It's giving diva!

Dwayne Johnson has been accused of costing his upcoming film 'Red One' millions after turning up "Chronically late" to work.

According to The Wrap’s expose report, the 'Jumanji' actor allegedly delayed shoots for up to 8 hours and apparently didn't even show up one of the days.

The final budget for the film is said to be over $250million - With Dwayne's tardiness adding at least $50 million to the bill.

The crew also claimed that the WWE legend urinated in water bottles to save time...

One insider said, “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.”

Meanwhile, a spokesperson for Amazon MGM (the studio behind the film) have slammed the report saying it's "ridiculous and false".

A studio rep told The Wrap, “Dwayne Johnson and [producer] Seven Bucks have been incredible partners on ‘Red One’—a film that audiences of all ages are going to love this holiday season. Our testing has been very strong — the reaction from CinemaCon speaks for itself — and we couldn’t have made it without Dwayne’s constant work and support. Any reporting that implies that we got to this point with him showing up seven-eight hours late to set is both ridiculous and false.”

Red One, starring Dwayne Johnson and Chris Evans, is set to drop on the 15th of November 2024.
