TRANSCRIPT
Topping the list of the Forbes 2018 highest paid actors is: George Clooney... "I'm not the guy that you kill, I'm the guy that you buy." The star of Michael Clayton, Ocean's Thirteen and other movies pulling in 239 million before taxes, despite not having any hits out. That's because a lot of his earnings came from money a conglomerate said it would pay for a tequila company Clooney co-founded.
In second place behind the 57-year-old, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, with 124 million pretax.
And the highest paid actress this year pulled in 40.5 million - Scarlett Johansson plays black widow in Marvel's Avengers movies.
