I went through that list and was blown away by the fact that only ten actors (I'm talking just the guys here) made that list and that they placed Rob fifth, behind Depp, Pitt, Hanks and Stiller AND ahead of Cruise, Sandler, Clooney, DiCaprio and Downey Jr.; actors who've been at this business for nearly two decades or more.
With just a year and a half of stardom under his belt to be placed in such company is nothing short of amazing. Not to mention that they gave Rob the front and center postiton on the cover. They know who's selling magazines.
And while the public could probably care less about this sort of thing ('cause it's not a celebrity thing but rather an industry thing) this yearly Forbes ranking is considered quite prestigious within the industry. And that's because it's about POWER. And out of ALL the actors in the world, to be ranked this high is just one more step towards his legitimacy as a true film star. An astounding tragectory for him.
Being placed on this list is so much more important in terms of his standing within the industry, than winning some Pop Sugar bullshit poll or winning an MTV Movie Award. But the public doesn't realize that. So something like this just gets passed over with a yawn and just 2 comments on the thread.
Oh. And the fact that out of ALL the stars and industry giants (directors, producers) in show business in all mediums (films, music, television), that they placed Rob 50th on that list. 50th out of EVERYBODY. I dunno. I'm impressed.
Pop Sugar, MTV, Who's Hot Who's Not, etc. Not so much. 'Cause that's just celebrity bullshit. It means nothing.
@ Nik - It means he will really be able to call the shots now as far as his career is concerned. I think he will end up producing as well as acting - getting those small films made as well as starring in big movies - amazing at just 24......! I wonder if he sometimes wakes up in the moring pinching himself to see if it is all a dream!
Great for Kristin too - who was she ranked alongside with in the business? - Great to see more women in Hollywood gaining the status they deserve - although they will still be banging their heads against the glass ceiling! Especially as actresses have a shorter career span than actors in hollywood in terms of bankability and roles as they start to get older. Hope both Rob and Kristin act on the power they are accumulating!

Great from Kristin too - who was she ranked with in the business - great to see more women in Hollywood gaining the status they deserve - although they will probably still be smashing their heads against the glass ceiling!
