John Cena is giving his thoughts on the long-standing feud between Fast & Furious co-stars, Dwayne Johnson and Vin Diesel.
The WWE star made an appearance on Dax Shepard’s Armchair Expert podcast, where he talked about the behind-the-scenes drama.
“There’s certainly rumors about that. I can’t deny that. You have two very alpha, driven people,” Cena responded. “You get two. There can only be one.”
Cena joined the film franchise in 2021’s F9: The Fast Saga as Jakob Toretto, Dom’s (Diesel) estranged brother.
“Man, you gotta remember I got dropped into a locker room where [we have] generational vets,” Cena said. “‘What’d your dad do?’ ‘Wrestle.’ ‘What’d your granddad do?’ ‘Wrestle.’ I’ve been in that environment; know the room and just kind of adapt to what’s going on.”
Cena continued, “I’m being invited into someone’s home, into someone’s family. And regardless of how they look physically in comparison to another human being, this is one IP that has had nine installments and it’s an action movie — that’s rarefied air. At the very least, there has to be respect for that.”
The feud between Johnson and Diesel went public in August 2016 when the former WWE star called out his co-stars. Johnson joined the franchise in 2011’s Fast Five, making three films before landing and starring in the 2019 Hobbs and Shaw spinoff opposite Jason Statham.
Diesel expressed he wanted Johnson to return to the main franchise in Fast X but said he would not be returning. However, the beef between the two seemed to have been squashed as Johnson returned for a mid-credits scene in the latest film, leaving the door open to return in the 11th film.
