I don't buy it. Robert Downey Jr. is getting points on every movie he plays iron man in. I heard got north of 50 million for each avengers.
Unless they are talking total... He is in a grapefruit load of movies
-
How can he be making more than Pacino, Deniro, Day Lewis, Hanks, and other A-list stars, etc.
There is no way. He sucks as an actor. :-\ :-\ :-\
-
I like the Rock. He is entertaining to watch. Good for him.

Fake natty filt.

agreed. It makes me sad that this steroid bloated mediocrity of an actor gets paid so much.
-
how much did he make?

Actually it does make sense.. no one under 25 knows who Pacino and De nero are. It's the same way in which Justin Beiber sold more albums than (fill in any talented musician from the past).
Pacino and De Nero are actually "actors" in the true sense of the word, they can play any role. The Rock as one or two roles that he can play, with that said with this media/twitter/instagram/facebook look at me generation he will bring more of them to the movies than a good Pacino would
-
pacino and de niro have been doing pure shite lately: check dirty grandpa to see what i am talking about.
the rock has arnold's market and he is doing pretty good job milking it.
-
His acting is fine. No better or worse than 90% of other actors since it isn't really that difficult a skill.
Fair play to the guy. Seems like a good dude.
-
Rock is a great entertainer like arnold, he's a decent enough actor but he has charisma and personality that he brings to his movies like arnold. That's why both have now held the crown of highest paid actor

Sad state of affairs when such an actor can bypass legends like Pacino, Deniro, Day Lewis etc etc
They should really be rewarded for their craft.
Only roles Rock can do are action and tooth-fairy comedy-roles. Not quite as multifaceted and Pacino , DeNiro et al...

The Rock is typecast as a the big, juiced up action hero since he is a big juiced up guy. As he gets older, I think he might start taking more "diverse" roles and surprise a few people.
Acting isn't some complex science that only a select few are capable of doing. Hollywood seems to have done a good job convincing the public that this is the case though.
-
Deniro, Pacino etc etc, all excellent actors BUT what we are missing is action stars.
Back in the 80's and 90's we had Jean Claude, Arnold, Stallone, Steven Segal, Bruce Willis and a few others.
Fast forward to today we have Rock & Jason Statham.......will Rock ever win an Oscar, Acdemy Award etc?? Prob not but he fills the action movie gap

To fill the actionmovie-gap?
What about Ben Stiller, Jesse Eisenberg, Steve Carell, Zach Galafianakis, Seth Rogen, Seth MCFarlane, Jack Black, Jonah Hill, Rowan Atkinson, David Cross, Tracy Morgan, Rob Schneider, David Spade, Jim Parsons, Melissa McCarthy, Kevin Hart et al?
All impressive resumes and no strangers to action.

I don't - I think a jacked up samoan would look odd against the backdrop of rurual america during the Reconstruction era.

Most of those people are fat fucks or washed-up.

Kevin Hart is in a lot of movies. He blew up when Katt Williams lost the battle with weed, LOL!

Melissa McCarthy blew up as well.

Melissa McCarthy blew up as well.
She was born fat, LOL!
Being fat is one of the main reasons she's famous. I'm tired of reading complaints about fat-shaming, trying to find fat clothes, and so on. She's a fucking hypocrite and knows damn well some of the fans couldn't identify with a skinnier version.
-
Why is everybody surprised at this. It's always been this way. Tom cruise cannot act his way out of a wet paper bag yet was the highest paid actor. So was that steroid bloated Austrian bodybuilder. It's the action stars that make the big bucks. Not the so called great actors that use method acting, which is over rated by the way.
-
The Rock dont cry about being black (1/2) and being held down by the man...
-
If you're upset or put out by a dude you don't know making money then you're wasting energy. Good for him. He looks like what a lab would create if you asked them to come up with an action movie actor. Chicks love him also.
-
the sad thing here is not the rock's pay in itself. His pay reflects that he is the most sought after actor. Yes, big muscles and action is a nice for a chill evening with a movie, but it is not exactly a culturally informing event.
-

He ain't treated like a black because he doesn't act like one.
If he has ever cried about being half-black it would only be at 50 % capacity.
Not like the BLM-dindus.
-
Hard to believe that hes better paid than Dicaprio, maybe if he makes 10 movies and Leo 1 then hes getting more, maybe.
I dont even know 1 good movie from The Rock.

You're forgetting The People's Elbow. :)

Mummy 2 was good.
Great acting by The Rock in that one, especially in the final 30 mins.

Rags to riches...we got it.
Imagine Pacino on Instagram chiming about this, then pawning it off as an inspirational "follow your dreams poor folks" rant.
It's statistically impossible for most to achieve their dreams. Actor, pro ball player, world touring musician. Yes, it's possible...but very doubtful. Anyone can chime that on the top, what about all the getbiggers? You'd never hear a foolish quote like that. After all, most are concerned with Synthol, posing thongs, and who's on sauce.
How many want to be a baseball player when they grow up...a few million...number of ball players, about 800.
It's such a funny thing celebrities spew giving that poor child hope, until he realizes he's topped out as assistant manager at Lowes.
These rants get tiresome. Maybe when you're 12 they work. You thought high school parties would be great, drilling pussy left and right, yet you went home yanking it in a closet with tears of lube. Hollywood loves the ol' "you can do it". There are probably no more than 100 actors that command big money. So you're odds are through the roof.
Kids, be realistic with your skill set. I'm still hoping I get that janitor trainee position at the Waffle House down the road. Soon, Assistant to the manager of janitorial services. Then who knows from there...maybe 10 thousand posts on getbig....wait, now I'm reaching too far.

LOL @ "the craft"
It's acting. In the sphere of impressive artistic talents, it's bottom of the barrel. There are more people who can act well then those who cannot. We constantly see rappers, kids, washed-up pop stars, etc. enter into the TV/movie world, starring opposite "genius thespians" like Pacino, DeNiro and the like, doing just fine.
Years in drama classes and stage productions, hundreds of films to the resume, and Joe Blow who has two pop smashes jumps into some big movie and performs every bit as well. The director had pulled him aside for 15 minutes before principle shooting and they had a chat.
LOL
Happy for Rock.
-
I would agree to a big extent Fortress for cameos, but more in depth roles...say Johnny Depp roles...a hack would be a disaster. Acting is deceptive. Most people aren't convincing in acting roles...great actors make it look easy, like a great guitarist.
Main difference, no actor is doing a Yngwie piece for a cameo on a G3 tour. "Let's get Pacino up here." :)
Also, even simple lines would be a wreck with the majority of society trying them. Some are just terrible at being natural on camera. Basic roles though aren't too difficult, I agree.

Yes, they may be staring in roles next to the likes of Pacino and Deniro, but it doesn't mean they are giving good performances.
For example, in the Scent of a Woman, Al Pacino played a blind person. Russel Crowe played a schizophrenic person in a Beautiful Mind. In my Left Foot, Day Lewis played someone with cerebral palsy. To pull off the mannerism, body language and tone, etc, of someone with an impairment/disability, is EXTREMELY tough. The Rock would never be able to do so. I think you're undervaluing just how hard acting is, especially those roles like the ones described above.

Rock could never do that.
But then again, doesn't need to, since being an actionstar pays better than an actor playing a blind, schizophrenic person with cerebral palsy.

Of course.
I am just pointing to the fact that not anyone can be a good actor. Not everyone can pull off any role.

Yes action movie gap. Cmon now, most of those people are comedians and will always be type cast as such. Can you really picture Jack Black or Steve Carell in the Fast and Furious or GI Joe movies...
-
The thing is with the rock he or his agent has been clever enough to shoe horn him into big franchises like the fast and furious. His solo movies don't do that well like snitch, Hercules, san andreas etc but he adds something to the ensemble films or as a co-lead. Not like back in the day when people would turn out to see a movie led by arnold, sly, cruise, Willis etc. It's a different ball game today, as an individual star, a solo draw he's not in any of the guys league I mentioned.
-
Never buying the Hollywood smokescreen. Yes, there are better and worse, but in general, acting isn't much of a huge challenge.
-
I took drama all the way through high school and, with few exceptions, all my classmates could achieve decent performance, all with no prior formal training. Given a year or two of passionate focus, they all could have featured in almost any large-scale production.
-
For anyone that believes just 'anybody' can act, I urge you to go watch Knock Knock with Keano Reeves. Hands down the most horrendous acting I have ever witnessed.
If you don't fancy wasting your life watching, check out YouTube for knock knock worst acting. *shudders*
-
There is a hundred times worse than that. Watch "killer bitch" and I assure you that you'll change your mind.
;D

I meant from an actual Hollywood actor. But I just checked out the cover and that has to be worth a watch for a laugh. I know what I'll be watching on my next shit movie night!
-
Keanu's a rad dude and knows what he's doing as an actor. He plays each part how he so chooses. That some do not enjoy the choices made by some accomplished actors doesn't mean diddly.
One man's classical performance is another's embarrassment.
-
The Rock is kinda annoying now. All I ever see is him trying to show how hard he works out. Or him buying someone a gift and trying to get a standing ovation for it. Do nice shit and keep it to yourself. All this bragging, so lame.
-
I know what you're saying about Rock. His swimming in Hollywood has begun to affect his coolness factor.
-
The Rock when he was a getbigger.
-
Johnny Depp's net worth comes in in the form of "cash break" negotiations where he gets a % of the profits of all the films he does. He could buy and sell the Rock many times over.
-

His wrestling persona is one of my favourites.

Guess you haven't seen Tommy Wiseau in "The Room" then Waller?
Here we can talk about a Master of Acting
-
"It doesn't matter what your name is!!"
-
should be clarified that he PROBABLY makes the most money and ONLY for this past year, NOT that he's the highest paid actor.. he makes big dough, because he works so much doing anything and everything he can.. good or bad, no difference..not because he makes 1 movie a year and salary only, NOT because of how much he makes TOTALLY... guys like depp, smith, downey make bigger bucks and TRUE superstars who've been around forever, like for example tom cruise make HUGE bucks because they take a gross of the profits as well as a salary... cruise routinely can and does over the years make 50 million or more for his blockbusters when it's all said and done..
he johnson that is STILL can NOT carry a movie by himself that is NOT franchise or NOT action.. he's hot right now, but 5, 10, 15 years from now? he'll be long replaced....
as it is, he's certainly NOT the MOST or even among the most FAMOUS actors in the world, there are parts of this world where people wouldn't know him if he walked down the street and/or if they were told the name "dwayne johnson"...
this claim is akin to the world's most beautiful people cover person every year by people mag.. p.r. and agents working big time overtime to get paid by their client...
readers have to "read between the lines" with such claims....
-
I watched a documetary on him yesturday, I expected to see the rags to riches and come from nothing shit but from what i saw i never got the opinion things were tough for him. He was at all the wrestling matches as a kid watching his old man wrestle, then he went on to play football and decided wrestling his passion. So he told his dad and he said he'd train him. Then he called up Pat patterson for a meet and he was so impressed with him he called up vince and told him he's got potential. So Vince contacted him and the rest is history, family connections gave him easy stepping stones.

Bwahaha is that an aspergers actor? :D

There is no way. He sucks as an actor. :-\ :-\ :-\
You have to think it's his popularity, though.

Actually San Andreas made almost $500 mil and they are making a part 2. Anyone watching Ballers, it's pretty good.
-
The Rock should be "rocking" The Room II - a remake is in order.
-
It's not like Arnold was a great actor.
-
Must have been early figures I saw then, really doesn't need a sequel though.

They should re-boot Conan with The Rock, by Crom!
Thundarr The Barbarian would also amuse.

The rock might be highly paid, but Marcel "the cock" Bergsma is also highly paid from acting in some underground Dutch cinéma vérité movies.

Alexandra Daddario is sooo hot......True Detective 1st season...enough said!
