Proof Vin Diesel and Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson Are Still Family

Vin Diesel and Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson appear to have mended their relationship, reaching a point of understanding.

The on-screen comrades from the “Fast and Furious” series, who had been engaged in a longstanding dispute for almost a decade, unequivocally signaled that they have finally laid their rivalry to rest following their meeting at the 2025 Golden Globe Awards.

In the caption for his January 7th Instagram post, Vin wrote, ‘All love’ alongside a throwback photo of him with Auli’i Cravalho from Moana, where he had an arm around her. He then continued, ‘Forever and always.’

Two days following his touching social media post, the 47-year-old paid tribute to the former wrestler on the red carpet of the Golden Globes on January 5th.

Greeting Dwayne, Vin stepped forward to announce the winner of the Cinematic and Box Office Achievement Award, an honor that was bestowed upon the film Wicked. Dwayne accepted warmly, returning a smile and a barely perceptible head nod.

What sparked the tension between the duo initially? During the filming of the eighth installment of Fast and Furious, The Fate of the Furious in 2016, Dwayne Johnson posted an unusually frustrated message on social media. Although he didn’t explicitly call out anyone, he had some substantial criticisms regarding certain cast members.

In a 2016 Facebook post, the actor from “Red One” expressed, “No other franchise stirs me up as much as this one does.” He continued, “My female co-stars are outstanding and I adore them all. My male colleagues, on the other hand, present a mixed bag. Some display admirable professionalism, while others fall short. Those who underperform often lack the courage to address their behavior. They’re more like timid birds than real men.

In April when you see this movie, if it appears as though I’m not acting in certain scenes and my anger feels authentic—you’re correct. To put it simply, it works well for the film and suits the Hobbs character that feels deeply ingrained within me. As a producer, I’m pleased with this role. With just one week left on Fast 8, I’ll wrap things up strongly. #IcemanCometh #F8 #NoToleranceForWeakness

However, following Dwayne’s outburst in public, Vin made an effort to maintain civility, asking Dwayne to rejoin the series for its tenth edition. He emphasized that this was in fulfillment of a promise they had made to their late co-star, Paul Walker.

In my home, you’re fondly known as Uncle Dwayne, and every holiday, we exchange warm greetings. However, I feel compelled to express this from the heart – it’s high time for your presence. This isn’t just about maintaining a franchise; there’s a significant role that needs your active involvement.

Despite initially perceiving Vin’s proposal as a manifestation of manipulation according to his statement to CNN in 2021, they managed to put their differences aside in 2023. This was evident when Dwayne announced his participation in the 2026 sequel, “Fast X: Part 2.”

That previous summer, Vin and I chose to move forward, leaving our history behind. On X (formerly Twitter) in June, he expressed this sentiment: ‘From now on, we’ll prioritize brotherhood and resolve, and will always safeguard the franchise, characters, and fans that we cherish.’

It appears things have gone smoothly ever since then for this particular pair of celebrities. Unfortunately, not all famous feuders can claim the same success – dive into the following to uncover more about Hollywood’s most notable rivalries…

In January 2024, Bobby, who is seen here second from the left, clarified speculations about a rift with Tan, who is in the middle of the photo, following his departure from Queer Eye after an impressive run of eight seasons, two months prior.

In an interview with Vanity Fair, I chose to share a message of reassurance: “Tan and I are navigating through a private matter, but rest assured, we’re both doing well.” To set the record straight, this situation has no connection whatsoever to our work on the show. It’s a personal issue that’s been developing over time, and I would like to make it clear that there is no romantic involvement involved.

By March 2024, Tan was addressing rumors that he had been advocating for his friend Jeremiah Brent to take over from Bobby on the show “Queer Eye”.

On Instagram, he stated that both Netflix and the production companies conducted a thorough casting process. He did not recommend his friend for the role. Instead, they secured the job because they were the most suitable candidate for it. However, he did not help them get hired by eliminating someone else.

In a December 2023 episode of her podcast “Let’s Be Clear,” Holly Marie Combs, a former costar from the series “Charmed,” claimed that Alyssa had demanded a choice be made between herself and Shannen to a show producer. This alleged ultimatum reportedly resulted in Shannen leaving the show in 2001.

Back in February 2024, Alyssa stated via Instagram, “I didn’t possess the ability to terminate anyone’s employment,” and furthermore, she expressed that “the passage of time has made any recounting of these incidents by anyone a form of revisionist history.

The following day, at a panel discussion held at MegaCon Orlando, Shannen asserted, “There’s no rewriting of history in the truth that I am aware we shared.

Come September 2023, as I found myself engrossed in a game titled “Stir the Pot” with none other than Kelly Osbourne on TopMob News, I couldn’t help but share my long-standing feelings about this former star of “That ’70s Show.” To put it mildly, she had the misfortune of encountering the rudest celebrity I’ve ever met. In fact, I labeled her as a “rude, rude, rude, rude little boy” and a “Dastardly little thing.” Quite an unforgettable interaction, indeed!

He did not respond to her remarks publicly.

Approximately five years ago, Sharon shared with Larry King that when Ashton was a guest on The Talk in 2014, he showed an attitude because she accidentally called him by the wrong name.

She remembered him asking, “‘Who are you? What’s your background in this field?'” To which she responded, “Child, be careful, or I’ll overpower you and discard you. Let me tell you, you haven’t seen anything yet.

In August 2022, Cassadee and Brittany Aldean (wife of country star Jason Aldean) had a heated exchange on Instagram following Brittany’s post. On August 23rd, she shared a video of herself applying makeup with the caption expressing gratitude for not being transitioned when she went through her tomboy phase and loving her feminine lifestyle.

2022 saw a TikTok challenge where JoJo Siwa labeled Candace Cameron Bure as the most unfriendly celebrity. She shared that she felt disappointed when Bure previously declined to take a photo with her on a red carpet. However, soon after this comment, the actress from “Full House” expressed regret: “I hurt your feelings by not taking a picture with you at that event. I’m truly sorry, JoJo.

Initially, there was a reconciliation between the two parties. However, several months down the line, Candace was posed a question regarding whether the Great American Family network, where she holds the position of chief creative officer, would portray same-sex couples as main characters in their holiday movies. She responded negatively, further stating that the network will maintain traditional marriage at its foundation.

In a post on Instagram last year, JoJo expressed that the actress’ remark was both insensitive and painful towards an entire group of individuals within the LGBTQ+ community.

In June 2021, Courtney Love claimed that Olivia Rodrigo had copied the album cover of her band Hole for a promotional photo without giving proper credit. Olivia replied with “I love you and live through this so much.” Courtney then said, “Olivia – feel free to use it! My favorite florist is in Notting Hill, London! Send me a message for more details! I’m excited to read your response [winking face emoji].

During an interview on “Watch What Happens Live”, the actor from “Happy Days” was questioned about his strained relationship with the actor from “Forrest Gump” during the filming of their 1989 movie, “Turner & Hooch”.

As a devoted admirer immersed in the creative process, I found myself at the helm of a movie for an exhilarating 13 days. Then, out of the blue, I was summoned to Jeff Katzenberg’s office. With a cryptic smile, he looked at me and said, “Everything you need is with you? Pack up and head home.

As a devoted admirer, I must admit, I found a wonderful camaraderie with the canine castmate of Mr. Hanks. To put it simply, I hit it off splendidly with that four-legged friend. “I adore that dog,” I shared enthusiastically. “That dog and I are on excellent terms.

He also refused to admit if he’s even seen the flick.

“You know what you did!”

Supporters of the show “The Hills” might recall that memorable phrase, spoken by Lauren in the season three opener. This feud between Lauren and Heidi escalated when Heidi began dating her current spouse, Spencer Pratt. The conflict reached its zenith when Lauren alleged that Heidi and Spencer had spread a gossip about her making a sex tape with Jason Wahler.

In a fresh escalation of their long-standing dispute, Tyrese took aim at Dwayne Johnson on Instagram after it was announced that the release date for Fast and Furious 9 had been moved to April 2020. On the very same day, news broke about a Fast and Furious spinoff featuring Dwayne and Jason Statham scheduled for release in 2019. A month later, Tyrese hinted at leaving Fast 9 if Dwayne was part of the film.

Later on, Tyrese spoke candidly about the dispute during an appearance on the “The Red Pill” podcast, saying, “As of now, I haven’t spoken to The Rock directly, but we will have a conversation.” He mentioned that he had communicated with The Rock’s producing partner, but not the actor himself.

Tyrese admitted that he served as a representative for multiple individuals connected to the franchise, but unfortunately, he was the one who openly expressed these sentiments, which he acknowledges was his mistake. He stated that such actions are unprofessional and not acceptable.

No more bad blood here.

For a long time, Taylor and Katy have had a bitter rivalry, with Taylor’s song “Bad Blood” seemingly stemming from it. The conflict, said to have originated over a backup dancer and conflicting tours, seems to have been resolved when Perry extended an olive branch, quite literally, before Taylor’s Reputation Tour began.

Taylor shared in an Instagram video, “I’ve just discovered a real olive branch in my dressing room, and it means a great deal to me.

Taylor captioned the video, “Thank you Katy.”

For many years, it was speculated that co-stars Kim and Sarah Jessica Parker from the show “Sex and the City” had avoided any feud. However, this speculation resurfaced when Kim opted not to rejoin for a third film and made statements about her colleague that left people questioning their relationship.

Andy Cohen inquired about Sarah Jessica Parker’s response when Kim Cattrall stated they were only co-workers, not friends, during an interview with Piers Morgan in September 2017 on his show “Watch What Happens Live”.

Oh boy, I was absolutely crushed! We had talked so much about it all week, and hearing that perspective just didn’t sit right with me. That’s not how I remember our shared moments at all.

She explained, “It’s unfortunate, but I guess I feel like the shared unique experience we had is what truly bonds us. It was a professional journey, yet over the course of years it evolved into something deeply personal. So I hope this shared history overshadows any more recent discussions.” She went on to say, “Experiencing something so special for such an extended period of time together is truly a rare privilege.

And though they didn’t film scenes together, Kim did make a small appearance on And Just Like That.

The legendary musicians have been engaged in a long-standing dispute since 2004. During his acceptance speech for the Classic Songwriter Award at the Q Awards that year, Elton John expressed his disapproval to the audience: “Madonna, considered the best live performer? That’s ridiculous! When did miming become live performance? I apologize, but I believe anyone who lip-syncs on stage in public, especially when you pay around 75 pounds to watch them, should be reprimanded.

2008 saw a dispute between the then-star of Grey’s Anatomy and its creator, as the actress chose not to be considered for Emmy Awards. She explained that her decision was based on not receiving script content worthy of an award nomination.

Later on, Shonda discussed Katherine’s choice during an interview on Oprah’s Next Chapter in 2012, conducted by Oprah Winfrey. She stated, “On one hand it hurt and on the other I wasn’t shocked. When someone reveals their true nature, trust them. That’s something I hold onto frequently. It has proven beneficial for me.

During the New York Fashion Week, there was a worldwide-noted argument between Nicki and Cardi that took place at the Harper’s Bazaar Icon party. A month later, Cardi explained what sparked the disagreement with Nicki.

For some time, she’s been firing many criticisms at me, Cardi explained in the Art Issue of W magazine. “I had spoken with her on two occasions previously, and we reached an agreement. However, she continued the confrontation.

A significant source of conflict between them occurred when it appeared that Nicki had given a thumbs-up and subsequently ungave a thumbs-up to a tweet criticizing Cardi’s parenting abilities, an action Nicki claims she didn’t take.

Cardi B explained, “I had been set to earn millions from my Bruno Mars tour, but I chose to stay with my daughter instead. ‘I adore my daughter,’ she added. ‘I’m a fantastic mother, so it’s hard for those without children to understand such comments.’ Many people suggested that the event wasn’t the appropriate time or place to discuss this, but I won’t encounter another artist in a grocery store or on the street.

The strained relationship between Kanye and Taylor Swift originally emerged in 2009 during her acceptance speech at the MTV Video Music Awards, when Kanye made a surprise appearance on stage while she was speaking. Despite reconciling years later and even forming friendship, their bond dissolved once again following the release of his song “Famous,” which mentioned Taylor Swift by name.

“I don’t know her.”

The feud between Mariah and J.Lo has lasted for more than 15 years now. It began when Mariah, dubbed the Queen of Christmas, was questioned about various singers in an interview. When asked about Jennifer, she simply stated, “I’m not familiar with her.
