Highest-grossing actors and actresses ever revealed and the list is quite surprising

Harrison Ford and Scarlett Johansson come out on top

A list of the highest-grossing movie stars has been revealed, with Harrison Ford named as the highest-grossing actor and Scarlett Johansson the highest-grossing actress.

The list has been compiled by Box Office Mojo and looks at amount of money that each star brings in to the films they star in.

Ford’s place at the top of the summit was helped by last year’s Star Wars: The Force Awakens, his biggest-grossing movie to date.
