Top 49 Influential Men: The Rock 45

Dwayne Johnson, aka The Rock, has had one of the most successful post-WWE careers of any wrestler, proving his acting chops time and time again. This year, he reprised his role in the most successful action-movie franchise of all time, The Fast and the Furious, and even returned to wrestling, beating out CM Punk for the WWE Championship and then losing to John Cena in April. This return to his roots hasn't distracted him from his Hollywood ambitions, though. Johnson is confirmed for the title role in Hercules: The Thracian Wars as well as for Fast & Furious 7 and earthquake flick San Andreas.
