In episode #74 of The Joe Rogan Experience, Rogan sat down with Brendan Schaub. The podcaster, a staunch supporter of The Rock, expressed his allegiance by saying, “I’m on team The Rock – all day every day.” But he couldn’t ignore the animosity between The Rock and Vin Diesel, asking, “Him[Diesel] and the Rock don’t get along, do they?”
Schaub confirmed their intense dislike for each other, stating, “They hate each other… I heard Rock was a big diva on set.” Rogan, seemingly taken aback, questioned, “Rock is a big diva?”
Schaub affirmed his statements, saying that’s what he had heard from people who were on the set. He added, “Just that, you know – the Rock sometimes shows up late – and there’s trailers and he wanted the biggest trailer and I’ve seen Vin Diesel, you know – he’s Mr. f**king Fast and Furious…”
During their discussion, Rogan and Schaub also shed light on rumors of strict rules the ‘Fast and Furious’ cast had to follow on the set.
