Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson is really dedicated to his craft.

The action movie star, in a new wide-ranging cover story with GQ published Monday, partly confirmed details from a recent The Wrap report that claimed he would "pee in a bottle" and was sometimes late to the set of his new Christmas film "Red One."

Asked about the former, Johnson said, "Yeah. That happens." And, in response to The Wrap's reporting that he was chronically late by up to eight hours, he told GQ that though he had been late to set, it was "not that amount." He added: "That was a bananas amount. That's crazy. Ridiculous."

USA TODAY has reached out to Johnson's reps for comment.

In April, The Wrap reported that Johnson's tardiness and producers' inexperience had cost expensive delays for Amazon MGM's holiday comedy "Red One," to the tune of $250 million. Johnson and Amazon MGM's reps denied the accusations at the time.

"Red One" director Jake Kasdan, who has worked with the former wrestler on multiple films including "Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle" and "Jumanji: The Next Level," told GQ that Johnson "never missed a day of work ever. He has a lot going on. He can be late sometimes, but such is Hollywood."

"I've never seen him be anything but great to every single person on the set," Kasdan added.

Film co-star Chris Evans shared similar high praise.

Evans said that "compared to some of the things I've seen on other movies with other actors who are ... not conscious of other people's time and efforts" as well as "unpredictable," he found that with Johnson, it was business as usual.

"We all know exactly what he's going to do when he's going to do it," Evans said.

Evans recalled "$5 Fridays" on set, where movie productions will offer daily raffles that the set will contribute to. Stars usually aren't in the running but are expected to contribute monetarily. Evans said one day on set, Johnson went above and beyond.

"I'm really not exaggerating about this," he prefaced. "The pot was up to four or five grand or something, and before they pulled the name out, Dwayne said, 'What's the pot at right now?' And someone said, 'I don't know, four grand.' And he said, 'Let's call it 20.'"

The "Captain America" star told the outlet that Johnson had increased the jackpot on multiple instances, up to what Evans estimated was "close to a hundred thousand dollars."

"Red One," which also co-stars J.K. Simmons as old St. Nick with Johnson as North Pole head of security Callum Drift and bounty hunter Jack O'Malley (Evans), is set to be released Friday.
