Dwayne Johnsonโ€˜s been spilling the beans about his bathroom habits โ€” turns out he sometimes pees in bottles while filming.

The former wrestler-turned-movie star opened up about this quirky practice in a recent GQ video cover story. He explained itโ€™s all about being efficient, as taking bathroom breaks on set can eat up precious time.

โ€œYeah. That happens. โ€ฆ Iโ€™ve said a thousand times: โ€˜Hey, Iโ€™m here. Come and ask me. And Iโ€™ll tell you the truth,'โ€ Johnson shared with the magazine, brushing off concerns about what happens to these bottles afterward.

This revelation about Johnsonโ€™s on-set routine first made waves in April. The Wrap reported on the filming of his upcoming Christmas flick, Red One, claiming the actorโ€™s chronic tardiness โ€” sometimes up to eight hours late โ€” caused the movieโ€™s budget to skyrocket to $250 million.

Johnson admitted he does show up late sometimes, but not to the extreme mentioned in The Wrapโ€™s story.

โ€œYeah, that happens too,โ€ Johnson told GQ. โ€œBut not that amount, by the way. That was a bananas amount. Thatโ€™s crazy. Ridiculous.โ€

Red One director Jake Kasdan also chimed in, saying that while Johnson โ€œcan be late sometimes,โ€ he โ€œnever missed a day of workโ€ on the film.

โ€œHonestly, Iโ€™ve made three big movies with him. Iโ€™ve never seen him be anything but great to every single person on the set,โ€ Kasdan added.

Chris Evans, Johnsonโ€™s co-star, also defended his colleagueโ€™s on-set behavior.

โ€œI found Dwayne to be โ€” we all know exactly what heโ€™s going to do when heโ€™s going to do it,โ€ Evans told GQ. โ€œHe comes in slightly later on certain mornings, but itโ€™s part of the plan. Itโ€™s worked into the schedules and everyone knows it, so he shows up when heโ€™s scheduled to show up.โ€

Red One, also featuring J.K. Simmons, hits the big screen this Friday.
