That was a bananas amount. That’s crazy. Ridiculous.” He called it all “bulls-t.” Meanwhile, Red One director Jake Kasdan said Dwayne “never missed a day of work ever. He has a lot going on. He can be late sometimes, but such is Hollywood—that’s the case with everybody. Honestly, I’ve made three big movies with him. I’ve never seen him be anything but great to every single person on the set.” Chris Evans, his co-star, said of the report, “In terms of the guy that I saw, compared to some of the things I’ve seen on other movies with other actors who are not only not conscious of other people’s time and efforts, but they’re unpredictable? I found Dwayne to be—we all know exactly what he’s going to do when he’s going to do it.” Apparently, Chris “acknowledged that Johnson would work out in the morning before coming to set.” He added, “But this is something that the producers, the director, and it’s all his team, so they all know this. So it’s all basic. It’s not like he’s late unexpectedly, and I wouldn’t even call it late. He comes in slightly later on certain mornings, but it’s part of the plan. It’s worked into the schedules and everyone knows it, so he shows up when he’s scheduled to show up.” On all of these rumors, Dwayne said, “I’ve said a thousand times: ‘Hey, I’m here. Come and ask me. And I’ll tell you the truth.’” Red One was filmed 2 years ago, and hits theaters this Friday.
