Dwayne Johnson has responded to recent claims about his conduct on the set of Red One, calling the accusations “nonsense.”
Never Missed a Day of Work
Reports surfaced alleging that Johnson’s supposed tardiness contributed to additional costs, reportedly bringing the production budget to $250 million.
However, his co-star Chris Evans has publicly defended him, sharing his positive experience and highlighting Johnson’s generosity on set, including donations totaling nearly $100,000 through various raffles for the crew.
In an interview with GQ, Johnson addressed the rumors directly, brushing off claims of delays and excessive costs, according to El Economista.
He responded with humor to the unusual allegation that he would urinate in bottles to save time, initially confirming it but now calling the story “ridiculous.”
Evans and director Jake Kasdan both support Johnson’s professionalism, with Kasdan stating, “He never missed a day of work.” Evans explained that any delays were well-coordinated within the production schedule and understood by the crew.
Opened Up About Father
Evans also shared a story of Johnson’s kindness on set. He noted that Johnson donated substantial prizes for weekly crew raffles, including one occasion where he contributed up to $50,000, sparking excitement among team members.
In the interview, Johnson also opened up about the passing of his father four years ago, describing it as a profound loss that deeply affected him.
He called his father his greatest teacher and expressed regret over not being able to say goodbye. “When he died suddenly, you don’t have the chance to make things right.
It changes how you see things,” he shared, reflecting on the impact of his father’s legacy.
Despite the recent allegations, Johnson’s colleagues continue to stand by him, praising his professionalism, warmth, and generosity on set.
