The Rock's male Fast 8 co-stars have been left stunned after the actor called them out for being divas in a Facebook rant on Monday.

Dwayne Johnson, 44, who stars alongside Vin Diesel, Scott Eastwood and Jason Statham in the latest installment of the Fast And Furious action franchise, slammed his colleagues as unprofessional 'candy asses'.

While he didn't name names, production insiders now say that the guys are very annoyed, especially as there's still a week and a half to go until filming wraps.

TMZ reports that the male stars of the show are 'pissed' at Dwayne for obliquely calling them out, so now they are all suspects.

Done and dusted: Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson took to Facebook on Monday to vent his relief that filming of Fast 8 was finally coming to an end

As filming resumed on Tuesday one source told the website: 'This is a hell of a way to end it'

There have apparently been clashes of 'extreme egos' amongst the biggest male stars on set but an insider eliminated Tyrese and Ludacris from the list of suspects.

The Rock has not yet clarified his comments so the actors have been left wondering who it is who's caused his 'blood to boil'.

Another source told TMZ Tuesday that there will be some clarification on social media later in the day.

In his post on Monday The Rock had plenty of praise for actresses Charlize Theron, Jordana Brewster and Michelle Rodriguez, but he vented his relief that filming for the movie was finally coming to an end.

He said that apart from working with Charlize, Jordana and Michelle and a great behind the scenes crew, the experience genuinely made his 'blood boil'.

Along with a short video showing a fight scene from the film, he posted: 'This is my final week of shooting Fast & Furious 8. There's no other franchise that gets my blood boiling more than this one.

'An incredible hard working crew. Universal Studios Entertainment has been great partners as well. My female co-stars are always amazing and I love 'em. My male co-stars however are a different story (sic).

'Some conduct themselves as stand up men and true professionals, while others don't. The ones that don't are too chicken s**t to do anything about it anyway. Candy asses.'

Method acting: Johnson believes the tension on set has actually improved his performance in the film, where he plays the Government bounty hunter Luke Hobbs

However, Johnson believes the tension on set has actually improved his performance in the film, in which he plays the Government bounty hunter Luke Hobbs.

He explained: 'When you watch this movie next April and it seems like I'm not acting in some of these scenes and my blood is legit boiling - you're right.

'Bottom line is it'll play great for the movie and fits this Hobbs character that's embedded in my DNA extremely well.

Though his cast mates haven't commented on his rant, Scott Eastwood recently admitted he doesn't understand why his co-stars always go back to their trailers after filming a scene.

He explained that his famous father, legendary actor and director Clint Eastwood, always advised him not to retreat to his private space during shooting.
