My FINAL WEEK of shooting #FastAndFurious. There's no greatness ever achieved alone.. it's always a team effort. We promised an epic prison break out for you guys and we delivered. HUGE THANK YOU to my ohana (family) stunt coordinator JJ Perry and his bad ass fearless stunt team - as well as my cousin and incredible stunt double @samoanstuntman. Thank you team for the willingness to "die hard" and drop your blood & sweat daily for our movie. #MyStuntBrothers #Loco4Life You guys reading this know how much I believe in the idea of TEAM EFFORT. That means respecting every person, their time and their value when they step on to my set or partner with our production company. And like with any team - that's a family - there's gonna be conflict. Family is gonna have differences of opinion and fundamental core beliefs. To me, conflict can be a good thing, when its followed by great resolution. I was raised on healthy conflict and welcome it. And like any family, we get better from it. At the end of the day me and #F8 co-stars all agree on the most important thing: Delivering an incredible movie to the world. #Fast8 #IcemanCometh #FamilyGrowth

The Fast and Furious 8 set has been a little more conflicted ever since The Rock let off some steam in a social media post, steam that was reportedly aimed at co-star Vin Diesel.

After a meeting between the two actors failed to resolve whatever issues they had, The Rock has taken to Instagram to share his thoughts on why conflict is all just part of the process, especially when it comes to family.

First, though, it was time to thank the incredible team for doing such a great job on Fast & Furious 8 as it starts to wrap up filming.

Rock doesn't share any details on what started this whole thing, other than the vague "fundamental beliefs" line, but he recognizes that these things are bound to happen in a familial environment, and that will only make them stronger as a unit.

Hopefully, both actors were able to find some resolution. If not, it's going to be an interesting press tour for Furious 8.

Fast & Furious 8 rolls into theaters on April 14th, 2017.
