Behind the Scenes Controversies
The production of Red One hasn’t been without its challenges. According to reports from TheWrap, issues surrounding Dwayne Johnson’s behavior on set have caused headaches for the production team. Specifically, Johnson faced allegations of tardiness and unprofessionalism:
The only thing Dwayne was consistent at was being chronically late
, disclosed one insider. Reportedly, these delays resulted in significant financial burdens for the project.
However, other insiders contest these claims, stating that Johnson was never more than an hour late. A spokesperson for Amazon MGM outright denied any problems.
