Vin Diesel, the American actor, has publicly pleaded with Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson to return to the ‘Fast & Furious’ franchise despite their differences.
The pair have reportedly not been on good terms since the beginning of 2019.
The former wrestler, who portrayed Hobbs in four ‘Fast and Furious’ movies from 2011 to 2019, had famously quit the franchise in July.
“I wish them well on Fast 9, and I wish them the best of luck on Fast 10 and Fast 11 and the rest of the Fast & Furious movies they do that will be without me,”
The Rock had told The Hollywood Reporter. But on Sunday, Diesel took to his Instagram page to extend an olive branch to his co-star in the hope that it will lure him back to the franchise.
“My little brother Dwayne… the time has come. The world awaits the finale of Fast 10,” he wrote, alongside a photo of their characters.
“As you know, my children refer to you as Uncle Dwayne in my house.
“There is not a holiday that goes by that they and you don’t send well wishes… but the time has come. Legacy awaits. I told you years ago that I was going to fulfil my promise to Pablo.
“I swore that we would reach and manifest the best Fast in the finale that is 10! I say this out of love… but you must show up, do not leave the franchise idle you have a very important role to play.
“Hobbs can’t be played by any other. I hope that you rise to the occasion and fulfil your destiny.”
