Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson is accusing Vin Diesel of “manipulation” for taking to social media to request he return to the “Fast and the Furious” franchise.

Johnson, who has said in the past he would not return to the action-packed series as Luke Hobbs, told CNN in a new interview that he was “surprised” by Diesel’s November post because they already had discussed in private Johnson’s permanent departure.

“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,” Johnson, 49, explained.

“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.”
