Dwayne Johnson tops Forbes list of highest paid actors

Dwayne Johnson was the highest paid actor of last year, according to the latest Forbes annual ranking.

It climbed from second place last year – despite gains of $ 89.4 million (£ 73.6 million) below $ 119 million (£ 98.1 million) in 2018.

The number one actor of last year, George Clooney, has left the top 10.

Indeed, his high revenues on the 2018 list were due to the sale of his tequila company, under a contract worth $ 1 billion (£ 753 million).

Over the last year, he has played in the Fast & Furious spin-off film, Hobbs & Shaw, Skyscraper, and has produced films like Fighting with My Family and Shazam !.

Later this year, he will play in Jumanji: The Next Level alongside Kevin Hart and Jack Black.

Elsewhere in the top 10 of this year, Chris Hemsworth climbed to second place with earnings of $ 76.4 million (£ 62.9 million)

Bradley Cooper has re-entered the top 10 for the first time since 2015, mainly due to directing, co-writing, co-producing and starring in A Star Is Born. It is the sixth largest livelihood at $ 57 million.

Having only played in one major film last year (Aladdin), Will Smith is down slightly this year, with gains of $ 35 million (28.8 million pounds) putting it in 10th place.
