Vin Diesel has posted a strong message to Dwayne Johnson amid a long-running feud between the acting pair.
While the actors starred in many Fast and Furious films together, they didn't always see eye to eye on set.
A feud between the pair has seemingly gone on for many years, but now, Vin Diesel has seemingly indicated that things are all patched up, after he took to Instagram to share a throwback photo of them on set.
In the post, Vin Diesel reflected on his relationship with The Rock and praised the 53-year-old for his recent performance as Mark Kerr in The Smashing Machine.

"One of the greatest gifts in life isn’t something you can buy, it’s the relationships forged along the way," he wrote.
"And let me celebrate Dwayne. People don’t understand what it takes to uphold a global perception every single day. I remember asking our global family who they’d love to see me work with, and a woman named Jan left a comment saying her dream was for me to collaborate with Dwayne.
"What followed became one of the most dynamic pairings in cinema, two strong personalities who pushed each other and created something unforgettable. When he stepped into Hobbs, he did it with full commitment and left an indelible mark on Universal’s character hall of fame."
Vin Diesel went on to say he is 'proud' of his Fast and Furious co-star, and acknowledged his performance in The Smashing Machine.
"Dwayne really did it… He brought us back in time and shined doing it," Vin Diesel added.
This came as a surprise for fans, as the actors have had rumoured beef, especially as Johnson apparently branded his former co-star a 'cand ya**' in a post to Instagram a few years ago, before quitting the Fast and Furious franchise altogether.
The since-deleted post, which was shared ahead of the release of 2017 release The Fate of The Furious, read: "My female co-stars are always amazing and I love ’em.
"My male co-stars however are a different story. Some conduct themselves as stand-up men and true professionals, while others don’t.
"The ones that don’t are too chicken s**t to do anything about it anyway. Candy a**es.
"When you watch this movie next April and it seems like I’m not acting in some of these scenes and my blood is legit boiling - you’re right. #ZeroToleranceForCandyA**es."
The former WWE star later apologised for his remarks, saying it wasn't his 'best day' and that he should have kept quiet.
