Vin Diesel
Has a long history of being very controlling and demanding behind the scenes of the Fast & Furious franchise.
Diesel heavily clashed with co-star Dwayne Johnson on numerous films in the franchise, leading to a highly publicized feud between the two of them. Johnson only agreed to star in The Fate of the Furious (2017) on the condition that he shared no scenes with Diesel, and did not appear in F9: The Fast Saga (2021) as a result of the feud.
Diesel also allegedly sexually assaulted his assistant, Asta Jonasson, during the filming of Fast Five (2011). Jonasson claims she was fired from the production for rebuffing Diesel's advances.
Diesel also clashed with longtime franchise director Justin Lin during the production of Fast X (2023), causing Lin to abruptly quit the project a week after filming began.
It was later reported Diesel also clashed with co-star Jason Momoa, with Diesel allegedly blaming Momoa for the film's disappointing box office performance, saying his character was too goofy and alienated audiences. This was reportedly because Diesel was jealous of Momoa, as critics and audiences unanimously singled him out as the highlight of the film.
