Fast & Furious: Vin Diesel asks The Rock to return

It comes after a very public feud between the two Hollywood heavyweights.

In an Instagram post, Vin said The Rock has "a very important role to play", adding that his character Hobbs could not be played by anyone else.

"I hope you rise to the occasion and fulfil your destiny," Vin, who plays the lead role of Dominic Torreto, wrote.

The Rock (aka Dwayne Johnson) joined the Fast & Furious franchise as Agent Hobbs in Fast Five in 2011 - but the 49-year-old didn't appear in the most recent film and has previously said he wouldn't appear in future films.

The Rock marries girlfriend Lauren Hashian in Hawaii

The 47-year-old announced the news on Instagram to his 154 million followers.

The pair have been dating since 2006, when they reportedly met while he was filming his movie The Game Plan, and have two children together - Jasmine, born in 2015 and Tiana in 2018.

His photos were liked more than seven million times within three hours of posting.

Being one of the biggest film stars in the world, The Rock (real name Dwayne Johnson) was congratulated by Hollywood A-listers when he posted about the surprise wedding.

The Rock called upon to lead Pacific rugby franchise

Simon Anderson has launched a social media campaign targetting Johnson by getting thousands of rugby fans to tag the former professional wrestler and now movie star across social media channels to get him to look at a proposal video promoting a Pacific franchise.

Anderson said the current structure of rugby administration does not favour the Pacific but Johnson's marketability could unify the world around Super Rugby expansion

Vin Diesel named 2017's biggest box office draw

Forbes has put Diesel and The Rock top of its list of the year's top-grossing actors, largely thanks to the success of The Fate of the Furious.

Gadot is in third place after appearing in Wonder Woman and Justice League.

And Emma Watson is fourth - her version of Beauty and the Beast was the year's biggest earner at global box offices.

Johnny Depp is in the top five, one place ahead of his Murder on the Orient Express co-star Daisy Ridley, who has Star Wars: The Last Jedi counting towards her total.

The Rock puts muscle behind boot camp in HBO documentary

Dwayne Johnson, a.k.a. The Rock, lends his celebrity to the similarly themed "Rock and a Hard Place," which hews closer to reality TV than most of HBO's nonfiction efforts.

The film centers on the Miami-Dade County Corrections & Rehabilitation Boot Camp Program, which seeks to break the "cycle of incarceration" by putting 38 young men, all facing prison sentences for serious crimes, through a 16-week boot camp conducted by military personnel.

The Rock Announces He Will Appear at WWE WrestleMania 32

Dwayne Johnson opens up about depression battle

The Furious 7 star admits he struggled to relate to anyone but over time learned to realise he wasn't alone.

He said: "I found that with depression one of the most important things you could realise is that you're not alone.

"You're not the first to go through it, you're not going to be the last to go through it and often you feel like you're alone and you feel like it's only you and you're in your bubble. I wish I had someone at that time who could just pull me aside and [say], 'Hey, it's going to be okay.'"

The Rock Not Expected To Compete At WWE WrestleMania 32

The Wrestling Observer Newsletter notes that The Rock was originally scheduled to face Triple H in a match, but WWE’s creative team was told that The Rock and his friend Ronda Rousey now won’t be involved in any matches.

Since there is an injury risk associated with pro wrestling, the producers behind The Rock’s movie had an issue with him doing any kind of pro wrestling either before or while filming was going on. It’s easy to see why a movie company would feel that way since The Rock has picked up several injuries in last few matches.
