Rebecca Ferguson stirred the pot during the press tour for “Dune: Part Two,” which arrives in theaters this weekend, after she revealed that a former co-star “screamed” at her on set. While she was careful to not give any hints, the Internet is set to find out the identity of the perpetrator… Including Dwayne Johnson.
Johnson and Ferguson worked together in the 2014’s “Hercules.” But, according to the “Black Adam” actor, there’s no bad blood between them. “Hate seeing this but love seeing her stand up to bull****,” Johnson posted on X. “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 added.

Ferguson revealed that “an absolute idiot of a co-star” was “being so insecure and angry” cause they weren’t getting the scenes right, and she was “so vulnerable and uncomfortable that I got screamed at and I would cry walking off set.” However, she ultimately stood out for herself and talked with the director of the film.
Ferguson asked to not share the set with this actor never again
The “Dune” star shared the story on “Reign with Josh Smith” podcast, where she explained the whole situation. She said that the actor was “number one on the call sheet, there was no safety net for me. No one had my back.”
However, she took matters into her own hands and decided to fire back the following day on set. She told the actor “You get off my set. You can f- off. I’m gonna work towards a tennis ball. I never want to see you again.”
Producers said to her that the person couldn’t be kicked out of the set. “And I said, ‘The person can turn around and I can act to the back of the head.’ And I did. I was so scared. I feel it now when I’m saying it,” she recalled.

Ultimately, the director also addressed the situation, and they told her: “You’re right. I am not taking care of everyone else. I’m trying to fluff this person because it’s so unstable.” Ferguson said that the shoot “was great from that moment,” but it “took so long” to get to that.
