Fast and Furious Star Vin Diesel has been announced as Forbes' top grossing actor of 2017.

The 50-year-old topped the list for the last 12 months with a total of $1.6 billion, largely due to his appearance as Dominic Toretto in the Fast and Furious franchise.

His co-star Dwayne Johnson came in second place with $1.5 billion, while Gal Gadot made an impressive $1.4 billion for her breakthrough lead role in Wonder Woman.
