The Rock confirms he pees in a bottle while making films

My colleague M. G0MEZ wrote about the GQ cover story on “The Rock” today, focusing on his desire for anonymity despite being one of the biggest movie stars in the world.

There’s another very interesting detail in the interview that caught my attention: The Rock confirmed that he pees in a bottle while making films. Nobody ever said I was a classy guy, so of course I just had to write about it here on my blog today.

For some reason, earlier this year there was a scathing report from The Wrap about Dwayne Johnson’s lack of professionalism and chronic tardiness on set. This story claimed 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’s GQ’s Zach Baron’s exchange with The Rock about negative press:

GQ: “When you delve deep within yourself, there isn’t much negativity.”

The rock: “For example, in relation to…?”

GQ: “People write negative things about you.”

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

GQ: “This is happening? What about the “late” part of this story?”

The rock: “Yes, that happens too.”

GQ: “Really? Okay.”

The rock: “But not that much, by the way. That was a bananas amount.”

GQ: “A story of legend, you mean?”

The rock: “This is crazy…”[It’s] ridiculous.”

GQ: “The reason I brought it up… I thought, this guy is 52, this is the first negative press article written about him. But I didn’t really recognize you in this story. You know?”

The rock: “Didn’t you?”

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

The rock: “Because it was nonsense. You know what I mean? That was something completely different that we could talk about, what that 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 after you hand over your piss bottle to one of your assistants, Cagesiders.
