It’s annoying seeing him in every movie


This is pretty funny. Wife and I were going to watch the new Jumanji and asked our 13 year old if he wanted to watch it. He said the same thing. "Isn't the Rock in it? He's in every movie"

Will Smith has peaked but almost 100% will make a HUGE comeback he's investing in social media more than any actor that's even remotely close to his level

Without question. Smith and his family are the biggest bunch of narcissistic douchebags in the country.


I have fond memories of DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince. But you're right. Fame changed him, or maybe Scientology.

Weird question. It’s like asking if George Clooney’s still the most handsome leading man.

I think a lot of people has passed Will Smith in popularity in the past.. Maybe 5 or so years and the Rock is one of them. With that said, I like the Rock and I like his show on HBO... Ballers.. But it seems like all the movies he makes are similar. I think one of the first movies he starred in was, one of "The Mummy" movies and since then, that's the type of movies he has been making.

I don't care for most his movies, but he is so likable. The Rock that is.

What was Will Smith's last hit? Suicide Squad? He barely acts now while Rock still makes 3 movies a year plus he has Ballers and other stuff he produces.

I don't think he has to act anymore. What's his net worth, 100 million?

The Rock is about the most popular actor out there. I think he’s great and a better actor than he gets credit for. Pain and Gain was a quirky gem and he killed that role.

Down to earth dude, funny as hell, keeps the political bs that you get from most Hollywood folk to well below bearable levels


His movies won’t win awards, but most movies that win awards suck anyway

Holy crap I was wrong. He's worth $250 million. He can do whatever he wants now.

Will Smith. I think in part he chooses to do less the days because for 250 million reasons.

Easily surpassed. You could make the argument that he’s surpassed everyone as the most likable and bankable star

One of my favorite Rock quotes.

"Be the person that when your feet touch the floor in the morning the devil says, 'aww shite.. they're up'."

His under armour line is their most successful line. His training shoes have sold out twice within 30 minutes of being released. He’s on fire
