The Rock Makes Highest-Paid Celebrities List, NFL Alum Discusses Brock Lesnar

— Forbes has named The Rock as one of the highest-paid actors in Hollywood over the past twelve months. Forbes’ list of the highest-paid celebrities has Rock ranked at #19 with $64.5 million, ranking only behind Kevin Hart ($87.5 million) on the list.

The article says, “Rock-solid box office numbers helped the erstwhile wrestler become the world’s highest-paid actor. Since helping launch the billion-dollar Fast and Furious franchise and leading 2015’s San Andreas to a surprising $473 million worldwide, Dwayne Johnson has become Hollywood’s go-to action hero. Next up for the beefy star: a starring role in the upcoming Baywatch remake. ‘I can kick ass better than anyone on the planet,’ he once told FORBES. ‘And I have a decent smile.’”

— Nate Burleson recently spoke with ESPN and recalled Brock Lesnar suplexing a player during his NFL tryout in 2004. Burleson, a former Vikings player, said that when Lesnar was trying out for the team after he left WWE he suplexed a player during a joint practice with the Kansas City Chiefs.

“Somebody cheap-shotted Daunte Culpepper late,” Burleson said. “And Brock was like, ‘Who did it?’ The next play, he went and suplexed the guy. He picked up a grown man after the play. It was a Royal Rumble: Minnesota versus Kansas City. … That was a nasty suplex on the football field.”
