Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson wants names.

Following Rebecca Ferguson’s revelation that an “absolute idiot” co-star harassed her on set, the action star came to her defense on social media.

“I hate to see this, but I love watching her take on the bulls,” said Johnson, who starred alongside Ferguson in “Hercules.” commented below a clip of his interview via (formerly Twitter) Wednesday.

“Rebecca was my guardian angel sent from heaven on our set, I love that woman,” the 51-year-old added.

“I would like to know who did this.”

Johnson’s comment comes just one day after the Swedish-born actress divulged that an unnamed male co-star made her life hell on the set of a movie.

“I made a movie with an absolutely idiotic co-star and this human being was so insecure and angry because this person couldn’t pull off the scenes,” the “Mission Impossible” star, 40, recalled on Tuesday’s episode of the “Mission: Impossible” podcast. Reign with Josh Smith.”

“And I think it was so vulnerable and uncomfortable that they would yell at me and I would cry when I left the set.”

Ferguson added that she felt helpless because the anonymous person was the star of the film and “No. 1” on the call sheet.

“This person would literally look at me in front of the entire crew and say, ‘You call yourself an actor?’ Is this what I have to work with?’ I stood there, devastated,” she recalled. “This person was number one on the call sheet, there was no safety net for me. Nobody supported me.”

Finally, after days of being berated, she said she mustered up the courage to tell the actor, “Get off my set. You can go out. I’m going to work to get a tennis ball. I do not want to see you again.”

However, despite her moment of bravery, the producers were not as supportive, reportedly telling her, “You can’t do this to number one. We have to let this person be on set.”

She continued, “And I said, ‘The person can turn around and I can act on the back of the head.’ And I did it. She was so scared. I feel it now when I say it.”

The “Dune” star finally addressed the tense situation with the director, who reportedly told her, “You’re right. I’m not taking care of everyone else. I am trying to fool this person because he is very unstable.

“It was great from that moment on, but it took me a long time to get there,” he concluded.
