Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson has reached the level of cultural ubiquity where everyone wants to know everything about him, even the things no one should know except him and his urologist. Just over seven months later The Wrap reportedAmong other claims that one of the most successful actors in Hollywood history was on set peeing in bottles, he lets the truth come to light.
It was originally reported that Johnson would have his team dump Voss bottles full of urine on film sets, particularly his upcoming action/comedy film Red. During an unveiling GQ interview At his remote Virginia estate, Johnson admitted that the rumors were true: in fact, he regularly urinated in bottles during filming. “I pee in a bottle,” he says. “Yes. That’s what happens.” Nothing more, nothing less.
The anonymous source who revealed information about Johnson’s penchant for peeing explained that the 52-year-old megastar did so to save time on set. But the fact that a production assistant or someone on his team allegedly dropped the film may have upset the cast and crew. Since Johnson was a bit terse in his admission, we’d need a comment from one of the people who actually handled his pee container, titled “Between the Rock and His Pee Spot,” to get to the bottom of it. Or we could view it as a message with too much information, which it really is.
Johnson and his Red co-star Chris Evans has clarified a more damning allegation that Johnson arrived to filming up to eight hours late, which may have contributed to the film’s $250 million production budget. While Johnson admits he was late, he calls the eight-hour delay a “banana amount,” which is inaccurate. Evans tried to exaggerate the truth a bit by saying that Johnson’s delay was foreseeable enough to factor it into the production schedule, before saying overall that he wouldn’t even call what Johnson did a delay. It sounds like Johnson is so indispensable to a film that he gets to use the famous Nas lyric from his song “Can’t Forget About You”: “Never on schedule, always on time.”
Honestly, if a man did it grossed over $12 billion A little pee at the checkout and a later start to the workday shouldn’t be a big deal.
