It doesn’t take greater than a quick look on the “Quick & Livid” movies to see how a lot testosterone is packed into each body. Quick automobiles, big explosions, bulging muscular tissues, scantily-clad girls — the franchise is saturated with a lot “dudes rock” power that it will probably barely be contained on the display.
So it comes as no shock that the stars of the movies convey their aggressive natures to their off-camera antics along with their posturing on-camera. Whereas precise animosity between the actors can definitely occur (and has), that competitiveness can present itself in different, extra entertaining methods.
That’s precisely what occurred on the set of 2019’s “Quick & Livid Presents: Hobbs & Shaw,” the franchise’s first (and, so far, solely) spin-off entry starring Dwayne Johnson as Luke Hobbs and Jason Statham as Deckard Shaw.
The place the movie itself sees Hobbs and Shaw in a perpetual state of annoyance with one another within the model of many a mismatched comedy duo, Johnson sought to take care of a special form of one-upmanship with Statham in actual life, waging a secret warfare on his co-star that had one explicit aim: make Statham chuckle as a lot as doable.

Whereas choosing on a fellow actor not recognized for his or her bodily prowess could also be one factor, Johnson had no qualms about persevering with his penchant for pranks and teasing when confronted with a co-star very well-known for kicking ass and taking names, Jason Statham. Whereas the characters of Hobbs and Shaw started as bitter antagonists within the “Quick & Livid” movies, starting with Deckard’s first look in “Livid 7,” their reluctant team-up in “The Destiny of the Livid” noticed their relationship morph from enemies to frenemies, which is the place they start in “Hobbs & Shaw.”
