In a candid admission, Johnson revealed that he occasionally uses an empty bottle to urinate while on set. This unusual habit stems from his tightly packed days, often beginning with rigorous workouts. “That happens,” Johnson shared, explaining it as a practical choice, particularly when he’s filming in places without easy access to restrooms. He noted that these bottles are disposed of, adding a bit of humour to the practical, albeit unique, routine.
“Bottled” Time-Saving Measures
While some online reports have exaggerated the habit, Johnson clarified that his choice isn’t about ignoring set rules but about efficiency. It’s not the first time Johnson has been transparent about his life behind the scenes—he once accidentally showcased one of these bottles in a social media post, prompting a wave of questions and some light-hearted critique from fans.
Setting the Record Straight on “Red One” Delays
In recent weeks, a few reports alleged that Johnson’s chronic tardiness had caused costly delays to “Red One,” his latest film with co-star Chris Evans. One article even suggested the production budget blew out due to delays, and some speculated that Johnson’s fitness routine was a contributing factor. However, Johnson and his colleagues, including director Jake Kasdan, have firmly denied these claims.
Kasdan stated that Johnson’s schedule was well-coordinated, and that, contrary to reports, Johnson consistently demonstrated a strong work ethic. Co-star Chris Evans backed this up, noting that Johnson’s time on set was efficient, and any delays were rare and minor.
Professionalism Amid Controversy
Despite the recent gossip, Johnson’s commitment to his craft remains strong. According to Kasdan, Johnson was “consistently professional” and “a great influence on set.” Johnson is also known for his generous spirit, with his co-stars sharing stories of his contributions to crew raffles and other on-set initiatives.
Though he’s no stranger to controversy, Johnson seems unfazed by the headlines, choosing to focus on his work and letting his reputation speak for itself. Fans can judge for themselves when “Red One” premieres on Netflix on November 15, just in time to add some action and laughs to the holiday season.
