Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson comes out in support of Rebecca Ferguson after she reveals being bullied on set
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson has expressed his support for 'Dune' star Rebecca Ferguson who recently revealed that she had to face an "absolute idiot of a co-star" who made her cry on film set.
The actor praised Ferguson for standing up to the bully and said he would like to find out who did this to her.
Dwayne Johnson shows solidarity with Rebecca Ferguson and wants to find the culprit
Johnson, who is known for his positive and friendly attitude, took to social media platform X to show his solidarity with Ferguson.
“Hate seeing this but love seeing her stand up to bulls***. Rebecca was my guardian angel sent from heaven on our set. I love that woman. I’d like to find out who did this," he posted on X.
His comment sparked speculation among fans about who the abusive co-star could be.
Some guessed that it was Tom Cruise who worked with Ferguson in the 'Mission: Impossible' while others suggested Hugh Grant who co-starred with her in 'Florence Foster Jenkins.'
Some also joked that Johnson was going to fight the co-star or send him to the Smackdown Hotel.
Ferguson has not revealed the identity of the co-star, but she confirmed that it was not Hugh Jackman or Tom Cruise.
We already know it was Tom Cruise. Why do you think the last MI movie was so choppy? The actors were never in the same room with each other and they killed off her character early on.

Mad respect for this comment. I figured it wasn’t you because that doesn’t sound like something you’d do. I’m glad you responded and share the same attitude as the rest.

I can smell what The Rock is cooking and it’s not abuse towards Rebecca.

I didn’t think it was you when she said “you call yourself an actor?” Doesn’t feel like something you’d say…

Rebecca Ferguson opens up on being screamed at by a co-star
Previously Rebecca Ferguson, who starred with Johnson in the 2014 film 'Hercules', shared her harrowing experience on the 'Reign with Josh Smith' podcast.
She said that one of her co-stars, whom she did not name, was so insecure and angry that he screamed at her in front of the whole crew, making her cry and feel humiliated.
Ferguson said that the co-star was number one on the call sheet and no one had her back.
She recalled that he would say things like “You call yourself an actor?”, “This is what I have to work with?”, and “What the f*** is this?” to her. “I stood there just breaking,” she said.
Rebecca Ferguson tells the co-star to 'f**k off' and works towards a tennis ball
Ferguson said that she decided to stand up for herself the next day and told the co-star to “f**k off” and get off her set.
Ferguson said that she was so scared but she refused to work with him anymore. She said that she asked the producers to let her work towards a tennis ball instead of facing him.
Ferguson said that the co-star had to turn around and she acted to the back of his head. “And I did,” she said, adding “And I remember thinking that time, I was so scared.”
Ferguson also confronted the director and asked why he allowed that behavior to continue. She said that the director admitted that he was not taking care of everyone else and was trying to fluff the co-star because he was so unstable.
“It was great from that moment, but it took so long for me to get to that. It’s within my last 10 or 12 years and I’ve acted since I was 16,” she said, Daily Mail reported.
