Dwayne Johnson, an American-Canadian movie star better known by his ring name The Rock, has topped Forbes’ annual list of highest-paid Hollywood actors for the second year in a row.
The 48-year-old retired professional wrestler raked in an eye-popping $87.5 million for the 12 months leading up to June 1, according to Forbes, which dropped its annual list of money makers on Tuesday.
The Rock is said to have made $23.5 million from Netflix for his role in ‘Red Notice’, a yet-to-be-released movie. He also secured another huge payday with his successful Under Armour apparel line called Project Rock.
Ryan Reynolds, ‘Deadpool’ star, took the second spot with $71.5 million, while Mark Wahlberg, an actor and former rapper, was third on the list with earnings of $58 million.
‘Spencer Confidential’, Wahlberg’s action movie, was Netflix’s third-most-watched original film after it debuted in March.
