TYRESE DWAYNE JOHNSON
Tyrese Gibson isn't afraid to address his compli- cated relationships on set.
In a new interview with TMZ's Van Lahan on Lathan's The Red Pill pod- cast, the 39-year-old actor addresses his public break- down last year, as well as ex- presses regret about his very public feud with Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson.
Last October, Gibson slammed his Fast and the Furious co-star on Insta- gram, blaming Johnson's spinoff movie for being the reason the franchise’s ninth film had a delayed release date. Later, he continued to take personal shots at Johnson on social media. Gibson now says he shouldn't have aired out his beef with 46-year-old John- son publicly.
"I found myself being the messenger on behalf of vari- ous people associated to the franchise, but stupid me was the only one who went pub- lic about those feelings,
which is my own fault," he says.” It's not professional, it's not cool."
Gibson says he hasn't spoken to Johnson person- ally about the feud, and blames his behavior on psy- chiatric medication he was taking at the time.
"I don't really recall any- thing that he either said di- rectly or subliminally being asbigadealasthewayIwas going at him which was not cool," he says. "There's a way of going about communicat- ing and dealing with issues. There's issues on all movie sets and TV shows. I do re- gret those psych meds and letting that stuff influence me. It's like being drunk, you gotta say exactly how you feel and you're not in your right state of mind."
Gibson stresses that he had no personal beef with Johnson, and not so subtly alluded to Johnson's other public feud with fellow Fast and the Furious star Vin Diesel.
