Having initially made his name in wrestling, it would seem The Rock has now officially dominated the movie industry too.
Alongside the news that Taylor Swift is the world’s highest paid celebrity, Forbes also released info that Johnson raked in $64.5 million, giving him the highest earnings for an actor this year.
Johnson took to Instagram to celebrate the news:
Alongside the post, he stated: ‘Receiving news like this will always serve as my anchoring reminder to continue to work even harder. We not only want to "embrace the grind", but take the grind to new levels.
‘Greatness is never achieved alone. Surround yourself with hungry, brilliant individuals who not only buy into your philosophy, but who are all willing to work just as hard as you. Power of teamwork.
‘And don't ever forget where you came from. I was evicted at 14yrs old and completely broke by 23… We embrace and respect our past (even if it was f*cked up), but we never let it define our future. Let's stay hungry and chase that greatness.’
Well, he may not be the world’s most talented actor but he’s certainly one of its most charismatic.
The actor’s latest release, Central Intelligence, is in cinemas now.
