BLACK ADAM Star Dwayne Johnson Addresses Claim He Pees In Bottles On Movie Sets: " Yeah. That Happens"

Earlier this year, The Wrap ran a story alleging that Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson's behaviour on the set of Red One had driven the movie's budget up to a whopping $250 million. 

That came as a result of his frequent tardiness, with insiders claiming he'd frequently show up as much as eight hours late on some days. 

In a new GQ profile, Johnson was asked about his supposed lateness and said, "Yeah, that happens. But not that amount, by the way. That was a bananas amount. That’s crazy. Ridiculous."

As for the reports he pees in bottles on set to save time and avoid using the public restroom, Johnson admitted, "Yeah. That happens...I’ve said a thousand times: ‘Hey, I’m here. Come and ask me. And I’ll tell you the truth.'"

The pro wrestler and Hollywood A-Lister added that the controversy and backlash from those reports was "bullshit," with both Red One director Jake Kasdan and co-star Chris Evans on hand to defend him. 

"[Dwayne] never missed a day of work ever," the filmmaker stated. "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."

Evans 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."

"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," the Captain America actor continued. "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."

Elsewhere in the piece, Evans further defends Johnson by pointing out how he gave crew members working on Red One a combined $100,000 in bonuses.

"The [giveaway] pot was up to four or five grand or something, and before they pulled the name out, Dwayne said, ‘What’s the pot at right now?’" Evans recalled. "And someone said, ‘I don’t know, four grand.’ And he said, ‘Let’s call it 20.’ And they pulled out a name and whoever won was losing it. Dwayne said, ‘You know what? Should we do it again? How about 30 this time?’ Everyone goes nuts."

"And then he says, ‘You know what? How about one more?’ And it was 50. I think on one Friday, Dwayne gave away something like close to a hundred thousand dollars," he concluded. 

There are stranger and far worse stories about actors in Hollywood than showing up late and peeing in bottles, so we're sure no one is sweating this too much, least of all Johnson.

After a bad run which saw Black Adam flop in 2022 and the cancellation of his sitcom Young Rock, Red One sits at 33% on Rotten Tomatoes and made only $26.6 million at the international box office this weekend. The hope now is that it will find a bigger audience on streaming seeing as it was originally developed for Prime Video.

Rock is the type of guy to produce a biopic of himself while he’s still alive and force them to let him star as himself

@JFerguson - And want to direct and write it so nobody exposes negative side of him.

@SonOfAGif - he’d depict it so that everybody cheers when he pees in a bottle

SonOfAGif - 11/11/2024, 1:14 PM
@JFerguson - He will have a skinny smaller man question why he does it and Dwayne would respond "When you love the craft as much as I do, You'll do whatever it takes to get the scene done. If me not going to the bathroom gets this movie rolling. Well brother I'm going to fill every bottle in here" and the skinny smaller man will shed a tear.

@JFerguson - And as the biopic progresses we learn that the skinny smaller man (Kevin Hart) is revealed to be Kevin Hart and Dwayne Johnson put him on the map when he started off as the personal assistant on set for Dwayne.

@lazlodaytona - It was certainly a bigger thing for me when I was in the military. Bottle pissing was a past time of ours.

@JustAWaffle - Totally getting that. When you're running late, in the car, and stuck in traffic. Perfect Timing.

@lazlodaytona - Exactly. When I’m stuck on a post for 16 hours and relief isn’t coming any time soon, those piss bottle becomes very alluring.

Rock gets way too much hate. Yes his acting roles are usually very similar but there’s nothing wrong with leaning into your strengths. He’s obviously a hard worker and takes everything he does seriously. Nothing I’ve seen reported makes me think less of his success. Biggest mistake he’s made was muscling his way into the DCEU and trying to force the higher ups to acquiesce to including Cavill, which although I was onboard with, he went about it the wrong way.

Even though Black Adam the movie may not have been the greatest movie ever, he still embodied the character amazingly and I wouldn’t be against his very formidable Black Adam popping up again sometime in the future

Everyone loves to criticize others, rarely are they so critical of themselves

@MuadDib - I mean, Christopher Walken has been playing the same character for over 40 years. Seems to be working for him. Same with Jason Stratham

The fact he took this long to respond and admit to it must mean that it's just as bad as it sounds.

@Conquistador - also must have taken some effort to get the director and Evans on board for this fight this fire.

@Conquistador - He didn't take that long. I mean that's a bananas amount. He got here as soon as he could, skipped all bathroom breaks, filled bottles, filled empty KFC buckets, just to respond to this as quickly as he could.

The PR team is clealry getting everyone to speak about him with polite (and carefully worded) grace; they got a movie to try to sell.

"I found Dwayne to be — we all know exactly what he’s going to do when he’s going to do it."

Not high praise, but I guess they'll have to take it.

Late is still late? Just because he is a celeb we should accept it being okay? 🙄

There's a difference between being late and being scheduled to show up at a later time. While Rock's admitting to showing up late on sometimes, while Evans is running defense saying he was scheduled to show up later.

Anyway peeing in bottles to then have your assistants have to throw them away is unsanitary and gross, both for you & them, also for the film crew that's seeing you walk to a corner with an empty bottle & start peeing rather than use a bathroom like a normal person.
RolandD
RolandD - 11/11/2024, 5:42 PM
I really don’t understand how peeing in a bottle saves any time unless he does it right there on the set in front of everybody. You still have to go off and have some privacy so why not just go to the bathroom to say nothing about washing his hands after he does the deed? Weird!
