WWE legend and Hollywood star Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson has certainly cultivated a reputation as a hard-working movie star with box-office drawing power. However, some reports have emerged about a fight on a set via The Wrap.
There have been reports in the past about Johnson’s perpetual lateness which seem to stem from his refusal to work a full shooting day, despite factoring in his three-hour daily workout routine.
“It’s his absolute refusal to work more than a four-or five-hour day,” a studio insider added. Another insider suggested, “It’s a control thing.”
In the past, Johnson’s behavior has led to conflicts with costars, most famously Vin Diesel. “Vin has been having problems with The Rock because The Rock keeps showing up late for production,” an insider told People during their work together on the “Fast and Furious” franchise. “Sometimes he doesn’t show up at all, and he’s delaying the production.”
It has been noted that During production in the fall of 2020 on Netflix’s similarly titled “Red Notice,” Ryan Reynolds was so furious after waiting five hours for Johnson that they had a “huge fight,” as per the outlet. Johnson had then stormed off set.
The two stars didn’t speak for years until they recently patched things up. (“Red Notice” received a sequel order from Netflix in 2022, but there has been little movement on the project since that time.)
“Dwayne is the consummate professional and we’re thrilled to have worked with him on ‘Red Notice,’ our #1 film,” a Netflix spokesperson told TheWrap.
