In a shocking turn of events, legendary actor Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson has lashed out at acclaimed director Mel Gibson over comments made about the highly anticipated film “Sound of Freedom”.
It all started when Gibson, known for his controversial public statements, allegedly made disparaging remarks about the upcoming thriller starring Jim Caviezel.
Gibson was quoted as saying the film was “nothing more than cheap propaganda” and that he “wouldn’t be caught dead” watching it.
This incendiary commentary did not sit well with The Rock, who is not only an executive producer on “Sound of Freedom” but also a close friend of the lead actor Caviezel.
In a fiery Instagram live session, Johnson directly addressed Gibson’s criticism, warning the Oscar-winning director to “choose his words wisely” or face unspecified consequences.
“Mel Gibson needs to shut his pie hole about ‘Sound of Freedom’,” The Rock declared. “Jim Caviezel is one of the most respected actors in the industry and this film is going to be nothing short of exceptional.
If Mel wants to run his mouth, he better be prepared for me to come right back at him. I won’t tolerate any disrespect towards this project or my friend Jim.”
The tension between the two Hollywood heavyweights has certainly raised eyebrows across the entertainment landscape.
Fans are eagerly awaiting to see if this war of words will escalate further or if cooler heads will prevail.
One thing is certain – the impending release of “Sound of Freedom” is shaping up to be one of the most talked-about events of the summer.
