The salaries of Hollywood's biggest stars have been revealed throwing forward some interesting findings - mainly that actors can't demand as large a pay packet as they once could decades ago.
Still, the fact remains those stars do still exist and - somewhat unsurprisingly - they're mostly male.
Sitting atop the list is Daniel Craig for his as-of-yet untitled forthcoming Bond film which will see him net a whopping $25m (£18.5m) while box office titan Dwayne Johnson has earned $22m (£16m) for 2019 action comedy Red Notice.
That amount beats Johnson's Fast & Furious 8 co-star Vin Diesel who received $20m (£14.8m) for the 2017 sequel starring Charlize Theron.
This is when the female stars get a look in with Anne Hathaway shooting to the highest-paid list with $15m (£11m) for 2020's long-delayed Barbie film alongside Jennifer Lawrence who netted the same amount for Red Sparrow.
Variety reports that Leonardo DiCaprio has halved what he would have received for a blockbuster such as Inception to appear in Quentin Tarantino's next project, Once upon a Time in Hollywood, for which he'll be paid $10m (£7.4m) - the same amount Robert Downey Jr earned for just 15 minutes of screen time in Spider-Man: Homecoming.
It\s worth noting that this report is based on a single film of a particular actor - Johnson will likely retain the crown of Hollywood's highest-paid actor due to the seer quantity of films he stars in.
