Yeah, that happens too, Johnson said of his lateness.

But not that amount, by the way.

BothRed OnedirectorJake Kasdanand costarChris Evansalso defended Johnson in theGQstory.

[Johnson has] never missed a day of work ever," Kasdan said.

“He has a lot going on.

He can be late sometimes, but such is Hollywood thats the case with everybody.

Honestly, Ive made three big movies with him.

Ive never seen him be anything but great to every single person on the set.”

“So its all basic.

Its not like hes late unexpectedly, and I wouldnt even call it late.

He comes in slightly later on certain mornings, but its part of the plan.

Want more movie news?

“Ive said a thousand times: ‘Hey, Im here.

Come and ask me.

And Ill tell you the truth,'” he noted.

Red One,which stars Johnson as Santa Claus’s bodyguard,hits theaters on Nov. 15.
