Bizarre! Hollywood star Dwayne Johnson reveals why he urinates in water bottle at the gym
Hollywood star Dwayne Johnson addressed his old comments about urinating in water bottles while working out.
In a new interview with Esquire, the actor shared the reason behind his eyebrows-raising habit, reports aceshowbiz.com.
“I do pee in my water bottles but let me give context to that,” the ‘Red Notice’ star said.
“It’s not a water bottle that I’ve actually purchased solely for water that you wash and clean when you’re done using it. These are just bottles that I’m no longer using.
“Usually the gyms that I workout in don’t have a bathroom because they’re the iron paradise. They’re just hot, sweaty and dirty,” he added.
The ‘Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle’ star also shared that he has to relieve himself quite often because he likes to remain “pretty hydrated” throughout the day.
“I break out the bottle,” he said.
Johnson first talked about him relieving himself in bottles in a 2017 Instagram video.
At the time, the former professional wrestler said that he did it because he “doesn’t have time” to stop for a bathroom break.
In the interview, Johnson also touched the topic of his allegedly over-the-top cheat meals.
“I do really have cheat days. They’re not just for Instagram,” he explained. “I bring new meaning to the term gluttony. I’m pretty disciplined throughout the week in terms of my working out, in terms of my diet and when Sunday rolls around, it’s time to go to town.”
Johnson, who has always been dedicated to his fitness regimen, shared that he further intensifies his workout after getting the titular role in the DC Comics superhero movie ‘Black Adam’, which is set to premiere in 2022.
“My superhero dreams have come true. I’m honoured to join the iconic #DCUniverse and it’s a true pleasure to become, BLACK ADAM,” so he raved back in 2019.

Casino Days Reveal Internal Data on Most Popular Smartphones
International online casino Casino Days has published a report sharing their internal data on what types and brands of devices are used to play on the platform by users from the South Asian region.
Such aggregate data analyses allow the operator to optimise their website for the brands and models of devices people are actually using.
The insights gained through the research also help Casino Days tailor their services based on the better understanding of their clients and their needs.
Desktops and Tablets Lose the Battle vs Mobile
The primary data samples analysed by Casino Days reveal that mobile connections dominate the market in South Asia and are responsible for a whopping 96.6% of gaming sessions, while computers and tablets have negligible shares of 2.9% and 0.5% respectively.
The authors of the study point out that historically, playing online casino was exclusively done on computers, and attribute thе major shift to mobile that has unfolded over time to the wide spread of cheaper smartphones and mobile data plans in South Asia.
“Some of the reasons behind this massive difference in device type are affordability, technical advantages, as well as cheaper and more obtainable internet plans for mobiles than those for computers,” the researchers comment.
Xiaomi and Vivo Outperform Samsung, Apple Way Down in Rankings
Chinese brands Xiaomi and Vivo were used by 21.9% and 20.79% of Casino Days players from South Asia respectively, and together with the positioned in third place with a 18.1% share South Korean brand Samsung dominate the market among real money gamers in the region.
Cupertino, California-based Apple is way down in seventh with a user share of just 2.29%, overshadowed by Chinese brands Realme (11.43%), OPPO (11.23%), and OnePlus (4.07%).
Huawei is at the very bottom of the chart with a tiny share just below the single percent mark, trailing behind mobile devices by Motorola, Google, and Infinix.
The data on actual phone usage provided by Casino Days, even though limited to the gaming parts of the population of South Asia, paints a different picture from global statistics on smartphone shipments by vendors.
Apple and Samsung have been sharing the worldwide lead for over a decade, while current regional leader Xiaomi secured their third position globally just a couple of years ago.
Striking Android Dominance among South Asian Real Money Gaming Communities
The shifted market share patterns of the world’s top smartphone brands in South Asia observed by the Casino Days research paper reveal a striking dominance of Android devices at the expense of iOS-powered phones.
On the global level, Android enjoys a comfortable lead with a sizable 68.79% share which grows to nearly 79% when we look at the whole continent of Asia. The data on South Asian real money gaming communities suggests that Android’s dominance grows even higher and is north of the 90% mark.
Among the major factors behind these figures, the authors of the study point to the relative affordability of and greater availability of Android devices in the region, especially when manufactured locally in countries like India and Vietnam.
“And, with influencers and tech reviews putting emphasis on Android devices, the choice of mobile phone brand and OS becomes easy; Android has a much wider range of products and caters to the Asian online casino market in ways that Apple can’t due to technical limitations,” the researchers add.
The far better integration achieved by Google Pay compared to its counterpart Apple Pay has also played a crucial role in shaping the existing smartphone market trends.
