Tyrese Gibson is 'emotional wreck' after “Fast X ”costars Vin Diesel, Michelle Rodriguez surprise him
Gibson was moved to tears when his "Fast & Furious" costars surprised him on the red carpet for the premiere of his new movie "1992."
Tyrese Gibson is all about family — and that's Family with a capital F.
The Fast & Furious franchise star became "an emotional wreck" after his Fast X costars Vin Diesel and Michelle Rodriguez surprised him on the red carpet at the premiere of his new movie 1992 on Wednesday night.
"I won’t be named dropping today some people don’t even need the name dropped…." Gibson wrote on Instagram with photos of Diesel and Rodriguez with him on the red carpet. "Last night I was an emotional wreck because one thing about me and this is not pride or ego my relationships and my friendships with some of the most powerful and significant people out. There are not abused don’t obligate them to anything. There is no manipulation or trying to force anyone to show up for me for anything."

Gibson went on to describe how he's "always been very very, very, very independent and self-sufficient" to the point where he'll "fall flat on [his] face" and "embarrass" himself before asking for help.
"I don’t need help and I don’t obligate anyone to show up for my dreams," he added. "So you could imagine everyone’s busy everyone’s kids and family and traveling and respectfully most of the most significant people I know are always gone always traveling always got a lot going on, so as much as we’d like to see each other connect it doesn’t happen as often as we want to."
