Former World Wrestling Federation (WWF) wrestler turned actor Dwayne Johnson has turned down an offer to return to the set of the movie ‘Fast & Furious 10 and 11’.

The actor who made the declaration during an interview with CNN after costar Vin Diesel asked him to return in a plea he made on Instagram said that Diesel’s move is “an example of his manipulation.”

He said; “I was very surprised by Vin’s recent post. This past June, when Vin and I actually connected not over social media, I told him directly — and privately — that I would not be returning to the franchise. I was firm yet cordial with my words and said that I would always be supportive of the cast and always root for the franchise to be successful, but that there was no chance I would return. I privately spoke with my partners at Universal as well, all of whom were very supportive as they understand the problem.

“I didn’t like that he brought up his children in the post, as well as Paul Walker’s death. Leave them out of it.

“We had spoken months ago about this and came to a clear understanding. My goal all along was to end my amazing journey with this incredible Fast & Furious franchise with gratitude and grace.

“It’s unfortunate that this public dialogue has muddied the waters. Regardless, I’m confident in the Fast universe and its ability to consistently deliver for the audience, and I truly wish my former costars and crew members the best of luck and success in the next chapter,” Dwayne Johnson added.
