Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson has made headlines once again, this time by candidly admitting to a rather unconventional habit on the set of his upcoming holiday movie Red One. In a recent interview with GQ, Johnson openly confirmed rumors that he occasionally relieves himself in bottles while filming, a time-saving technique that has left fans both amused and surprised. “I pee in a bottle [while working],” the 52-year-old actor confessed. “Yeah, that happens.”
The revelations follow a report from The Wrap earlier this year, which noted significant delays on the set of Red One, with rescheduling and production setbacks allegedly inflating the film’s budget by as much as $250 million. The report pointed to Johnson’s busy schedule as a potential factor in these delays, suggesting that his arrival on set was often delayed, which may have impacted the production timeline.
Johnson, however, has refuted the extent of these delays, calling the claims exaggerated. “Yes, I can be late sometimes,” he admitted, “but not to that extent. He maintains that while he may not always be on time, the delays do not justify such astronomical figures.
The film’s director, Jake Kasdan, also defended Johnson, underscoring the actor’s dedication to the project despite his demanding commitments outside of the film set. Kasdan, who has previously worked with Johnson, clarified that while the star can occasionally be tardy, he has never missed a day of work. “He’s never missed a day of work,” Kasdan shared with GQ. “Sure, he can be late sometimes, but that’s just Hollywood – it happens with everyone.”
Johnson’s intense work schedule spans several concurrent projects, including business ventures, promotional events, and other film obligations, making his punctuality a frequent challenge. To stay efficient and maximize his time on set, Johnson’s unusual bottle-relieving practice has become a quirky, if unconventional, solution.
This unique approach to time management and Johnson’s relaxed attitude toward it reflects his commitment to fulfilling all his professional obligations, despite the potential for occasional scheduling conflicts. His openness about his on-set habits has only added to the buzz around Red One, already a highly anticipated holiday release. The film’s substantial budget and Johnson’s larger-than-life persona have heightened fans’ expectations for a memorable blockbuster.
As fans await Red One, set to deliver the action-comedy charisma Johnson is known for, the behind-the-scenes stories add another layer of intrigue. Whether unconventional or not, Johnson’s dedication to his craft – and willingness to go to unconventional lengths to keep things moving – has only amplified excitement around his upcoming release.
