Dwayne Johnson’s Behavior On Red One Had Crew Raising Their Eyebrows – Report
Decades after making guest appearances on sitcoms and Star Trek, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson evolved from a key figure in the world of wrestling into becoming this generation’s big action star and bonafide box-office needle-mover. After failing to helm his own corner at Warner Bros. with Black Adam, things have been rockier than rock-solid and it could be the beginning of a full-on rock slide.
TheWrap is reporting that Johnson’s actions on the set of his upcoming Christmas action movie, Red One, have him a nuisance at best and disgusting at worst. The movie, co-starring Chris Evans and J. K. Simmons as Santa, has Johnson as a bounty hunter out to save Santa after he gets kidnapped. Amazon had hopes of branching the movie into a formidable franchise, but in addition to a year-long delay said to be due to 2023’s strikes, there may have been other issues with the production.
Johnson showed up as much as eight hours late to set, causing ballooned costs by at least $50 million, according to three insiders who insisted on anonymity for fear of Johnson’s retribution.
