Dwayne Johnson has confirmed he still urinates in water bottles while working out, revealing the gyms he uses don’t come with restrooms.

The Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle star actor first mentioned his odd weightlifting behaviour in a 2017 Instagram video, and in a new Esquire interview he lets his peeing story flow.

“I do pee in my water bottles but let me give context to that,” he told the publication. “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 work out in don’t have a bathroom because they’re the iron paradise. They’re just hot, sweaty and dirty, so I break out the bottle.”

During his chat with Esquire, Johnson revealed he’s not so disciplined that he cannot enjoy the fast food and high-calorie meals he often chronicles on social media.

“I do really have cheat days. They’re not just for Instagram,” he said. “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.”
