Several months ago, The Wrap accused Dwayne Johnson of catastrophic behavior on the set of “Red One.” The actor has finally spoken out about these accusations.
After the controversy surrounding Red One…
Dwayne Johnson will soon be back in Red One. We will see him playing Callum Drift, Santa’s head of security, who must find him to save the end of year celebrations following his kidnapping. For this, Callum seeks the help of Jack O’Malley, a bounty hunter played by Chris Evans.
And Red One hasn’t been released yet, the film has already been tainted bya controversy. Last May, The Wrap published an article largely questioning the behavior of Dwayne Johnson on the set. The actor was accused of having regularly pees in bottles to save time on set. Above all, he would have had many delays which would have cost a lot of money to produce. The media even claimed that it was on average seven to eight hours late!
…Dwayne Johnson speaks
While we were waiting for the reaction of the main interested party following the publication of T’s articlehe Wraphe has finally given it away. On the occasion of the release of Red One, GQ asked Dwayne Johnson about the accusations he faced. He admitted having actually peed in bottles during filming. And he admitted to having been late. More he denied the figures of seven to eight hours given in the article implicating him:
Yes, that happens too. But not to this extent. The numbers given were crazy. Ridiculous.
Jake Kasdan, who directed Dwayne Johnson in Red One but also Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle et Jumanji : Next Levelalso denied one of the information given by The Wrap. In its article, the media stated that in addition to his lateness, the actor occasionally missed entire days of filming. The director contradicted these accusations: “He never missed a day of work. »
Chris Evans defends his playing partner
Chris Evans also came to the rescue of his playing partner in Red One. He admitted that Dwayne Johnson’s physical workouts sometimes caused him to be late. But he explained that, in his opinion, his delays weren’t really delays. Because the entire film crew was aware of the organization of his days:
It’s not like he was unexpectedly late, and I wouldn’t even call it being late. He arrives a little late some mornings, but that’s part of the plan. His workouts are included in the production schedules, and everyone knows it, so he arrives when he is scheduled to arrive.
If we are to believe the words of Dwayne Johnson, Jake Kasdan and Chris Evans, the article published by The Wrap therefore contained false information about the actor’s habits. This did not prevent Red One to receive very bad reviews from the press before its release.
For the public, the feature film will be visible in North American theaters from this Friday November 15. In France, he has no no release date yet.
