This wink from Vin Diesel to Dwayne Johnson did not go unnoticed

It is a sequence of barely a few seconds which did not escape viewers. During the 82nd Golden Globes ceremony last Sunday, Vin Diesel furtively spoke to Dwayne Johnson during his time on stage, spotted the media Variety. A brief moment but far from trivial, as relations between the two actors were particularly tense for several years.

During the ceremony which took place in Beverly Hills in the presence of many stars, Vin Diesel was responsible for presenting the prize for best cinematographic achievement and best box office. Before starting his speech, he said “Hey Dwayne” to Dwayne Johnson, who was in the audience, provoking laughter from the audience.

A years-old feud

But also those of Internet users, who had a blast on social networks. Many derided the irony of the scene, imagining how Dwayne Johnson felt at that moment, even as the former wrestler wore a small smile.

Between 2011 and 2016, the two men collaborated several times on the film series Fast & Furious. In 2016, Dwayne Johnson was the first to publicly discuss the strained relationship with his partner. In 2021, Vin Diesel recognized his share of responsibility in this conflict, confessing to having been particularly difficult with “The Rock” on the set.

A reunion for the 11th part

The same year, he tried to bury the hatchet, by asking Dwayne Johnson to participate in the new Fast & Furious, Fast X. Which finally happened, after an initial refusal from the principal concerned. However, the two men did not share scenes in the film, underlines AlloCiné.

“Despite our differences, we have been like brothers for years. With brotherhood, we will be the guarantors of this franchise and we will always take care of it, whether it is the characters or the fans that we adore,” declared Dwayne Johnson in June 2023. The two men, whose reconciliation seems truly established, will meet this year on the set of Fast & Furious 11with a release planned for 2026.
