Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson has recently faced scrutiny over claims of frequent lateness on the set of his new film, 'Red One,' which has a hefty production budget of $250 million.

Looking ahead, Johnson has expressed a desire to take on more dramatic roles, moving away from his typical action blockbuster films.

Amidst the rumors, Johnson confirmed in a GQ interview that he sometimes urinates in bottles on set to save time during busy filming days, a practice he described as exaggerated in the media.

These allegations about his on-set behavior, including lateness and urination habits, were initially reported by The Wrap earlier in 2024.

In addition to 'Red One,' Johnson is set to star in the biopic 'The Smashing Machine,' portraying MMA fighter Mark Kerr, with Benny Safdie directing.

Co-star Chris Evans supported Johnson, noting that any delays were planned and communicated with the production team, emphasizing Johnson's reliability compared to other actors.

The film premiered in German cinemas on November 7, 2024, and is set to be released in the US on November 15, 2024.

Johnson and Kasdan have a history of collaboration, having worked together on 'Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle' and its sequel, with a third installment planned for December 2026.

In addition to his film work, Johnson has shown generosity on set, with Evans recounting an incident where Johnson donated nearly $100,000 to a crew raffle.

Johnson dismissed these allegations as 'bananas' and 'ridiculous,' acknowledging that while he is occasionally late, he refuted the extent of the reported delays.

Jake Kasdan, the director of 'Red One,' also defended Johnson, highlighting his professionalism and positive interactions with the crew throughout their collaborations.

Despite the controversy, 'Red One,' which features Johnson as Santa Claus's head of security, has received overwhelmingly negative reviews, with some critics describing it as 'profoundly depressing and blandly sentimental.'
