The Rock has said he wants to find out the co-star who Rebecca Ferguson refuses to work with after they apparently screamed at her.
Earlier this week, the 40-year-old detailed her awful experience with an A-lister that left her in tears.
Speaking on the Reign with Josh Smith podcast on Tuesday (February 27), the Swedish actor opened up on her career so far and made some surprising revelations.
The Dune star has obviously had a stellar career to date, but there is one star Ferguson is certain she'll never work with again.

“I remember there was a moment and this human being was being so insecure and angry because this person couldn't get the scenes out,” Ferguson said of a former co-star.
“But because this person was number one on a call sheet, there was no safety net for me.
"So, no one had my back. And I would cry walking off set.”
Ferguson did expand on her comments, saying the individual in question would belittle her in front of the whole crew.
They would say things like 'You call yourself an actor?', 'This is what I have to work with?', and 'What the f**k is this?, according to Ferguson.

The actor did not name the individual in the podcast - though she said it wasn't Hugh Jackman or Tom Cruise, who she acted alongside in The Greatest Showman and Mission Impossible franchise respectively.
Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson has now spoken out on the situation, saying he hopes to find out who the individual is.
"Hate seeing this but love seeing her stand up to bulls**t. Rebecca was my guardian angel sent from heaven on set. I love that woman. I’d like to find out who did this," the Fast and Furious actor penned on X.
While Ferguson didn't directly name the person, she did suggest it's someone she's worked with in the 'last 10 or 12 years'.
She did get to the stage where she had enough, ultimately standing up to the individual and telling them to ‘f*** off.’
However, producers apparently insisted the co-star could not leave the set.
She went on to say that she did later receive an apology from the director.
"The director said, ‘You’re right. I am not taking care of everyone else. I’m trying to fluff this person because it’s so unstable’,” she said.
