Updated on Aug 5, 2019 at 1:33 PM

Dwayne Johnson and Jason Statham are gracing our screens again in the Fast and Furious spinoff, Hobbs & Shaw, after starring together in 2017's Furious 7. Even though Dwayne and Jason's characters don't exactly get along in the film, they actually have quite the cute bromance in real life. In addition to sharing hugs and smiles during public outings, Dwayne and Jason recently opened up about their friendship in an interview with Entertainment Weekly. "I think me and Dwayne share a very similar sense of humor," Jason said. "The only difference in us is the amount of weight he pushes when he's doing a bench press."

Dwayne also joked about their friendship while speaking with Extra at the Hobbs & Shaw premiere in LA. "This relationship that I have with Jason is a lot of fun," he joked. "With a guy like that . . . his ego is so big, like his head, you just got to placate the star." See some of Dwayne and Jason's best moments together ahead!
