Vin Diesel Explains The Rock Feud: I Gave ‘Tough Love’ to Get His Acting ‘Where It Needed to Be’

[saintclaire87]

Vin Diesel says his feud with The Rock originated because he wanted The Rock’s acting to improve: “We had to get there and sometimes, I could give a lot of tough love. Not Felliniesque but I would do anything I’d have to do in order to get performances in anything I’m producing.” pic.twitter.com/XM1XChUB2g

Was Fellini hard to work for? I’m not understanding his reference here.

They should get naked, oil up and wrestle it out.

different strokes, I guess.

I mean who ever hires the Rock for his acting nuance? If you hire him you want him as the Rock.

One could argue the same for Vin unless you count Groot which was the most nuanced he has ever been but I'm not sure if that is actually due to some voice production magic.

Groot being his best acting performance is something i absolutely hate thinking about
