Dwayne Johnson's Tardiness Adds $50M to 'Red One' Costs; Amazon Denies Claims

Apr 30, 2024, 08:54 PM

Dwayne Johnson, also known as The Rock, has been reported to frequently arrive late during the production of the film 'Red One,' often delaying the start by 7-8 hours and missing several full days. This behavior has reportedly added $50 million to the production costs, which have exceeded $250 million. Johnson's tardiness and unusual habits, such as urinating in water bottles to save time, have caused tension on set, including a significant dispute with co-star Ryan Reynolds, who once waited five hours due to Johnson's delay. Despite these reports, Amazon MGM denies the accusations.
