Forbes have released a list of the top-grossing actors for 2013 and it certainly makes for interesting reading.

The list is compiled depending on the box office success of various actors and actresses as opposed to their actual earnings.

According to Forbes, Robert Downey Jr. would have out-earned Johnson by $29 million from June 2012 to June 2013, which is the period they used for the Celebrity 100 list.

Johnson had two fairly big films to his name, the Fast & Furious 6 and G.I. Joe: Retaliation, both of which added up to a whopping $1.3 billion at the box office.

The top ten grossing actors according to Forbes were:

1. Dwayne Johnson – $1.3 billion
2. Robert Downey Jr – $1.2 billion
3. Steve Carell – $964 million
4. Vin Diesel – $887 million
5. Sandra Bullock – $862 million
6. Paul Walker – $789 million
7. Billy Crystal – $743 million
8. John Goodman – $743 million
9. Chris Hemsworth – $701 million
10. Jennifer Lawrence – $700 million

If we have learned one lesson from this year, the Fast and Furious is wiping all the other competition away.
