Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson hasn’t had the best of luck lately in movies. Black Adam, his previous significant film endeavor, ultimately underperformed at the box office. The former wrestler has always been thought of as a bankable actor, though. In fact, he used to make millions of dollars from appearances at his peak. Dwayne Johnson apparently received a huge sum in 2010 for a minor part in The Other Guys.
Johnson’s name will appear on any list of the highest-paid actors in the world each year. In fact, nearly $595 million of his earnings during the past ten years have come from movies. His profits from guest roles have occasionally exceeded many actors’ full-time salaries by a significant margin.

In The Other Guyz, Dwayne Johnson and Samuel L. Jackson, both had minor roles. Detective Chris Danson and Detective P.K. Highsmith were the actors who played the roles. Yet, they both passed away within the first 15 minutes of the film.
Although the position might have seemed minor, the compensation he received for it wasn’t negligibly small. According to numerous rumors, The Other Guys’ producers paid Dwayne Johnson $9 million for that part. In light of the part he played in the film, the sum was extremely high.

The Hollywood Mega Star is rumored to make a surprise appearance at Night 2 of WrestleMania 39
When it comes to the Showcase of Immortals, The Great One is supposed to always make an appearance. Because WrestleMania 39 will take place in Hollywood, there will be more speculations than ever. The Rock was previously expected to make a comeback during this year’s Royal Rumble, but that didn’t happen.
The Hollywood Mega Star, however, may make a cameo on Night 2 of WrestleMania 39, according to the most recent rumors. He might be one of Triple H’s planned shocks, according to rumors. Dave Meltzer said the same thing in January but added that he wouldn’t be wrestling.
