Fast and Furious stars Dwayne Johnson and Jason Statham in battle of the best
They played sworn enemies in Fast & Furious 7 but in new action flick Hobbs & Shaw, Dwayne Johnson and Jason Statham are forced to partner up.
Johnson, 47, is Luke Hobbs, an agent of the US’s diplomatic security service and Statham, 51, plays Deckard Shaw, an outcast former British special forces operative.
Now on general release in the UK, it will be an explosive box office hit but if the stars were pitted against each other in real life, who’d come out on top?
EARNINGS:
As one of America’s highest grossing actors of all time, former WWE professional wrestler The Rock is both brains and brawn, having plowed his slice of the profits into shrewd investments and lucrative side hustles, earning him a staggering £230 million fortune.
No stranger to making sizeable bank deposits, Snatch star Jason has also grabbed himself a considerable slice of the action.
Who wins?
Jason’s still minted, but his £32 million stash is small change compared to Dwayne. The Rock splashes his cash on custom cars, which he won’t be lending to Jason any day soon after the hundreds of cars the Brit ruined in the Furious movies.
TOP OF THE MOPS
These bad-assed baldies weren’t always so follically challenged – both sported a full head of hair before they became old smoothies.
After a series of shocking hair styles in the 90s, The Rock finally embraced male pattern baldness and shaved it off.
Early in his aquatic career, high diver Jason had a slicked-back style that made him even more streamlined in the water.
Who wins?
The Rock’s hair was clearly so embarrassed it all fell out, while the young Jason probably had to swim faster to shake off the girl fans.
LOVE LIFE
Gentle giant Dwayne was married to his first wife Dany Garcia for 20 years.
The 50-year-old media mogul was considered the real force behind his powerhouse career while also CEO of her own wealth management company.
They split amicably in 2007 and have 18-year-old daughter, Simone.
The Rock has since had two more daughters with his long-term girlfriend, 38-year-old singer Lauren Hashian.
Jason got together with model Kelly Brook, 39, when she was just 18.
Everybody expected wedding bells but they split in 2004. He is engaged to 32-year-old model Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and they have a two-year-old son.
Who wins?
Dwayne’s former wife is impressive and, as much as we love Jason’s ex, in no way could our Kel be described as a media mogul.
SPORTING BACKGROUND
Both men’s careers took off after wearing tiny trunks in public. Dwayne became a hero to grapple fans as pro wrestler The Rock with the WWE for eight years, before transferring his acting talents to the movies.
