A day after Vin Diesel took a shady shot at Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson over his ‘Fast and Furious’ spin-off, it looks like Vin has had a change of heart.
He took to Instagram to share a lengthy post reminiscing on filming and takes credit for getting The Rock his job as ‘Hobbs’ in the first place.
He writes:
Brotherhood… and all it’s complexities. This scene was filmed in Puerto Rico, I can remembering it like it was yesterday. Such a beautiful island, the people were so warm and welcoming. I turned 43 that summer… and my son Vincent was born.
A woman named Jan Kelly responded to a question I had asked on Facebook, ‘who they would like to see me work with?’ She said would love to see me work with Dwayne… I listened to her request and he became Hobbs.
I know there has been a lot of speculation as to why the Fast 9 release date was pushed… but it would be unfair to say it is anyone’s fault.
As we plot the course to expand the Fast & Furious universe, one must be mindful to take stock of the roads we took to get here. The pillars of authenticity, family and most importantly, our loyal fan’s perspective has been instrumental in procuring success.
However, like any vehicle that has run around the globe 8 times, the franchise is need of maintenance. My good friend and the godfather of Universal, Ron Meyer has granted me the time to do just that. We have some very exciting news to share soon… stay tuned.
Yours truly, Dom

Vin Diesel better stay on the winning team — because clearly The Rock has favor over in ‘Fast and Furious’ land.
