Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson Breaks Silence on Controversial On-Set Behavior
Dwayne JohnsonIn a candid interview with GQ magazine, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson addressed recent controversies surrounding his behavior on the set of his upcoming movie "Red One". The headlines broke when reports emerged claiming the actor's chronic tardiness and unusual habit of urinating in bottles had significantly impacted the film's budget and schedule.
Johnson, renowned for his roles in blockbuster hits and his WWE persona as "The Final Boss", did not shy away from confronting these allegations. He admitted to urinating in bottles on set, a practice he has apparently employed to save time when facilities are unavailable. "I pee in a bottle", Johnson confirmed. "Yeah, that happens". He elaborated that, in such situations, getting back to work quickly was a priority.
Regarding accusations of chronic tardiness, which some reports suggested added $50 million to the "Red One" budget, Johnson acknowledged occasional delays but dismissed the figures as exaggerated. "Yeah, that happens", he admitted, "But not that amount, by the way. That was a bananas amount. That’s crazy. Ridiculous".
Backing him up, director Jake Kasdan clarified that Johnson was always consistent and professional, stating, "He never missed a day of work ever. He can be late sometimes, but such is Hollywood — that’s the case with everybody". Chris Evans, Johnson's co-star, echoed these sentiments, saying that he found Johnson to be predictable and respectful on set.
While the controversy sparked significant buzz, Johnson maintained his practice of honesty and transparency. He has previously spoken about his unique bathroom habits, noting that in environments like gyms where restrooms might be lacking, improvised solutions become necessary.
Ultimately, both Kasdan and Evans portray Johnson as a dedicated actor whose dedication occasionally leads him to take unconventional shortcuts, but who remains committed and professional in his craft.
