Dwayne Johnson admits to urinating in water bottles on set. Earlier this year, a report by The Wrap accused the actor of being regularly late for work with his tardiness driving up the budget for his new Christmas movie, Red One, to a staggering $250 million. Insiders reportedly claimed there were days when he was eight hours late to the set. In a new interview with GQ, the Moana star insisted the extent of his tardiness has been exaggerated. ”Yeah, that happens. But not that amount, by the way. That was a bananas amount. That's crazy. Ridiculous.” The Wrap also reported that Johnson regularly peed in water bottles to save time when he wasn't near his trailer. ”Yeah. That happens...I've said a thousand times: 'Hey, I'm here. Come and ask me. And I'll tell you the truth.’" Elsewhere in the GQ interview, Red One director Jake Kasdan explained that he has never had a bad experience working with Johnson. ”(Dwayne) never missed a day of work ever. He has a lot going on. He can be late sometimes, but such is Hollywood - that's the case with everybody.” "Honestly, I've made three big movies with him. I've never seen him be anything but great to every single person on the set.” Meanwhile, Chris Evans, who also stars in the new Christmas film, has also come to the Black Adam actor's defence. The Marvel star explained that Johnson regularly works out before work, but noted: ”But this is something that the producers, the director, and it's all his team, so they all know this. So it's all basic. It's not like he's late unexpectedly, and I wouldn't even call it late. He comes in slightly later on certain mornings, but it's part of the plan.”
