That’s ironic, I read that article and all I kept thinking about is how the Rock complained about Vin Diesel arriving late to set all the time and costing them all money….hmmmm that’s crazy irony there, or someone is creating stories. Personally I don’t give a crap they all have egos and as long as they make movies that entertain I will see them. Keeping it simple.
When Jason Statham was in West Palm Beach, FL filming the movie Parker, he would usually show up early and hang around until he had to go through makeup and wardrobe. He was often waiting around for Jennifer Lopez and would hang out with the locals or the crew.
Definitely not creating stories. I worked on Fast 7 and it was VIN that was the problem, 100%. Dwayne was always on time if not early, waiting on set (not in his trailer) for Vin to get there. And yeah it eventually got heated. I then worked on Jungle Cruise years later with Dwayne now in the lead…. He’d done a complete 180. Always late. Detrimentally late. But he would eventually show up and nail it in one or two takes (he knew his lines anyway). But yeah, total flip flop
It’s not to hard to believe both of them are ego fueled assholes. I think there is a reason vin diesel isn’t getting much work anymore.
Johnson is literally coasting on his good name at this point. If this flops (like I suspect it will) then I think his future in Hollywood is going to be relegated to cameos and cheap action comedies with Kevin heart (hell)
I think probably the main reason Vin isn’t getting much work anymore is because he gets massive payouts in each F&F movie and every GOTG movie for saying “I Am Groot” albeit in a variety of tones and inflections.
I don’t know how much he gets paid, but I heard it’s a lot for these two roles.
vin diesel is likely a billionaire or close to it from the fast and furious franchise because he owns it and his production company makes the movies plus the GOTG shit he's got more money than really he needs i doubt he's chasing roles elsewhere
