Dwayne Johnson clarifies he never misbehaved on set but has come late at times, peed in bottles

In a new interview, Dwayne Johnson aka The Rock has agreed to coming late to set sometimes and even peeing in bottles but he dismisses all rumours that he misbehaves on the set. There were rumours earlier in the year that Dwayne Johnson’s behaviour on the set was questionable and his tardiness led to the increase in the budget of his new Christmas movie Red One. The same led to an increase in the budget ultimately making it a $250 million film. Reports suggested that Dwayne could be as much as eight hours late to set some days. 

Admitting to GQ, Dwayne said that he sometimes comes late to the set. He said, “Yeah, that happens. But not that amount, by the way. That was a bananas amount. That’s crazy. Ridiculous.”

Dwayne Johnson clarifies all rumours

On rumours of him peeing in bottles, Dwayne said, “Yeah. That happens…I’ve said a thousand times: ‘Hey, I’m here. Come and ask me. And I’ll tell you the truth.’”

Dwayne, however, dismissed all other rumours and said the rest of it was “bulls***.” 

Meanwhile, his Red One director Jake Kasdan and co-star Chris Evans agreed that the actor was mostly on time. Jake Kasdan said, “[Dwayne] never missed a day of work ever. He has a lot going on. He can be late sometimes, but such is Hollywood — that’s the case with everybody. Honestly, I’ve made three big movies with him. I’ve never seen him be anything but great to every single person on the set.”

Captain America actor Chris Evan agreed with Jake and added, “In terms of the guy that I saw, compared to some of the things I’ve seen on other movies with other actors who are not only not conscious of other people’s time and efforts, but they’re unpredictable? I found Dwayne to be — we all know exactly what he’s going to do when he’s going to do it.”

Chris explained that Dwayne would come to work after his workout in the mornings. He said, “But this is something that the producers, the director, and it’s all his team, so they all know this. So it’s all basic. It’s not like he’s late unexpectedly, and I wouldn’t even call it late. He comes in slightly later on certain mornings, but it’s part of the plan. It’s worked into the schedules and everyone knows it, so he shows up when he’s scheduled to show up.”
