19 million followers on instagram.
The actor, now famous for his role as the Incredible Hulk, spent about nine years attending
classes and working at a dive bar.
Mark auditioned hundreds of times without getting a significant role.
Amazingly, Ruffalo once had a premonitory dream that he had a brain tumor, he said the
dream was so realistic that he went to the doctor to get it checked out and it turned
out that he actually had one.
He had to undergo surgery to remove the tumor, which was thankfully benign, although it did
result in him losing hearing in his left ear.
Number 14.
Arnold Schwarzenegger
Schwarzenegger, with about 21 million instagram followers, is best known for his outstanding
movie roles such as Conan the Barbarian and The Terminator, as well as his extensive body-building
career.
In 2003, Schwarzenegger pushed all that to the side, however, and was elected governor
of California.
During his tenure, he signed beneficial legislation which made the school meals in California
among the most nutritious in America.
He also refused his salary during his time as Governor, not only working for free but
also putting his lucrative movie career on hold.

franchise.

it has caused him to have a greater appreciation for everything he has in life.
Before becoming a famous actor he was competitive diver for 12 years.
Number 12.
Hugh Jackman
From The Greatest Showman to the Wolverine series, Hugh Jackman has a wide range of characters
that he embodies effortlessly.
His 29 million Instagram followers are often subject to dad-level goofiness in his posts
as he fights to make the world smile.
Jackman has a rough past, as his mom left when he was eight years old.
His mom moved on and started a new family, leaving the old one behind and a young Hugh
to fend for himself.

so well.

notably, Guardians of the Galaxy, Jurassic World, and Parks and Recreation.

Tommy Chong’s (of Cheech & Chong) daughter while working at Bubba Gump Shrimp.
Now Chris Pratt is married to Arnold Schwarzenegger’s daughter, Katherine Schwarzenegger.
Number 10.
Ryan Reynolds

over 783 million dollars in theaters and gained him an Instagram following of 37 million!
Long before he was ever cast in Deadpool, an issue of a Deadpool comic book from 2004
mentions Reynolds, saying that Deadpool looks like Ryan Reynolds mixed with a Shar-Pei dog.
Reynold's history isn’t all sunshine and rainbows, however.
Before he was in Green Lantern, he had a bad skydiving incident.
His parachute didn’t deploy when he jumped out of the plane, and it caused a significant
fear of flying from them on.
Reynolds says that playing the role of Green Lantern has helped him overcome that fear.
He also met his now-wife, Blake Lively, on the set of Green Lantern.
Number 9.
Tom Holland

favorite sweetheart (despite not being American).

43 million Instagram followers.
He gained fame from starring in five Marvel movies so far as Spiderman and has another
Spiderman movie slated for theaters in Fall 2021.
Holland has more talents than just acting though.
Growing up, he took ballet lessons to get a role as Billy Elliot in Billy Elliot: The
Musical.

had since.

He has stated he should’ve stopped filming to get it checked out, but instead, he kept
going.
Efron says this made it worse for his injury.
Zac Efron even tried out Tinder.

Number 7.
Chris Hemsworth

Universe, Thor.

of his life, as he’s also been in a few other movies like the Ghostbusters reboot
from 2016.
Hemsworth has done a handful of things aside from playing Thor, as well.
For example, he created a fitness app called Centr.
Its goal is to help people learn how to eat and train so they can live healthier lives.
Given Hemsworth’s first job was cleaning breast pumps for a pharmacy, it’s safe to
say he’s come a long way since then.
Number 6.
Leonardo DiCaprio
Leonardo DiCaprio has an incredible movie history, from What's Eating Gilbert Grape
to The Revenant, and he has accrued nearly 48 million instagram followers.
It is well known that it took years for DiCaprio to win an Academy Award, however, his first
nomination for one was at just 19 years old.
DiCaprio is well-known as an actor, but would like to be known as an environmentalist as
well.
He has donated over $1-million to the Wildlife Conservation Society to date, but is hardly
recognized for it.
He has also paid to go on a trip to space with Virgin Galactic.
Number 5.
Robert Downey Jr.

Number 4.
Will Smith
Movie star and 90s icon Will Smith is known for his roles in the Men in Black series and
The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.
Smith has a whopping 51 million followers on Instagram—no surprise considering he
became a millionaire before he turned 21.
This is largely because Smith was a rapper before he got into acting, and he was quite
successful with it, winning a Grammy for his song Parents Just Don't Understand in 1989.
You might think his full name is William but you'd be wrong, it's actually Willard Carroll
Smith

To date, his Instagram follower count is around 69 million.

spotlight.

other box office hits such as Find Me Guilty, Saving Private Ryan, and Guardians of the
Galaxy (he was groot).
Number 2.

films.
Like other members on this list, he has amassed quite a following, which currently sits at
107 million on Instagram.
Before becoming a comedian, however Hart was a shoe salesman.
He was pretty good at it, however, his ambition to be a comedian was much stronger than his
skill of selling.
At 5’2” his height in comparison to The Rock’s 6’4” towering stature in "Jumanji:
Welcome to the Jungle" makes for some hilarious scenes.
Number 1.
Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson
The Rock became famous for his time in the ring as a wrestler and has an incredible 227
million followers at current.
Johnson’s family are wrestlers as well, which likely contributed for his love of the
sport.
His good looks combined with the fact that professional wrestling involves a lot of acting,
made for a natural progression to the big screen.
In 2001, Johnson appeared in The Mummy Returns very briefly.
The Scorpion King, which came out in 2002, made around $36 million during its first weekend.
What many people don’t know, however is that Johnson has a devious past.
When he was in his teens, he used to steal Snicker bars from the local 7-Eleven nearly
every day.
7-Elevn tweeted that he didn't need to pay them back if he would give them a cameo in
a movie!
