  • Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson

    The eighth installment of the Fast and the Furious franchise is coming next April, and you can count on there being some ridiculous cars, pretty ladies, unrealistic stunts, and of course, baby oil. That baby oil will be courtesy of a fan favorite, Hobbs, played by Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson. Johnson announced via a Facebook post that filming for Fast 8 has just wrapped up and he couldn't be happier. But that's not all he said. No sir. He went on a rant about how he's actually happy it's done filming because there's no other franchise that gets his blood boiling more. ALSO SEE: Vin Diesel's...
