Along with Forbes naming him the highest-paid actor in the world in August with $64.5 million earned in the past year, People magazine has just anoited him the Sexiest Man Alive in its annual issue.
Johnson has been able to do this by looking good while gaining major coin from franchises like "Fast and the Furious" and "San Andreas," which have put his lifetime worldwide box-office gross at over $6 billion. And coming up he's got a "Baywatch" movie and "Jumanji" sequel.
He's also stepping into the superhero world in the near future, as he's signed on to be Doc Savage.
That's not to mention his other endeavors like a YouTube channel, a production company, and endorsement deals. And Johnson knows how to connect with his fans via social media like no other star.
Here we look back on the incredible career of The Rock, from a washed-up football player with only $7 to his name to Hollywood mega-star.
