Talk about a tempest in a teapot, or some kind of pot anyway.
Yeah, Johnson told GQ about peeing in water bottles to save time.
That happens…Ive said a thousand times: Hey, Im here.

Come and ask me.
And Ill tell you the truth.
But not that amount, by the way.
That was a bananas amount.
Johnson called the controversy bullshit.
Watch on Deadline
In the GQ piece,Red Onedirector Jake Kasdan defends Johnson.
[Dwayne] never missed a day of work ever, Kasdan says.
He has a lot going on.
He can be late sometimes, but such is Hollywood thats the case with everybody.
Honestly, Ive made three big movies with him.
Ive never seen him be anything but great to every single person on the set.
Co-star Chris Evans also comes to Johnsons defense.
Johnson, Evans says, typically works out in the mornings before arriving on set.
So its all basic.
Its not like hes late unexpectedly, and I wouldnt even call it late.
He comes in slightly later on certain mornings, but its part of the plan.
Evans also shares a story suggesting a more considerate side of Johnson.
And someone said, I dont know, four grand.
And he said, Lets call it 20.
Then, says Evans, Johnson said, You know what?
Should we do it again?
How about 30 this time?
And then he says, You know what?
How about one more?
And it was 50.
I think on one Friday, Dwayne gave away something like close to a hundred thousand dollars.
