Dwayne Johnson has officially scaled to the top of Forbes's 20 highest-paid actors list of 2024, and fans are roasting him brutally.

The actor dominated the list that came out just this week, beating out prolific names like Hugh Jackman, Kevin Hart, and Nicole Kidman and veterans like George Clooney.

However, fans are not happy, to put it lightly. Some have already taken to X to express their woes upon learning of the wrestler-turned-movie star dominating the list, with a few even joking that all he does is play different "fonts" of the same character in each movie.

"Lemme get a small loan of a million dollars," one user jokingly asked.
"$88m and not one good movie," an X user tweeted.

Check out what the rest of the internet is saying:

"Simply say highest paid person in movies, saying actor is quite a stretch," another on X dissed.
"bro doesn't even act," one more spewed.
"literally what did he even do," yet another probed.

One hilarious user on X had no words to say, though their choice of GIF was pretty self-explanatory:

Another backed the claims of many, many users on X, as they pointed out that all of the below images are from four different movies:


According to Forbes, Dwayne Johnson made most of his earnings through Moana 2 and Red Notice. However, while the internet is exempting the former, scores are taunting Red Notice, noting that it was subpar at best.
