The filming of Fast 8 is about to come to an end, and apparently, the Rock couldn’t be happier. In a recent Instagram post, he spoke about great Universal and his female co-stars have been during the filming of the latest installment of the franchise, but went on to blast his male co-stars saying:

“My male co-stars, however, are a different story. Some conduct themselves as stand-up men and true professionals, while others don't.” and, it gets even better, as he went on to say, “The ones that don't are too chicken shit to do anything about it anyway. Candy asses.”

You know, a kind of like a man-child. Then again, another part of me wonders just what it would be like to see Vin Diesel and The Rock throw down in real life. They’re both pretty big dudes, and I’m betting it would be an interesting fight. Sure, we’ll probably never see it – I’m sure they both conduct themselves as professionals – but if it were to happen, I wouldn’t mind seeing it.
