While Dwayne Johnson has yet to publicly address a recent report about his difficult behavior and constant tardiness on set, it hasn’t disrupted his workout routine.
The 51-year-old actor was spotted heading into a workout facility in Los Angeles on Tuesday afternoon.
Johnson – known as The Rock while performing for the WWE – was looking focused and determined as he headed inside.
The action star was spotted wearing a black baseball cap with aviator-style sunglasses for the outing.
He wore a grey polo shirt and black workout pants under black shorts with black sneakers, while carrying an insulated food bag and sporting a fanny pack.

Sources claimed to the publication that the action man – whose WWE persona nickname is ‘The Final Boss’ – had showed up on set as many as eight hours late and that the film crew had to shoot around him; he is seen in Philadelphia earlier this month
Earlier on Tuesday, two separate reports surfaced, claiming The Rock was constantly late and unprofessional while working on the upcoming Red One with Chris Evans.
Johnson’s behavior – coupled with inexperienced producers – reportedly caused the budget to balloon $50 million to $250 million, according to The Wrap.
The report also claimed that Johnson would arrive upwards of eight hours late to set, sometimes forcing the production to shoot around him.
Sources also claimed that, on other productions, Johnson would try to save time by urinating in an empty Voss water bottle and then have his team or a production assistant dispose of it on set.
‘It was a f***ing disaster,’ one insider told The Wrap while another said: ‘Dwayne truly doesn’t give a f***.’
A spokesperson for Amazon MGM – who are the film studio behind the film – responded with a firm denial to the allegations in the report.
The studio representative told The Wrap: ‘Dwayne Johnson and [producer] Seven Bucks have been incredible partners on Red One—a film that audiences of all ages are going to love this holiday season.
‘Our testing has been very strong — the reaction from CinemaCon speaks for itself — and we couldn’t have made it without Dwayne’s constant work and support. Any reporting that implies that we got to this point with him showing up seven-eight hours late to set is both ridiculous and false.’

Two additional sources close to production also told the publication that Johnson had averaged no more than one hour late to set.
Meanwhile another insider close to Amazon MGM said that the budget never actually veered far from the figure it was greenlit at.
The report also claimed that Johnson and his co-star from another ‘red’ movie – 2021’s Red Notice – Ryan Reynolds – clashed on set.
While The Wrap reported it was a ‘huge fight,’ TMZ reported that there was truth to Reynolds being upset with The Rock, though they both talked and hashed out the issues and production continued without any further incident.
