Today on Drive Wire, a furor in the world's most famous franchise.

Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson is famously affable, despite his enormous muscles and brute strength. This week, however, the star of the [Fast and Furious franchise penned a grumpy Instagram](<https://www.thedrive.com/news/4770/dwayne-johnson-slams-fast-8-co-stars>) calling out the professionalism of his male co-stars, a group that includes Vin Diesel, Jason Statham, Scott Eastwood and Tyrese Gibson. As the internet hypothesizes about which is the object of the post, co-star Gibson responded to Johnson, saying the pair had never had an issue. In addition to posting a video of Johnson singing to his daughter, Gibson noted that he and many in the franchise were making Fast 8 in tribute to Paul Walker, who died in a car accident in 2013.
