It will take someone really special to even replicate the success Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson has enjoyed in his acting career. He has had a long acting career and has acted in some super hit movies and continue to do so.

His first movie in a lead role was 'The Scorpion King' released in 2002. He was paid $5.5 million for the movie, a world record for an actor in his first starring role.

Rock has most notably played the role Luke Hobbs in the Fast and the Furious Franchise. He first appeared in Fast Five in 2011 and has been a part of every movie since. In addition to this, he has most notably played a lead role in Get Smart, Journey 2: The Mysterious Island, Faster, Snitch, G.I. Joe: Retaliation, Pain and Gain, Hercules, San Andreas, Central Intelligence, Baywatch, Rampage and Skyscraper.

He is set to reprise his role as Luke Hobbs in a spin-off of The Fast and the Furious series titled 'Hobbs & Shaw' in 2019. The movie will feature also Jason Statham, Vanessa Kirby and Idris Elba.

Johnson has also been playing the lead in the American TV Series, Ballers, since 2015 and the show has received a lot of positive reviews over the years.

In 2016, he was the world’s highest-paid actor according to Forbes as he cashed in $64.5 million!

Today, Johnson is much more than a WWE Wrestler or a Hollywood actor, he is one of the most influential people in the world and one of the most powerful celebrities on the planet.
