Debutant actors get a meager salary for their first project and their market value is decided later based on the number of hits and flops they give in the industry. Dwayne Johnson earned $5.5 million (around Rs 45 crore) for his debut film, The Mummy Returns, becoming the highest-paid debutant. However, now, another actor has surpassed him.
The actor we are talking about is an MMA Fighter who is all set to make his acting debut. Despite being an outsider with no prior connections in Hollywood, he has become world's highest-paid debutant. He is Cocnor McGregor.

Road House, starring Jake Gyllenhaal in the lead role, narrates the story of a former fighter turned recluse who takes up a job as a bouncer at a Florida Keys roadhouse. This puts him at loggerheads with some local crooks who want the roadhouse for their nefarious schemes. Conor McGregor plays a rowdy for-hire who is hired by the villains to take on Jake Gyllenhal’s character.
In a now-deleted post, McGregor confirmed being the highest-paid debutant and sharing his excitement, he wrote, “I’m officially the highest-paid first-time actor of all time, beating Dwayne Johnson. Incredible!". He reportedly
