The Rock's Fast and Furious role was written for Tommy Lee Jones
Vin Diesel is great for sharing on social media, and his most recent video comes with the revelation that the role of Special Agent Hobbs in the Fast and Furious franchise was originally written for Tommy Lee Jones.
Fast Five could have had a very different take on the role, but the fans spoke up, requesting that Vin Diesel do a movie with Dwayne Johnson. The part was rewritten and Vin Diesel backed his co-star, saying that he “shined in it.” Johnson has been a major part of the franchise ever since.
