Dwayne Johnson Confirms Claim He Pees in Bottles on Movie Sets

Nov 17, 2024


Earlier this year a report surfaced from Hollywood insiders who were venting their frustrations about working with Dwayne Johnson. Production issues ranged from Johnson’s “chronic lateness and lack of professionalism on set to producers’ inexperience.”It was also explained that “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.”Well, it turns out that these things are true as Johnson confirmed them himself. During a new GQ profile, Johnson was asked about his reported lateness and he said, “Yeah, that happens. But not that amount, by the way. That was a bananas amount. That’s crazy. Ridiculous.”Insiders said that Johnson “showed up as much as eight hours late to set on the movie — forcing the crew to shoot around him on some days.”Then it was reported that “On previous films, Johnson has made a habit of peeing in a water bottle to save time, upsetting crew members.”When asked about those pee reports, Johnson confirmed: “Yeah. That happens… I’ve said a thousand times: ‘Hey, I’m here. Come and ask me. And I’ll tell you the truth.'”So, there you go! Dwayne Johnson pees in bottles while shooting movies to save time. He is next set to star in the Christmas action film, Red One, and director Jake Kasdan and co-star Chris Evans have defended Johnson.Kasdan said, “[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.”Evans added, “In terms of the guy that I saw, compared to some of the things I’ve seen on other movies with other actors who are not only not conscious of other people’s time and efforts, but they’re unpredictable? I found Dwayne to be — we all know exactly what he’s going to do when he’s going to do it.”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. It’s worked into the schedules and everyone knows it, so he shows up when he’s scheduled to show up.”Evans also pointed out that Johnson gave crew members working on Red One a combined $100,000 in bonuses.”The [giveaway] pot was up to four or five grand or something, and before they pulled the name out, Dwayne said, ‘What’s the pot at right now?’ And someone said, ‘I don’t know, four grand.’ And he said, ‘Let’s call it 20.’ And they pulled out a name and whoever won was losing it. Dwayne said, ‘You know what? Should we do it again? How about 30 this time?’ Everyone goes nuts.””And then he says, ‘You know what? How about one more?’ And it was 50. I think on one Friday, Dwayne gave away something like close to a hundred thousand dollars.”In the end, it doesn’t sound like working with Johnson is as bad as people are saying it is, but… yeah, disposing of his pee bottles definitely isn’t the job that anyone wants. The PAs could always make some extra cash by selling them on the internet. I’m sure there are strange people out there who would buy Johnson’s pee.
