Dwayne Johnson, also known as The Rock, has solidified his position as a leading figure in the film industry, starring in a variety of successful projects ranging from family-friendly fare like “Moana” to high-octane action flicks like “The Fast and the Furious” series. His latest endeavor, “Red One,” slated as a Christmas movie, promises to blend both elements. However, recent reports suggest that Johnson’s behavior on set is raising eyebrows.
While details about “Red One” remain scarce, it’s known to feature Johnson alongside Chris Evans. Despite wrapping principal photography in February, concerns about Johnson’s conduct have emerged, particularly fueled by a report from The Wrap. Allegations include chronic tardiness, reportedly costing the production a staggering $250 million overrun. This overshoot in budget could jeopardize the film’s profitability upon its December release. Among the more eyebrow-raising claims is Johnson’s purported habit of urinating in water bottles on set.
These revelations starkly contrast with Johnson’s public image as a beloved and industrious actor/producer. As of now, Johnson has not issued any response to these allegations.
It remains to be seen if Johnson’s camp will address these accusations and how they might impact “Red One” and his broader relationship with Disney, especially considering his anticipated return for “Moana 2.” Despite this controversy, Johnson typically enjoys a stellar reputation, with numerous co-stars praising his work ethic and demeanor.
“Red One” is scheduled for release on November 15th, with anticipation running high due to its star-studded cast, including Chris Evans and J.K. Simmons.
