The 2025 Golden Globes may have been a night of celebration, but a brief moment between Dwayne Johnson and Vin Diesel stole the spotlight. Diesel, presenting the award for cinematic and box office achievement, casually waved at Johnson in the audience, chuckling as he said, “Hey Dwayne.” The audience at the Beverly Hills Hilton erupted in laughter, but Johnson’s reaction — a fleeting smile that quickly turned icy — hinted at unresolved tensions.
Fans of the Fast & Furious franchise are no strangers to the history between these two Hollywood heavyweights. Their public feud began in 2016 when Johnson called an unnamed co-star a “candy ass” in a now-famous Instagram post, later confirmed to be aimed at Diesel. This fallout led to Johnson skipping out on F9 and Fast X. However, in 2023, the two appeared to bury the hatchet, paving the way for Johnson’s surprise return as Luke Hobbs in Fast X’s mid-credits scene and the announcement of a new Hobbs spinoff.
Johnson even posted a heartfelt note on social media in June 2023, saying, “We’ve put all the past behind us. We’ll lead with brotherhood and resolve — and always take care of the franchise, characters, and fans that we love.”
But the frosty Golden Globes moment suggests there may still be some lingering tension between the pair.
Social media quickly lit up with reactions. One user quipped, “You can cut the tension between The Rock and Vin Diesel with a knife,” while another joked, “Tonight we got to see what The Rock looks like when he’s fantasizing about tearing Vin Diesel in half.”
As fans dissect this latest interaction, one thing is clear: the Dwayne-Vin saga continues to intrigue audiences, both on and off-screen.
