves as stand up men and true professionals, while others don’t,” he said. “The ones that don’t are too chicken s— to do anything about it anyway. Candy a–es. 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.”
Ever since he blasted his co-stars, the hunt has been on for whom he was singling out. Not one seems to know. Filming for the latest installment of the popular franchise is set to wrap in a week and a half.
Although Dwayne was complimentary to his female costars, they, too, are upset with him, the website said.
“This is a hell of a way to end [filming,]” a source told the website, adding that “extreme egos” of many of the top actors has led to several conflicts on the set.
The Rock is on the set today with his co-stars, but apparently has said nothing to clarify his remarks or even hint at who he was talking about, although most believe that his ire isn’t centered on Tyrese or Ludacris.
