Dwayne Johnson’s movies had such a good year at the box office in 2013 that he was named
Forbes Top-Grossing Actor of 2013. This year he starred in 4 movies, Snitch, Pain and Gain, G.I. Joe: Retaliation and Fast and Furious 6, and the last two are 2 of the top 25 grossing movies of the year. Robert Downey Jr stars in the top-grossing movie of the year and because of Iron Man 3 he is #2 on the list. Steve Carrell’s voice is heard in the 2nd top-grossing film, Despicable Me 2 and that lands him at #3. The Rock’s co-stars Vin Diesel and the late Paul Walker came in #4 and #6, respectively, thanks to Fast and Furious still burning up the box office after 6 movies. Sandra Bullock defies Gravity and takes The Heat off of other men as she is the first lady on the list at #5. Billy Crystal might not be hosting the Oscars, but his movies still make money. His Monsters University co-star John Goodman was right behind him thanks to the animated flick. Chris Hemsworth is the last man on the list followed by his brother’s co-star, Jennifer Lawrence. Maybe this year’s Oscar winner would’ve been higher up on the list if her films, Hungers Games: Catching Fire and American Hustle came out earlier.
As 2013 comes to a close and we get ready for next year’s movies, looks like The Rock will once again be on the list thanks to Hercules and Fast and Furious 7. Now where he will be, come back in a year and I will let you know.
