Dwayne Johnson Just Opened Up About Those Vin Diesel Jokes In Red Notice

In a recent interview on "The Jess Cagle Show," Johnson was asked about a Vin Diesel joke that reportedly appears in "Red Notice" (via IndieWire). In response to Cagle's suggestion that the joke could "set everything off again," Johnson laughed and said, "The jokes never end," later commenting that while people often think that the Diesel-directed jokes come from him, "they actually don't."

Johnson further noted that he knows that the "always funny" jokes play well with fans and added that it's "always a good thing because it's all about [the audience]."

Johnson has previously poked fun at his former co-star in the 2019 biographical sports film "Fighting with My Family," in which Johnson appears as himself (via MTV). In the film, Johnson makes an unexpected phone call to a wrestling fan who reacts with disbelief that Johnson is actually calling him. The fan, played by Nick Frost, responds with a sarcastic quip of "Yeah? And I'm Vin Diesel, mate." Johnson laughs and replies, "Let's hope not."

"Red Notice" is scheduled for a limited theatrical release on November 5 and will premiere on Netflix on November 12.
