Vin Diesel Calls Out Dwayne Johnson at Golden Globes Amid Feud

Vin Diesel and Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson are drifting to a new stage in their relationship.

At the 2025 Golden Globe Awards held on January 5th, the cast members of The Fast and Furious series, who had been at odds for nearly a decade, reconnected. This happened during the ceremony when Vin took to the stage and acknowledged his former wrestling colleague in a public shoutout.

When he stepped up onto the stage to announce the award for Outstanding Cinematic and Commercial Success, Vin cast a friendly gaze towards his old acting partner, offering a warm greeting, “Hi, Dwayne.

The Rock, 52, seemed to appreciate the mention, smiling back at Vin and giving a small nod.

The dispute between the pair started in 2016 during the filming of the eighth movie in the series, The Fate of the Furious. At that time, Dwayne publicly criticized some of his male co-stars on Instagram as “cowards” and “weaklings.” Although he didn’t specify names back then, he later acknowledged that there were problems with Vin during filming.

Regarding Vin, it seemed like he was striving to keep a cordial rapport with Dwayne. He complimented his acting in the series and even made a public appeal to the star of Moana, asking him to rejoin for Fast X.

Hey there! I’ve been a die-hard fan for quite some time now, and in my home, your name is Uncle Dwayne. Every holiday, we exchange warm greetings like clockwork. But, something special is brewing…

As you may recall, I made a vow to my late costar Paul Walker that the series would reach its 10th installment. So, here I am, speaking from the heart… You’ve got to make an appearance, Uncle Dwayne! The franchise can’t afford to be left idle with such an important role waiting for you to play. This request comes straight from my heart, my friend.

However, Dwayne perceived Vin’s message as an instance of manipulation and expressed this sentiment to CNN in December 2021, stating, “I wasn’t comfortable with him mentioning his children in the post, along with the reference to Paul Walker’s death. It’s best to keep them out of this situation.

Nevertheless, they managed to put their differences aside in 2023, as Dwayne revealed his plans to rejoin the cast for Fast X: Part 2, which was set to release in 2026.

Over the summer, Vin and I chose to leave our past issues behind us, as he expressed on platform X (previously known as Twitter) in June of that year. From now on, we will prioritize brotherhood, resolve, and above all, we’ll safeguard the franchise, characters, and fans whom we hold dear.

Dwayne pointed out that “even though we have our disagreements, Vin and I have been more like brothers for a long time,” implying that they decided to address their problems because they have “ambitions that surpass our individual selves.
