You can tell everyone here is from America.

Literally every person on earth knows/has heard of Leo and Tom Cruise.

The Rock is huge but he doesn't have that sort of notoriety.


Even guys like Bradd Pitt, George Clooney, Johnny Depp are probably more known.

You have to think how far some of the films these people are in, reach.

Where as Central Intellgence or whatever other soft, filler movie the rock is in at the moment doesn't have that same reach.

Yeah, we're notoriously myopic. When they have People's Most Beautiful People lists, it never includes non-Americans unless they have immigrated over here.

According to google though the most famous actor isn't even American:

The numbers prove that Bollywood's Shah Rukh Khan is the biggest movie star in the world. India's film industry turns out more films annually than both the U.S. and China. In 2012, Bollywood sold 2.6 billion cinema seats, compared to Hollywood's 1.36 billion tickets. In 2014, Khan was making more money than Tom Cruise.

Chris Pratt still isn't recognizable to casual movie goers. And history means something. RDJ biggest movie is stil lthe Avengers. He was Charlie Sheen status prior to it. Will and Tom Cruise haven't had blockbusters in years and still do what they want..in states and overseas.

I thought it was robert downey jr.
I'd say he has the strongest comeback for a Og Hollywood 'bad boy' to a former white boy junkie to being Iron Man. It is rare to recover and recreate the success as a bigger star than he was before he went down his path of drugs the way he did.

I know hollywood is full of junkies who come back and get sober & find success again but RDJ is like a whole level of his own. On some straight up Unicorn level shyt.

I think that's a bit like the cricket theory, which i think is officialy the 2nd biggest sport behind soccer, because of india basically. But no one gives a fukk in the grand scheme.

But yeah, i don't have a clue who shah khan is. I imagine they have about 50 'stars' called Khan to be honest:mjlol:

It's the same with Bradd Pitt. I mean the guy is held as a standard of attractiveness in western culture "he's no bradd pitt" etc etc so everyone knows him for that not to mention the anniston/jolie stuff.
