Everyone and their mothers know about Dwayne Johnson and Vin Diesel’s feud in Hollywood that started on the Fast series set. The two monoliths of action movies don’t enjoy each other’s company, which led to Johnson’s backing out of the series. But this only makes the scenes between the two ready for meme material.

Talking about Fast series memes, there is one scene from the Fast and Furious 6 that involves both of them which practically broke the internet. Also, that scene brought both actors a considerable amount of embarrassment.

The clip in question is when Dom Toretto and Hobbs meet, but they don’t face each other. Instead, the two stand parallel to each other, facing in front instead of each other. When the camera pans to show Diesel’s side, it feels like Diesel is larger than Johnson. But then, the camera pans to The Rock’s side and Johnson looks like Goliath to Diesel’s David. But it reverses as the camera pans to Diesel’s side.

In reality, Johnson is considerably larger than Diesel. Johnson is 6’5″ compared to Diesel’s 5’11”. This camera angling might have been a mistake by the producers in the editing room. Might be that they were trying to show the two actors at the same level, but it colossally failed and the internet caught it with their arms wide open.

There have been many instances where the feud moved forward, but where do the duo stand at the moment?

Being two of the best action movie stars right now, fans were excited to watch them appear together in Fast Five in 2011. But the pair fell out in 2017 when Johnson posted a cryptic social media message pointing out male members of the cast.

But things seem to have cooled down between the two, as Johnson has finally returned to the franchise in Fast X. For fans all over the world, this is an enormous victory to see two of the biggest action stars in one movie once again.
