The report also goes back further into Johnson’s career, citing stories of the star being late to set for the TV series “Ballers” as well as movies like 2018’s “Rampage” and “Red Notice,” released on Netflix in 2021. Johnson’s lateness on the latter film is said to have caused an argument between Johnson and co-star Ryan Reynolds, with the two actors going without speaking to one another for years before recently making amends. Additionally, one of Johnson’s “Rampage” co-stars reportedly kept a log of how long the actor actually spent on set because of how often he was absent.

An anonymous Hollywood studio insider is reported as saying that Johnson refuses to work more than five hours a day, calling it a “control thing.” Meanwhile, official statements from studios such as Netflix continue to praise the actor publicly, with the streaming giant providing a statement to The Wrap calling Johnson “the consummate professional.”

Elsewhere in the article, Johnson is accused of breaking COVID-19 safety protocols during filming of “Red Notice.” The actor reportedly flew home on multiple occasions, breaking the “bubble” regulations of the set, and even contracted COVID-19 after hosting family and friends for a gathering at his home. However, another anonymous source denied that this happened.
