Dwayne Johnson received $23.5 million in payment and completed all filming for a movie in a record-breaking 4 months, generating $671 million in profits

From starting his career in WWE, Dwayne Johnson has clearly come a long way to become one of the most sought-after Hollywood actors. Although a lot of people were initially doubtful about his acting capabilities, he has certainly made sure to shut them up over time.

Not only that, but he has featured in some of Hollywood’s most popular and highest-grossing franchises that have gone a long way to help amass his massive 800 million fortune.

For example, his performance in the Jumanji series has been talked about endlessly because of the way it absolutely stunned people.

His best friend Kevin Hart’s inputs and their eccentric dynamic surely didn’t hurt. However, what many do not know, is the third sequel of the franchise in 2019 took about four months to make.

This is quite astonishing as most big-budget commercial movies take about a year to finish post-production. What is yet more astonishing was the hefty paycheck he got from just four months of shooting.

The Jumanji franchise was rebooted in 2017 with the sequel Jumanji Welcome to the Jungle, and Dwayne Johnson immediately became part of the original cast through that.

In fact, the movie was such a hit not only because of the nostalgia it sparked among fans who have been waiting for the story to progress since 1995 but also because of just how fun and exciting the movie was.

Set decades after the first movie, it shows a bunch of teenagers finding Jumanji, now as a videogame, while cleaning their school’s basement for detention. After choosing their Avatars, they immediately get sucked into the world of the game as their Avatars.

These are, obviously, the archeologist explorer Dr. Xander “Smolder” Bravestone played by Dwayne Johnson, Kevin Hart’s zoologist Franklin Finbar, cartographer and paleontologist Professor Shelly Oberon played by Jack Black, and Karen Gillan’s martial artist Ruby Roundhouse.
