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.

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
