Entertainment gossip and news from Newsweek's network of contributors
Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson might be one of the most successful actors in Hollywood, but he still has basic human needs like everyone else.
In a recent interview with GQ that was published on Monday, November 11, Johnson, 52, admitted that he urinates in plastic bottles while on set. "I pee in a bottle. Yeah. That happens," Johnson candidly told the publication.
The actor's confessions comes after The Wrap published a piece alleging that in addition to the urination, Johnson was routinely late to the set of his upcoming Christmas action movie, Red One, which supposedly ended up costing the production around $250,000.
The Moana voice actor also admitted that he was late to work often during the interview, and said, "Yeah, that happens too, but not that amount." He later added that the allegations were "bulls**t."
The outlet reported that Johnson's co-star in the movie, Chris Evans, said that the actor "comes in slightly later on certain mornings, but it's part of the plan." When asked about his co star's tardiness during production, Evans told GQ, "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."
The publication also got a comment from the movie's director, Jake Kasdan, who said Johnson "never missed a day of work ever." Kasdan later added, "He has a lot going on. He can be late sometimes, but such is Hollywood — that's the case with everybody."
Fans can catch Johnson and Evans in Red One, which premieres in theaters on November 15, and Apple TV on November 14.
