“On set, away from his trailer, if he needs to pee, he doesn’t go to the public bathroom,” one insider who knows the movie star well said. “He pees in a Voss water bottle and his team or a PA has to dispose of it.”
Big rumblings happening in Hollywood piss markets.
Wow Mr. Big Shot Hollywood has to piss in a $250 water bottle while the rest of us working stiffs have to piss in gallon jugs.
🎶Ha ha ha
Hee hee hee
Gallon piss jug,
how I love thee!🎶
His acting career started with a no dialog cameo on voyager
now he doesn't even show up and they're still paying for him
Stone Cold Rock Bottom's Jeri Ryan's stunt double was not something I ever expected to see when I first started watching trek.
not reading this article but this means it was likely everyone on set probably got OT while waiting around for him
He's been known for being hours late for a couple years now. A major diva, overall shitty person to work with.
Can you smell what the Rock is cooking? Piss. It's piss. Maybe seasoned with some asparagus???
He worked 5-6 hours days, which if he was 7-8 hours late for, then that means the expectation was that work days are 13 hours days. So critical support, I also would have said fuck that you'll get my 5-6.
That's all kinds of normal for a film set. As far as being an actor a lot of that time is spent just kinda being available when they get around to needing you as well. He would probably be spending a decent amount of that time vibing in his trailer doing whatever he wants while they set up shots and whatever. If there's any exterior shooting you need to do things at the right time cause the sun moves and that fucks up your lighting and continuity. It's also just a massive massive pain in the ass for the people working for a pay check on set cause the time wasted on a rich actor being late could mean the production going over schedule and them missing out on the next gig they had lined up. Making movies is fucking miserable and it's amazing that anyone does it even for lots of money
Making films is miserable in the way it's set up today but seeing the final product of something you nearly died making is extremely satisfying lol
And then I, an armchair know-nothing reviewer, get to call it derivative!
you need to do things at the right time cause the sun moves and that fucks up your lighting and continuity
Lmao you just reminded of a shoot I was on where it suddenly started snowing 
When it finally stopped the police started some action in the building next to ours, fucking up all the sound 
We had the place for two days and that was those days 
Hold for plane 
Yes, exactly. And if even one actor is pushing back, even in his own selfish way, critical support to any resistance at all.
That's not how that works. Read my second to last sentence. There are jobs that simply by their nature require long hours, if anything studios would rather the high paus union people on set be working less hours but a reality of film work is you bust your balls for a couple months and then have a month off and even then the on set time is often just being there, like a firefighter being in the station for two weeks and then two weeks off. They're on duty, they're on the job and have some stuff to do but they're around to put out fires
I mean, he took the job knowing the hours. There's a lot of industries I don't work in because the hours are wack. It's not like he's some poor soul with no options forced into a malicious contract
You're right, and he's an (unfortunately) in demand actor with enough leverage to get a way with this. I absolutely would prefer that he use that leverage to gain better working conditions for the whole set, but extremely critically, I support at least one asshole pushing back against the insane working conditions Hollywood has. Tangentially, this is the same critical support I'd give Chappell Roan for not endorsing Kamala Harris.
Some work just requires longer hours. I've worked on a couple of movies and it's not due to some evil maliciousness that the hours are what they are, it's just a result of what you're trying to do.
While I think it's good to push back against Hollywood, that's not what Dwayne is doing by agreeing to a contract with certain hours and then showing up late. If he wanted to push back, then he wouldn't agree to that kind of contract or he would demand certain concessions, not just for him, but for everyone. In the article they also mention trying to work around him requiring 3 hours of workout every day, so they have shown that they would be willing to do that kind of stuff.
12 hour days is the norm on a movie set
Money is a nonphysical neurotoxin
Shyeah… Uh, Redddd Onnnee… Konvict… Ga Ga… Oh oh, eh…
How do I read the article without paying?
you don't. just make assumptions about it because The Rock isn't a real person anyway.
Sorry I forgot to hit you with the archive mirro. Thank you @Cyanocobalamin@lemmy.dbzer0.com for doing it for me
i don't think he'll drop the nickname. even if he tries, the public won't let him. he's one of the few actual celebrities left. he gets millions of dollars to barely act in movies because your parents recognize his name. how exactly is a guy named "dwayne" gonna do that?
