Tyrese wants to make peace with the Rock

Gibson has said that he was not professional about the public fight

When two Hollywood biggies get into a fight over a big movie franchise what does it take for such a spat to be resolved? A public apology is definitely on the plate when the fight was public too.

Old friends singer Tyrese Gibson and actor Dwayne Johnson have been at loggerheads following their public spat about the future of the Fast & Furious franchise. Gibson has now admitted he went too far.

The two actors fell out last year when Gibson slammed Johnson’s decision to push on with a Fast & Furious spin-off, delaying the production of the ninth instalment of the film series.

Johnson confirmed he and Gibson had yet to speak about the drama during a recent appearance on TV chat show Watch What Happens Live sharing: “That whole thing with Tyrese, it was pretty disappointing because I’d been friends with Tyrese for a very long time.”

He said, “I always feel like a beef requires two people to actually jump in it. It was really one-sided, and he had voiced his opinion a lot on social media. Apparently, he was going through some stuff, too, in his personal life. But, no, we haven’t talked and I don’t see where we would and, to me, there’s no need to have a conversation,” Johnson said.

And now Gibson has opened up about the matter in a chat with Van Lathan for his podcast saying he was not “professional” or “cool”.

Gibson now freely says he may have gone too far, adding Johnson didn’t deserve much of what he said, “I don’t really recall anything that he either said directly or subliminally that was ever as big of a deal as the way I was going at him.”

Gibson has been part of 2 Fast 2 Furious, Fast Five, Fast & Furious 6, Furious 7, Fast & Furious: Supercharged (a short), and now will be in the newly announced Fast & Furious 9 in the role of Roman Pearce. The latest instalment is slated for a 2020 release.
