The Rock elaborates on Vin Diesel feud by offering his definition of a "candy ass"
Dictionaries have failed us, but The Rock comes through

While making films about scowling men racing cars and punching one another in their scowling faces, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and Vin “The Tank Top” Diesel learned, quite publicly, that they don’t like each other much at all. And now, after years of revving their mouth-engines at each other through statements evoking Federico Fellini, the show Ballers, and, of course, the complicated nature of all family relationships, The Rock has decided to speak on the issue once more and offer us a working definition of the term “candy ass” in the process.

In a Vanity Fair profile, the candy ass post heard ‘round the world is introduced and contextualized as “one of The Rock’s trademark wrestling put-downs.” When asked how it relates to a co-star like Diesel, The Rock elaborates by stating that “a candy ass is something you don’t want to be.”
“The best way that I can describe a candy ass is: Life is so much easier, I have found, when you are not full of shit,” he continues, before really complicating the ass-centric metaphor with, “And a candy ass is completely full of shit.”



Since we all know whose sugary ass is filled with shit in this scenario, The Rock goes on to say that, despite being our two foremost musclebound, shiny-headed actors, he and Vin Diesel are “philosophically two different people, and we approach the business of moviemaking in two very different ways.”

He goes on to passive aggressively say that he looks “at everybody as equal partners” in a project, whether that means a studio, co-star of varying fame, or member of the crew.


The Rock says that actually he doesn’t like having public arguments (while discussing this public argument) but that he stands by calling Diesel a candy ass. He also comments on Diesel’s assertion that The Rock is like a brother to him by saying “I have one big brother and it’s my half brother” and, when it comes to the Fellini quote, “Johnson at first simply bellows with laughter.”

Then, quoted in full, he continues:
“One part of me feels like there’s no way I would dignify any of that bullshit with an answer. But here’s the truth. I’ve been around the block a lot of times. Unlike him, I did not come from the world of theater. And, you know, I came up differently and was raised differently. And I came from a completely different culture and environment. And I go into every project giving it my all. And if I feel that there’s some things that need to be squared away and handled and taken care of, then I do it. And it’s just that simple. So when I read that, just like everybody else, I laughed. I laughed hard. We all laughed. And somewhere I’m sure Fellini is laughing too.”

Perhaps this isn’t quite as rough as being called a candy ass, but it’s close.

Dwayne Johnson says the Vin Diesel jokes in his movies aren't his idea

The actor does acknowledge that the jokes about his Fast costar "play great" to audiences.

Dwayne Johnson's once red-hot feud with Vin Diesel has cooled to the tune of a few lighthearted jokes about his Fast franchise costar making their way into his movies, but the Red Notice actor has revealed he can't take credit for their inclusion in his new projects.

"The jokes never end. People were asking me about that and they just find a way. It's interesting, these Vin Diesel jokes — which play great, by the way, to the audience, which is always a good thing, because it's really all about them — but people think these jokes come from me and they actually don't," Johnson said during a recent interview on The Jess Cagle Show. "You'd be surprised with how many people come to me with, 'I've got a great one! I've got another great Vin Diesel joke!' I'm sure you do. It's always funny."


The latest jab appears in his new Netflix action flick Red Notice, which sees the cast joking about Diesel auditioning for a role in the beloved musical Cats.
Reports of a feud between Johnson and Diesel began in 2016, during production on the Fast & Furious series' eighth installment. In an Instagram post, he referred to some of his colleagues — which many assumed to be Diesel — as "candy asses," adding: "When you watch this movie next April and it seems like I'm not acting in some of these scenes and my blood is legit boiling — you're right."

Diesel responded in 2017, telling USA Today: "I think some things may be blown out of proportion. I don't think that was his intention. I know he appreciates how much I work [for] this franchise. In my house, he's Uncle Dwayne."

In a subsequent interview with Rolling Stone, Johnson clarified that he and Diesel had a "fundamental difference in philosophies on how we approach moviemaking and collaborating."

In June, Diesel again addressed the conflict, noting that he gave "tough love to assist in getting that performance where it needed to be" while filming the Fast series with Johnson. Speaking to Vanity Fair for its November cover story, Johnson said the moment he shared the initial Instagram post addressing an on-set clash in a public manner wasn't his "best day," but he stood by the sentiment.

Red Notice — also starring Gal Gadot and Ryan Reynolds — opens in theaters Friday ahead of its Nov. 12 streaming debut on Netflix. Watch Johnson discuss his Diesel jokes above.
 
Uncle Dwayne Isn’t Coming Home to Fast 10

You could say Dwayne Johnson is a little, er, furious about his invite back to the Fast & Furious franchise. Back in November, star Vin Diesel wrote on Instagram asking Johnson, who played Lucas Hobbs in films five through eight plus the spinoff Hobbs & Shaw, to return for the tenth and final installment. “The time has come,” Diesel wrote. “Legacy awaits.” Now, in a new interview with CNN, Johnson confirmed he won’t be returning to Fast 10 — and he’d already told Diesel that before his social-media post. “This past June, when Vin and I actually connected not over social media, I told him directly — and privately — that I would not be returning to the franchise,” Johnson said, adding he was “surprised by” the post. “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 two previously bristled on set of the eighth film, The Fate of the Furious, per reports at the time, with Johnson calling Diesel a “candy ass” in an infamous Instagram post.

The actor, who starred in Jungle Cruise and Red Notice this year, went on to criticize Diesel’s plea. “Vin’s recent public post was an example of his manipulation,” he said. “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.” Diesel mentioned that Johnson is “Uncle Dwayne” at his house and that he wanted to “fulfill my promise to” Walker, the franchise star who died in 2013.

“My goal all along was to end my amazing journey with this incredible Fast & Furious franchise with gratitude and grace,” Johnson continued. “It’s unfortunate that this public dialogue has muddied the waters. Regardless, I’m confident in the Fast universe and its ability to consistently deliver for the audience, and I truly wish my former co-stars and crew members the best of luck and success in the next chapter.”

This just reaffirms, most people have a line......and once it's crossed, there's no coming back.

Obviously Vin did something to cross that line and from the sound of things.....he's a repeat offender, so we as fans suffer in the end
