00:00Vin Diesel praises Dwayne Johnson for The Smashing Machine after ending Feud.
00:05Vin Diesel praised Dwayne Johnson's performance as Mark Kerr in The Smashing Machine,
00:11the Benny Softee-directed biographical drama exploring Kerr's personal and professional struggles in the 1990s.
00:17Vin Diesel, who shared the screen with Johnson in multiple Fast and Furious films,
00:22recently took to Instagram to praise The Smashing Machine and its lead actor.
00:26The actor posted a lengthy message along with a behind-the-scenes photo of himself and Johnson.
00:32One of the greatest gifts in life isn't something you can buy, it's the relationships forged along the way.
00:38What most people don't realize is that Mark Kerr was one of the first friends I made when I moved from New York to California.
00:44That's the kind of friend he's been from day one.
00:47Vin Diesel fondly remembers his on-screen pairing with Dwayne Johnson.
00:52Let me celebrate Dwayne.
00:53Upholding a global image daily isn't easy, yet he committed fully.
00:58A fan once wished for us to collaborate, and it led to one of cinema's most dynamic pairings.
01:04When he stepped into Hobbs, he gave everything and left an indelible mark on Universal's character legacy.
01:11Speaking of Hall of Fame,
01:12Watching Mark Kerr get inducted into the UFC Hall of Fame because his story was finally told was such a proud moment.
01:21This is a man who would often tell me about the kids he was teaching to wrestle, to fight, to take ownership of their lives usually for no money at all.
01:29The fact that Mark Coleman was included in the film was such a treat, and Bass Rutten's performance was stellar.
01:35Mark Kerr is so deserving of this moment, and Dwayne really did it.
01:40He brought us back in time and shined doing it.
01:42Proud of you both.
01:44The feud between Vin Diesel and Dwayne Johnson
01:46Vin Diesel and Dwayne Johnson's high-profile feud began nearly a decade ago,
01:51despite first collaborating on 2011's Fast Five, where Johnson debuted as DSS agent-turned-bounty hunter Luke Hobbs.
02:00Things appeared smooth as Johnson returned for the sixth and seventh films,
02:04but behind-the-scenes tension led him to publicly call out Diesel in a now-deleted post.
02:09The two have since reconciled, with Johnson returning as Hobbs in a 2023 Fast X mid-credits scene.
