Dwayne Johnson recently expressed his support for his former co-star, Rebecca Ferguson, after she opened up about a distressing experience with an unnamed scene partner. Ferguson revealed on a podcast that she was screamed at by the individual, causing her to feel vulnerable and upset on set.
Johnson, who worked with Ferguson on the 2014 film Hercules, took to social media to condemn the behavior, stating that he was saddened by the situation but admired Ferguson for standing up against mistreatment. He referred to Ferguson as his 'guardian angel' during their time working together.
Speculation arose on social media regarding the identity of the scene partner, with Ferguson clarifying that it was not actors Hugh Jackman or Tom Cruise, with whom she had also shared the screen in other projects.
Ferguson recounted feeling unsupported and vulnerable due to the behavior of the individual, who she described as insecure and angry. She eventually stood up for herself by confronting the person and requesting to work with a tennis ball instead.
The actress's resilience and determination to address the mistreatment she faced garnered praise from fans and colleagues alike. Ferguson has since continued her successful acting career, starring in high-profile projects like Dune: Part Two.
Meanwhile, Johnson is gearing up for various upcoming projects, including a return to the Fast and Furious franchise and reprising his role as Maui in the live-action adaptation of Disney's Moana and its sequel.
