While presenting an award, Diesel went off script, directly addressing Johnson in a moment that drew laughter and attention to their rocky relationship. The tension between the two began in 2016 during The Fate of the Furious production, with Johnson’s infamous “candy a***s” Instagram post hinting at on-set conflicts. The feud played out publicly, with cryptic messages, media interviews, and delays to the Fast & Furious franchise due to Johnson’s spin-off, Hobbs & Shaw.
Over the years, both actors expressed regret over their past actions but maintained differing perspectives, with occasional reconciliations—most notably Johnson’s 2023 post-credits cameo in Fast X, signaling renewed collaboration. Yet, Diesel’s Golden Globes remark shows that the drama isn’t entirely behind them, leaving fans guessing about what’s next in this high-octane Hollywood saga.
