Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson doesn't half-ass anything, especially when it comes to his characters. It's what has made him the world's most paid actor.

But it turns out, sometimes he doesn't need to do much more than be himself on screen.

In a new short Facebook clip, The Rock takes us back to his wrestling days on the set of the eighth Fast & Furious film. The video shows him flipping an actor on set, but it's the caption that explains how connected he is to the character—and his distaste for some unnamed colleagues.

In the post, The Rock praises the franchise and his female co-stars, but has some choice words for a few of his male co-stars.

"Some conduct themselves as stand up men and true professionals, while others don't," he wrote. "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."

"The ones that don't are too chicken shit to do anything about it anyway," he said before then calling his some of his male co-stars "candy asses."

"Bottom line is it'll play great for the movie and fits this Hobbs character that's embedded in my DNA extremely well," he explained. "The producer in me is happy about this part. Final week on FAST 8 and I will finish strong."

Welp.

Looks like we'll have to wait until April 17, 2017 for the film to release and see the tension for ourselves. Until then, we will just try to figure out who pissed off The Rock.
