“He pees in a Voss water bottle”: Dwayne Johnson Needs to Address the Wildest Accusation He Has Ever Faced in His Life That Threatens His Near Perfect Image
From fighting tooth and nail in the wrestling ring to enamoring audiences with his on-screen performances, Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson has garnered a massive fanbase with his flexed muscles and signature brooding look. He claims to be the hardest-working person in the room, but how true is this self-proclamation?
Controversies and speculations surround celebrities daily. From rumors of plastic surgeries to claims of unprofessionalism on set, such headlines often threaten to impact the image of celebrities involved as the lines between fact and fiction blur. The recent target seems to be Dwayne Johnson.
Wild Accusations Surround Dwayne Johnson on Red One set
For a man who takes great pride in being a hard-working and dedicated professional, any claims suggesting otherwise can immensely harm his image. Dwayne Johnson has spent years building a reputed image in the industry with successful franchises like Jumanji and other successful movies like Black Adam and Red Notice. His comic timing along with physical attributes may push him into similar roles, but his popularity is enough to pull fans into the theatres.
However, recent claims by insiders on the sets of Red One reveal an alleged flip side of the wrestler-turned-actor that threatens to unravel his perfect image. The sources informed TheWrap that Johnson is allegedly consistently late on set, sometimes even delaying the production schedule by eight hours as the crew waits for the actor to arrive. Another source close to Johnson claimed,
“On set, away from his trailer, if he needs to pee, he doesn’t go to the public bathroom. He pees in a Voss water bottle and his team or a PA has to dispose of it.”
Amazon MGM, the studio producing the movie has shut down these claims and stated that the delay in the movie’s release is not because of Johnson as he has been a constant support on the film set. The studio even shut down any rumors regarding the movie budget inflating to over $250 million. At the same time, this is not the first time we have heard murmurs of Johnson’s lateness to set.
What is Red One About?
Starring Johnson, Chris Evans, and J.K. Simmons, the movie features a heist-type event surrounding the festivities of Christmas. When the main man Santa gets kidnapped from the North Pole, an ELF operative and a bounty hunter come together to save the day. Directed by Jake Kasdan, the movie is helmed as a mass commercial flick, aspiring to satisfy fans of action and thriller genres.
The movie was set to release last year around Christmas, however, the strikes delayed production. Recent news of Johnson’s lateness to the set might also have contributed to the delay in production. Nevertheless, Red One is slated to hit theatres in November 2024. It promises to be an action-adventure joyride for people who love high-stakes situations where a messiah sets things right.
