Cliff Lipson/CBSTyrese Gibson is going to bat for his Furious 8 co-star Vin Diesel amid reports Diesel’s feuding with Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson.
Gibson, who similarly came to The Rock’s defense after he recently called out some of his male costars for being unprofessional, took to Instagram to defend his other “brother.” In an Instagram photo that show him and Vin together, Tyrese writes in part, “Spreading love always….. without saying I’ve had too many moments too count, too many heart to hearts, we’ve celebrated in too many countries, too many exchanges, too many play dates with our angels…… Our brotherhood and every moment has inspired me to be a better man and father.”
Tyrese continues, “I’m so f****** proud to call you my family and my brother…. even now I’m learning so much about sitting still and being centered in the mist of all of this unexpected energy……. I’ve always said that if ONLY people knew how hard you work to protect this franchise and characters, minds would be blown……”
Gibson’s comments come after initial speculation that The Rock was referring to Gibson in his post earlier this week. Although Johnson didn’t confirm which male co-star or stars he was referring to, reports have circulated that it was star and co-producer Vin Diesel, with whom Johnson reportedly met on Tuesday to clear the air.
