The Rock says he will not be a part of ‘Fast & Furious’
The Rock recalls the incident when he met Vin Diesel in June. He had already informed that he will not be a part of Fast and Furious. The statement where Vin Diesel said that he want ‘The Rock’ to be a part of it is ‘manipulation’. This is what the Rock has to say:
“I was firm yet cordial with my words and said that I would always be supportive of the cast and always root for the franchise to be successful, but that there was no chance I would return,” The Rock said. “I privately spoke with my partners at Universal as well, all of whom were very supportive as they understand the problem.”
‘’Vin Diesel’s recent public post was an example of his manipulation. I didn’t like that he brought up his children in the post, as well as Paul Walker’s death. Leave them out of it. We had spoken months ago about this and came to a clear understanding.”
