The Rock is known to stick up for people who he’s worked with, especially if they are in his circle of friends. It seems that one of his former co-stars went through a bad experience, and Dwayne Johnson wants to handle things in his own way.
Rebecca Ferguson disclosed during an episode of the Reign with Josh Smith podcast that she had confronted an actor on a film set after they directed abusive remarks toward her.
Rebecca Ferguson Speaks Out
During the interview, she said, “I did a film with an absolute idiot of a co-star, and this human being was being so insecure and angry, because this person couldn’t get the scenes out, and I think I was so vulnerable and uncomfortable that I got screamed at, and I would cry walking off set.”
Dune's Rebecca Ferguson reveals she refused to work with former co-star after being 'screamed at' on set. This is reminder to *ALWAYS* stand up for yourself!

Her revelation has led to speculation about the identity of the actor. Ferguson did not specify the gender of the individual. Notably, Ferguson is presently featured in Dune: Part Two. Ferguson has eliminated Hugh Jackman and Tom Cruise from consideration, both of whom she appeared alongside in The Greatest Showman and Mission Impossible.
The Rock seemingly distanced himself from the online speculation by expressing his support for Ferguson, with whom he collaborated on the film Hercules in 2014.
Hate seeing this but love seeing her stand up to bullsh*t. Rebecca was my guardian angel sent from heaven on our set. I love that woman. I’d like to find out who did this.

Internet Detectives Are on the Case
In case you’re wondering, internet detectives are on the case. One fan posted in response to The Rock’s tweet to say, “LMAO thanks for tweeting it this and helping us narrow it down. Has to be Hugh Grant, then he’s the only one where she doesn’t have any press photos/ red carpet photos next to him. She has multiple photos with Fassbinder and Jake Gyllenhaal.”

We will have to see if the mystery is ever solved, but The Rock is 100% behind Ferguson, and he’s not going to stand for anyone treating her in a negative fashion.
