Despite Amassing $1.5 Billion Fortune Off of Action/Adventure Genre, Dwayne Johnson’s Biggest Fear Is Smaller Than His Pinky Finger

Dwayne Johnson is one of the biggest actors in the movie industry right now. One of the things that make people come to his movies in droves is his openness to outdo himself when it comes to action movies. Doing the majority of his scenes, there is little to nothing that Johnson fears.

But even The Rock is human at the end of the day, and his fear just might make you laugh, comparing it to the muscle beast that is, Dwayne Johnson.

What is the thing that scares Dwayne Johnson?

While we all know about Johnson’s fearlessness when it comes to high-octane action scenes, we don’t know much about his fears. Even Johnson, who is a muscle buff, is scared of one thing and it just happens to be spiders. Johnson has arachnophobia, the fear of spiders which he shares with another Hollywood actor, Justin Timberlake.

Despite that, on The Ellen Show, in 2007, when he was just starting his acting career, Johnson displayed bravery by holding up a spider. With the help of Ellen Degeneres, who held his hands, Johnson was able to let a professional place a spider in his palms. While the spider looked tiny compared to The Rock, his presence made Johnson laugh awkwardly while his greatest fear walked all over his hands.

It is astonishing that someone with DJ’s physique is afraid of spiders. But it seems apart from that everything else is The Rock’s cup of tea and that is how was he able to amass such a grand fortune with only action/adventure movies.

The Rock’s massive fortune off of action and adventure movies over the years

After a series of hits and misses at the box office, Johnson wanted to change the trajectory of his acting career in the 2000s. With his role in the Fast Five, Johnson successfully turned his luck and started to exclusively feature in action movies. From Rampage to Jumanji to Skyscraper, Johnson gave audiences a plethora of action movies.

Just totaling his success with big-budget action movies, Johnson’s movies made over $1.5 billion at the box office. Especially with the two Jumanji movies and Jungle Cruise in 2021, Johnson must have come across a lot of spiders in the forests. But he pushed through and now stands as one of the most successful actors in the 2010s and 2020s and the richest actor as well.
