Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and Ryan Reynolds allegedly got into a fight while filming Red Notice after the wrestler-turned actor continually arrived late to set.

TMZ reported today that Reynolds, 47, confronted Johnson, 51, about his tardiness during the production of the 2021 Netflix film because it affected their shooting schedule, which was already complicated due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

We’re told the actors — who are “good” now — talked it out and there were no further issues between the two.

“There was no stomping off set … no loud argument that’s not true,” a source tells Page Six, adding that the their disagreement is “water under the bridge.”

“They’re professionals,” the insider adds, pointing out that the rift happened “at the height of COVID” when “tensions were high.”

Tardiness has allegedly been an issue for the WWE star on multiple sets.

A source told the Wrap that Johnson was “seven to eight” hours late each day while filming his forthcoming action-adventure comedy film, Red One.

The dad of three allegedly “missed several entire days of production, ballooning costs by at least $US50 million according to three insiders who insisted on anonymity for fear of being fired,” per the Wrap.

“It was a f**king disaster,” a source told the outlet, adding that production crews were allegedly forced to film around the actor on days when he was a no-show.

However, a spokesperson for Amazon MGM Studios denied the allegations of chronic tardiness.

“Dwayne Johnson and Seven Bucks have been incredible partners on Red One — a film that audiences of all ages are going to love this holiday season,” a spokesperson said in a statement.

“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.”

The Wrap sources also accused Johnson of urinating in water bottles while on set to save time — and then making his assistants throw out the pee-filled containers.

Despite the source’s claims, two people close to production on Red One denied that the “Jumanji” star would have staffers do such a task.

“He would never ask another person to dispose of something like that,” one of the individuals told the outlet.

Johnson has previously admitted to urinating in water bottles.

“I usually stay pretty hydrated. I need to go to the bathroom a lot. Not a lot, but probably a couple of times during every workout I have to go to the bathroom,” he told Esquire in 2021. “So I break out the bottle.”

Page Six did not immediately hear back from Johnson’s rep.
