Dwayne Johnson has cleared up those rumors about his set behavior – although some of them, he says, are true.

“I pee in a bottle. Yeah. That happens,” Johnson toldGQ, adding there’s also some truth to him being late to set. “Yeah, that happens too. But not that amount, by the way. That was a bananas amount. That’s crazy. Ridiculous.”

Directed by Jake Kasdan, the Christmas-themed pic stars Johnson as the head of security for Santa Claus, who is played by none other than J.K. Simmons. The stacked cast also includes Chris Evans as a bounty hunter set out to kidnap Santa, Bonnie Hunt as Mrs. Claus, Kiernan Shipka a mythical Icelandic creature named Gryla, and Kristofer Hivju as Krampus.
