Hollywood star Dwayne Johnson has made it clear that he won’t be appearing in future ‘Fast & Furious’ films, reports Hindustan Times.
Johnson, who plays Luke Hobbs in the franchise, had a fall out with lead star Vin Diesel during the making of 2017’s ‘The Fate of the Furious’ that resulted in the actor dropping out of latest instalment, ‘Fast & Furious 9’.
Diesel recently said it was his “tough love” act that enabled Johnson to perform better in the movies.
Dwayne Johnson told The Hollywood Reporter, “I laughed and I laughed hard. I think everyone had a laugh at that. And I’ll leave it at that.”
The actor then added, “And that I’ve wished them well. I wish them well on Fast 9. And I wish them the best of luck on Fast 10 and Fast 11 and the rest of the Fast & Furious movies they do that will be without me.”
Diesel had addressed the beef between Johnson and him in a Men’s Health interview and said, “I could give a lot of tough love. Not Felliniesque, but I would do anything I’d have to do in order to get performances in anything I’m producing.”
Dwayne Johnson first played Hobbs in 2011’s Fast Five and later returned for ‘Fast & Furious 6’ (2013), ‘Furious 7’ (2015) and ‘The Fate of the Furious’ (2017).
He also starred in the franchise’s spin-off movie Hobbs & Shaw in 2019, co-starring Jason Statham, who reprised his role of Deckard Shaw from the long-running series.
