Vin Diesel named top

All jokes aside, people aren't sick of the Fast and Furious franchise yet. Just ask Vin Diesel, star of 2017's Fate of the Furious and this year's top-grossing actor.

On Tuesday Forbesreported that Diesel earned an impressive $1.6 billion in global ticketing receipts in 2017, no doubt thanks to the eighth installment of the action franchise, which topped $1.2 billion in the global box office.

Trailing close behind Diesel was his Fast and Furious co-star Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, at $1.5 billion. (You may remember him from other, less successful 2017 films too, like Baywatch.)

And Wonder Womanstar Gal Gadot was the year's third top-grossing actor (and top-grossing woman), bringing in an impressive $1.4 billion.

In addition to Wonder Woman,which dominated the box office — earning $100.5 million in ticket sales during its first week — Gadot also starred in Justice League.

What does all this prove? Big action films won't be slowing down any time soon.
