Actor-wrestler Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson faces scrutiny as The Wrap unveils an expose detailing his alleged unprofessional conduct on film sets. The report highlights instances from the production of “Red One,” an Amazon MGM film, where Johnson’s consistent tardiness reportedly cost the production house significantly.
According to insiders, Johnson’s habitual late arrivals, often 7-8 hours behind schedule, caused delays and inflated production costs by at least $50 million, pushing the budget to $250 million. Similar tardiness was noted on sets of his Apple TV show “Ballers” and the 2018 film “Rampage,” further exacerbating crew frustration.
Additionally, the report delves into Johnson’s strained relationships with co-stars, including documented feuds with Vin Diesel and Ryan Reynolds. Allegedly, Johnson’s tardiness led to a confrontation with Reynolds on the set of their Netflix film, resulting in a heated argument and strained relations.
Furthermore, Johnson’s peculiar habit of urinating in water bottles, though acknowledged by the actor himself in workout settings, raised eyebrows as insiders claimed his team disposed of these bottles. However, crew members from “Red One” denied witnessing such incidents.
Despite controversies, Johnson continues with upcoming projects, notably A24’s “The Smashing Machine,” a biopic about UFC fighter Mark Kerr, directed by Ben Safdie.
