Dwayne Johnson is the No. 1 man as he  ranked highest on the Forbes list for top-grossing actors.

Dwayne  Johnson took the No. 1 spot in the Forbes list of top-grossing actors in  2013, while his “Fast & Furious 6” co-stars Vin Diesel and the late Paul  Walker made the top six, the magazine said on Monday.

The Rock, as Johnson is known since his wrestling career, bested “Iron Man  3” star Robert Downey Jr. by starring in four films in 2013, including “G.I.  Joe: Retaliation”, that collectively brought in $1.3 billion at the global box  office.

“Iron Man 3” is the highest-grossing movie so far in 2013 with $1.2 billion  in worldwide ticket sales.

Forbes makes the list by compiling how many dollars each star’s movies  brought in at the box office worldwide this year. It does not reflect actors’  individual earnings.

The ‘Fast & Furious 6’ star  ranked above his co-stars Vin Diesel and the late Paul Walker, who both landed  in the top six of the Forbes list.

ThThe sixth installment of the highly profitable street-car racing “Fast and  Furious” franchise earned $789 million at the box office, and the deep-voiced  Diesel added the $98 million from the third movie in his “Riddick” series to  come in fourth on the Forbes list.

“Fast & Furious 6” alone pushed Walker into sixth place. The 40-year-old  actor, who died last month in a fiery car crash, was filming the seventh  installment of the franchise and Universal Pictures, a unit of Comcast Corp, has  not yet said how the film will work around his death.

Comedic actor Steve Carell ranked third on the list thanks to the success of  the animated film “Despicable Me 2” in which he voices the evil mastermind  Gru.

Actress Sandra Bullock came in at No. 5 with two big wins at the box office:  the critically acclaimed outerspace thriller “Gravity” and the female cop comedy  “The Heat.”
