Yep, believe it. These are 4 totally separate movies.

Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson has more than 28 films as the lead actor and made a combined $5B from all his hits.

He is arguably the most successful actor today.

He was a college football player, a WWE Hall of Famer, a Hollywood A-lister and a very astute businessman.

His Netflix movie Red Notice has become the most watched movie on the streaming platform with 328.8m viewing hours.

Who knows how “viewing hours” are defined.

His 2 Jumanji films made a combined $2.5B.

His work in the Fast and Furious franchise did more than $4B.

But rumours were he didn’t get along with the big boys there.

So what did he do?

Spin off and make Hobbs & Shaw, which crushed it at $758m.

Hard to believe but even his debut film The Mummy Returns raked in $433m!

And people till this day, still think it was the worst acting he ever did.

Even as a cartoon, Moana made $643m.

Kids absolutely adore him.

When he decided to become the buffest scientist ever and battle giant Gorillas and mutant Alligators, he made $428m with Rampage.

So what’s The Rock’s formula for his movies?

He always seem to play the macho, muscled Hollywood stereotype.

Truth is, he is simply just being himself.

Bald (but in a very suave, charming way), extremely jacked, deep manly voice, smouldering eyes to show intensity and always saving the day.

In his particular fashion, he loves the simple shirt to display his massive “guns”.

It works!

One day somebody is going to make a montage of all the films The Rock ever did and you will notice just how similar he is in all of them.

Try doing that to Gary Oldman, Christian Bale or Leonardo DiCaprio.

It won’t work, they are are too diverse.

Seems like everything Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson touches, turns to gold.

But the smartest move is yet to be revealed.

Stay tuned for part 2 to find out what is The Rock’s secret to becoming a Billionaire celebrity.
