Vin Diesel, Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson, and Gal Gadot all topped Forbes’ Top Grossing Actors of 2017 list thanks to the success of their action-packed films released this year.
Diesel was number one on the list with his global ticket sales pulling in over $1.6 billion, which in large part came from the eighth installment of the Fast and Furious franchise Fate of the Furious. Released in April, the film became the second highest grossing in the franchise making $1.2 at the international box office.
Success of the Fate of the Furious also helped to propel Diesel’s costar Dwayne Johnson to second place on the list. The $174 million flop of Johnson’s summer film Baywatch, didn’t keep Johnson from pulling in $1.5 billion this year, and the recently released Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle is continuing to add to his total.
For her role as the titular character in Wonder Woman, Gal Gadot is also a top earner at $1.4 billion which was also boosted by the actress’ appearance in Justice League. Wonder Woman directed by Patty Jenkins earned $822 million globally putting it on it’s way to becoming the highest-grossing live-action film directed by a woman.
