Lately, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson hasn’t had a very great time on the silver screen. His last big project Black Adam ended up performing below expectations at the box office. However, the wrestler-turned-actor has always been regarded as a bankable actor. As a matter of fact, in his prime, he used to earn millions for doing cameos. In 2010, Dwayne Johnson was reportedly paid a whopping amount for a small role in “The Other Guys”.
Talk about the world’s top-paid actors, Johnson’s name will be on the list every year. In fact, he has pocketed over $595 million from movies in the last 10 years. Sometimes, his earnings for making guest appearances are much more than the full-time salary of many actors.
Dwayne Johnson earned $9 Million for doing a cameo in “The Other Guys”
With Mark Wahlberg and Will Ferrell as the main lead, the 2011 movie was a buddy cop action comedy. It had a decent run at the box office, earning over $170.9 million worldwide. Moreover, the movie won the best film award at that year’s Comedy Awards.
Dwayne Johnson, alongside Samuel L. Jackson, also played a small part in The Other Guyz. The duo appeared as Detective Chris Danson and Detective P.K. Highsmith. Though both of them died in the first 15 minutes of the movie.
The role might appear small, but the payment he received for that wasn’t small in any way. Multiple reports claim the makers of The Other Guys paid Dwayne Johnson $9 million for that role. The amount was very high considering the role he had in the movie.
