Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson has addressed speculation that he is the actor Rebecca Ferguson claims “screamed” at her.

Ferguson revealed this week during an interview that she once told her male co-star to “f**k off” after he yelled at her in the middle of a scene and she later refused to work with him any longer.

While Ferguson said it wasn’t Tom Cruise or Hugh Jackman, that left fans to speculate among the long list of the actress’ other former male co-stars, and many on social media pointed the finger at Johnson.

However, the former wrestler has now put a stop to those rumours.

Replying to a video clip of her interview on social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter, Johnson said: “Hate seeing this but love seeing her stand up to bulls***. Rebecca was my guardian angel sent from heaven on set. I love that woman. I’d like to find out who did this”.

Ferguson first revealed the shocking story earlier this week.

“I did a film with an absolute idiot of a co-star and it doesn’t matter who it was. I’m going to try and not give this away,” she explained on the Reign with Josh Smith podcast.

“I remember there was a moment and this human being was being so insecure and angry because this person couldn’t get the scenes out,” she said. “And I think I was so vulnerable and uncomfortable that I got screamed at.”

“But because this person was number one on a call sheet, there was no safety net for me. So no one had my back. 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?’, and ‘What the f**k is this?,’ in front of the whole crew. I stood there just breaking,” she continued.

Ferguson went on to share that she hoped at the time that producers would have stepped in to help her, but sadly the star confessed she had “no one”.

However, she refused to back down.

Upon returning to the set the following day, she decided to speak up and told the A-list star: “You get off my set. I’m gonna work [with] a tennis ball. I never wanna see you again”.

Actors sometimes use tennis balls on a stick as stand-ins for co-stars when acting in particularly long scenes.

“I remember being so scared,” she said.

“I looked at this person and I said, ‘You can F off.’”
