'Fast & Furious' stars lead Forbes list of 2013 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.
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."
