The Rock confirms he pees in a bottle while making movies

Earlier today, my colleague M. G0MEZ wrote about GQ’s cover story on The Rock, focusing on his desire for anonymity while being one of the biggest movie stars in the world.

There is another very interesting detail in the interview that caught my attention and that was The Rock confirming that he pees in a bottle while making movies. No one ever said I was a classy guy, so of course I just had to write about it today on my blog.

For some context, there was a scathing report from earlier this year The packaging regarding Dwayne Johnson’s lack of professionalism and chronic delays on set. As part of that story, it was alleged that Dwayne “pees in a Voss water bottle and his team or a PA has to dispose of it.”

Fast forward to today and here it is GQ’s Zach Baron’s exchange with The Rock about negative press:

GQ: “If you dive deep with you, there’s not much negativity.”

The rock: “Like, in the form of…?”

GQ: “People write negative things about you.”

The rock: “Not really. I mean, they tried. I pee in a bottle. Yes, it happens.”

GQ: “It’s happening? What about the ‘late’ part of that story?”

The rock: “Yes, that happens too.”

GQ: “Really? Okay.”

The rock: “But not that amount by the way. It was a load of bananas.”

GQ: “A legend story, you mean?”

The rock: “It’s crazy…(It’s) ridiculous.”

GQ: “The reason I brought it up…I was like this guy is 52, this is the first piece of negative press that’s been written about him. But I didn’t really recognize you in that story. Do you know?”

The rock: “Haven’t you?”

GQ: “It is not the person who appears in something else.”

The rock: “Because it was shit. Do you know what I mean? It was a whole other thing, we could talk about what it was. But it’s like, okay.”

What do you think of The Rock’s claim that the report about his lack of professionalism in Hollywood is bullshit? Let me know in the comments below once you’ve handed off your piss bottle to one of your assistants, Cagesiders.
