Hollywood star Vin Diesel has praised his “Fast & Furious” franchise co-star Dwayne Johnson for his performance in filmmaker Benny Safdie’s “The Smashing Machine”.
Diesel, who had a years-long feud with Johnson before they buried the hatchet in 2023, shared a long post on Instagram along with a throwback photo from the sets of their 2015 film “Furious 7′.
“One of the greatest gifts in life isn’t something you can buy, it’s the relationships forged along the way,” wrote the actor.
Johnson has received universal praise for his performance in “The Smashing Machine” , a biographical sports drama about the legendary mixed martial artist Mark Kerr.
The film traces Kerr’s meteoric rise through the brutal world of no-holds-barred fighting while delving into his struggles with addiction, emotional turmoil and the pressure of fame.
Diesel recalled meeting Kerr when the actor moved from New York to California.
“Kerr was one of the first friends I made… We hit it off immediately, and the reason is simple: he is genuinely one of the kindest, most warm-hearted people you will ever meet,” he said, adding that Kerr helped him train for his 2002 film “xXx”. (PTI)
