Brewster hopeful Johnson, Gibson will end feud
Fast & Furious actress Jordana Brewster refuses to take sides in Dwayne Johnson and Tyrese Gibson’s public spat.
The two actors fell out last month after Gibson pleaded with his castmate to ditch plans for a spin-off movie based around Johnson’s character Luke Hobbs. A short time after, Universal bosses confirmed a solo movie was in the works starring Johnson and Jason Statham, who has played Deckard Shaw in the franchise since 2013, with Gibson then taking to Instagram to accuse Johnson of holding up the release of Fast 9 and making the franchise about himself.
While the feud continues, original Fast & Furious star Brewster has revealed she’s been watching the drama unfold on social media just like everyone else.
“I mean, I’m following it on Instagram, too,” she told Us Weekly. “I think ultimately we’re all a family, we all love working together. So hopefully it’s all going to be OK in the end, but I’m watching like everybody else.”
When quizzed on whether Johnson could take on Gibson, the actress added: “I’m not getting embroiled in that, there is enough drama.”
The stand-alone Hobbs movie is slated for a 2019 release, while Fast & Furious 9 will hit cinemas in 2020, with Vin Diesel, Gibson and Lucas Black so far signed on to star.
Brewster last appeared in the seventh instalment in 2015 and played late actor Paul Walker’s onscreen girlfriend, Mia Toretto. WENN
