But The Rock inched his way past Downey Jr on the Forbes list not with a single film but a flurry of action-packed movies, including Fast And Furious 6 and G.I. Joe
Retaliation.
Although, the Iron Man star is still the highest-earning actor, dragging in over $29million more than Dwayne in personal earnings with a whopping $75million.
But Johnson may continue to out gross Downey Jr as he has a slew of promising blockbusters in the pipeline for 2014, whereas Robert's filming schedule is predominantly smaller films.

Sitting in third place is Steve Carell, who earned the spot with his highly successful animated sequel Despicable Me 2, which pulled in $919million.
