Setting the Record Straight: Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson Talks Late Arrivals and Bottle Peeing | VIDEO

YouTube video

*Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, the action star and Hollywood heavyweight, recently addressed a flurry of chatter surrounding his behavior on set, particularly rumors claiming his late arrivals and unconventional bathroom habits have been costing productions millions.

In a pretty candid interview with GQ, Johnson acknowledged some truths about his methods while firmly denying that his actions have financially jeopardized his latest film, “Red One.”

The whispers began earlier in the year when an article emerged alleging that Johnson’s tardiness during filming for “Red One,” an upcoming Christmas movie in which he portrays Santa Claus’ bodyguard, had resulted in significant production delays and inflated costs by as much as $250 million. The idea of Johnson resorting to urinating in bottles to save time only added fuel to the fire.

“Yeah. That happens,” he candidly admitted, acknowledging his occasional need to relieve himself while on set. He continued, “That happens too,” about the claims of being late. However, he quickly refutes the reported financial repercussions, asserting, “That was a banana amount.”

Johnson is not facing these rumors alone. Crew members from “Red One,” including director Jake Kasdan, have come to Johnson’s defense. Kasdan pointed out that everyone in Hollywood runs late occasionally, and affirmed that Johnson was consistently present, never missing a single day of filming. He praised the superstar’s treatment of the crew, emphasizing the positive atmosphere Johnson created on set.

Co-star Chris Evans chimed in with an anecdote of Johnson’s generosity, recounting a day when a crew raffle’s payout grew significantly, thanks to the action star adding more to the pot—amounting to a staggering six figures by the day’s end. Fans of Johnson are likely not surprised by this revelation, given his lighthearted admission earlier in 2017 during a gym session, when he jokingly showcased a bottle filled with yellow liquid, stating:

“I don’t have time to go to the bathroom, I find a bottle, I pee in it, and I keep training like a beast.”

This humorous yet candid approach to the demands of his lifestyle adds a layer of relatability to the larger-than-life persona he embodies.

Whether filming on a bustling movie set or hitting the gym, Dwayne Johnson’s work ethic is undeniable. The actor’s focus on professionalism is clear; he continues to thrive in a high-pressure environment without letting the rumors get in the way of his productivity.
