The Rock Paid Twice As Much As Female Co-Star For Latest Movie

I don’t know if anything should be read into this, but the news is the news. According to a new report from TMZ, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson is going to be paid twice as much as his female co-star, Emily Blunt, in their upcoming movie, Jungle Cruise.

The report says that The Rock is getting $22 million to play the lead male character, Frank, while Blunt is only getting $9 million to play the lead female, Lily.

It has been a long time since we’ve seen The Rock in a WWE ring; he spoke about this at the premiere of his movie Skyscraper:

Johnson is currently Hollywood’s second highest-paid actor, behind Daniel Craig of the James Bond movie franchise.

He has been rumored to return to WWE in 2019, but nothing is confirmed at this point.

My British voice is beautiful & sexy. Their “Rock voice” is repugnant & nauseating. The cast that trains together.. stays together. And the cast that talks smack to each other.. become LIFERS. Just your typical day in the IRON PARADISE with my JUNGLE CRUISE ohana, the relentlessly bad ass @jackwhitehall and the Incomparable One herself, Emily Blunt. Now bring it on in for a nice, long, sweaty, hug that goes on for way too long making it beautifully weird, while wearing 50lb chains. #MaryPoppinsAndMaui??? #JackIsABeast?? #IronParadise #JungleCruiseOhana #Lifers

Editor’s Opinion:

I wouldn’t read too much into this, even though the gender gap has bene prevalent in Hollywood for years. The Rock is one of the top movies in the world and his salary will reflect that, no matter what movie he is in.
