SUMMARY

- Ferguson alleged that bad behavior from an actor made her cry.
Hollywood movies are some of the biggest spectacles on the planet and they generate obscene amounts of revenue when done right. However, making the movies is not a piece of cake and it often takes a lot of hard work from all the actors, directors, and producers involved. Recently, Rebecca Ferguson, who has acted with Dwayne Johnson, spoke about her worst experience on a movie set.
During an interview, Ferguson added, “I did a film with an absolute idiot of a co-star and this human being was being so insecure and angry because this person couldn’t get the scenes out. And I think I was so vulnerable and uncomfortable that I got screamed at and I would cry walking off set. This person would literally look at me in front of the whole crew and say, ‘You call yourself an actor, this is what I have to work with?'”

Although she was afraid as there was no “safety net” for her during the shooting, the ‘Mission Impossible’ actress gathered the courage to confront the particular actor the next day. The Swedish actress asked the culprit to “get off” her set and “F off.” Rebecca also added that it was her breaking point and it shaped the way she conducted herself on movie sets.
Fans speculate if Rebecca Ferguson was referring to Dwayne Johnson or not
Dwayne Johnson was the biggest box-office superstar in the world at a certain point. With movies like franchises like “Jumanji” and “Fast and Furious” under his belt, Johnson had become a bona-fide box-office attraction. It also helped that “The Rock” also had an in-built fan base from his WWE days and his solo movies like “Rampage” and “San Andreas” did amazing collections as well. His movies have made over $12 billion worldwide.
Despite his stardom, fans may want to know what it is like to work with the WWE star. While actors like Kevin Hart and John Cena have positive things to say, Johnson did have a public fall-out with Vin Diesel and Tyrese Gibson. There are also reports that he interfered with the production of ‘Black Adam.’ Amid all those rumors, some fans speculate whether Rebecca Ferguson was referring to the 51-year-old during her interview or not.
One fan wrote, “God da*n it. It’s the Rock…. There’s not a single interview they’ve done together promoting Hercules, for Life there was as well as for The Snowman and seemed pretty loose on the videos… getting told by the rock “you’re an actor” when he isn’t half of that.”
Nope. I made a movie with Dwayne. He’d never do this. They didn’t promote Hercules because they all knew it stunk and would tank.

However, many fans have also defended the beloved actor as well. One person, who claims to have made a movie with Johnson, added, “Nope. I made a movie with Dwayne. He’d never do this. They didn’t promote Hercules because they all knew it stunk and would tank.”
Another X (formerly Twitter) user added, “It can’t be The Rock, I mean, if Meryl Streep calls you out on acting it’s valid and embarrassing, but, The Rock? Bfr, you’re a wrestler.”
Many other fans also joined in to chime in with their two cents on the matter. It is important to mention that all of it is speculation and Rebecca Ferguson has not clarified who is the person she referring to. And, it is highly unlikely that she ever will. As far as the Dwayne Johnson links go, it is nothing but fan speculation. And, after his recent tweet, the speculation has been put to bed.
The Rock defends ‘Hercules’ co-star Rebecca Ferguson
Rebecca Ferguson and Dwayne Johnson have collaborated on only one movie so far. In 2014, they both starred in a ‘Hercules’ reboot. Directed by Brett Ratner, the movie was released on July 25, 2014. On a $100 million production budget, the movie made around $244 million at the box office.
While The Rock played the titular character, Ferguson played the female lead in the movie named ‘Ergenia.’ Interestingly, Tom Brady and Cristiano Ronaldo’s ex-girlfriend Irina Shayk played the role of Megara, Hercules’ dead wife. Ahead of the movie’s release, Johnson certainly had a lot of praise for Ferguson.
He added, “One of the best things about Rebecca was the weight she brought to her role and she couldn’t bring that weight to the role unless she had lived a whole life.” Johnson continued, “It was a very unique way, an intangible and an x-factor about Rebecca. It knocked everyone’s socks off.”
Amid all the recent drama, Johnson also supported Ferguson and added on his social media, “Hate seeing this but love seeing her stand up to bullshit. Rebecca was my guardian angel sent from heaven on our set. I love that woman. I’d like to find out who did this.”
