It’s a battle of the A-listers on TikTok after Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson knocked fellow actor Will Smith off the top spot.
The Rock now officially has the most followers on TikTok for an actor after securing 74.4 million of them.
After starting his career in WWE, Dwayne made a transition to Hollywood and has worked in several successful films like Fast & Furious, Jumanji, Fighting With My Family, and Black Adam, among others. Adding another feather to his cap, Dwayne Johnson has become the most-followed actor on TikTok.
Not just that, he is now also the most followed American man in the world. With these records to his name, the actor shared a gratitude-filled note for his fans on Instagram.
“Cool stuff setting a @guinnessworldrecords. Most Followed Actor on TikTok and Most Followed American Man in the World. Not too bad for a pimply face kid with an afro who grew up to become famous only for wearing a fanny pack and raising an eyebrow,” he wrote.
He’ll have to work hard to hold on to the title though, as the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air star isn’t too far behind him.
Will had held the record since 2022, with his followers steadily increasing.
They now stand at 74 million-strong, so it wouldn’t take much for him to catch up to the Moana star.
The Rock, who recently revived his wrestling career with a return to WWE, regularly takes his fans behind the scenes of his fame on his TikTok channel.
As well as documenting his WWE return of late, he also posts videos of himself working out in the gym, surprising shoppers by hand-delivering his Papatui skincare products, and his work with the Make-A-Wish Foundation.
Will, who describes himself as the “Same kid from West Philly”, also shares a glimpse into his fun showbiz life.
Lately, he’s been posting videos of himself and Bad Boys co-star Martin Lawrence as they return for a fourth instalment in the franchise, Ride or Die.
He also recently posted a clip of himself on stage at Coachella as he joined J Balvin for a performance of his movie soundtrack hit Men In Black.
He regularly shares meme-worthy clips from his life too.
