Dwayne Johnson has made a pretty gross confession - and it's safe to say this is one fact we could have lived happily without knowing.
The 52-year-old WWE star-turned-actor might be one of the most-loved stars in Hollywood thanks to his larger-than-life persona and great movies.
But there's one on-set habit that he's admitted to that might just make you look at him a little differently...
While shooting those blockbuster movies, Dwayne's no stranger to a rather unusual toilet habit.
Back in April, The Wrap published an article claiming that Dwayne is often so late to set that it ended up costing production $250 million to push back the release of his new movie, Red One, from Christmas 2023 to November 2024.
The outlet alleged that due to his frequent lateness, Dwayne would often pee into a bottle to save adding further delays to shooting days by popping to the toilet like most people would do.
While some people may have believed that was just some creative reporting or an on-set source making it up, the star has now confessed that is indeed true.
Dwayne told GQ: "I pee in a bottle [while working]. Yeah, that happens."
Let's hope he's at least cleaning his hands with some hand sanitizer after that...
Dwayne also admitted the claims of him being late are true, but the cost appears to have been inflated, as he added: "Yeah, that happens, too. But not that amount, by the way. That was a bananas amount. That’s crazy. Ridiculous."
He did label the furor over his lateness as "bulls**t", with director Jake Kasdan confirming to the outlet that 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."
The director confirmed that having worked with Dwayne on "three big movies", he has never seen him "be anything but great to every single person on the set."
Dwayne's co-star, Chris Evans, also revealed: "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."
