Actor Dwayne Johnson now rules as the most-followed American man on Instagram. This also helps him rule The Hollywood Reporter’s Top Actors chart, part of the Social Climbers chart catalog, dated Oct. 21.
THR’s Social Climbers charts are rankings of the most popular entities on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and YouTube, with global data provided by social media analytics company MVP. The chart’s methodology blends engagement to entities’ social media accounts along with weekly additions of followers/subscribers. The latest tracking week ended Oct. 13.
Johnson’s Oct. 10 upload celebrated the distinction, which sees him at over 200 million followers on the site. Perhaps unsurprisingly, that post went on to be the biggest by an actor in the Oct. 7-13 chart tracking week, with 5.3 million Instagram favorites.
“I spoke my truth with a little poise, dignity & respect and here’s the result,” he wrote.
Johnson spends his 93rd week at No. 1 on Top Actors and ninth in a row. He’s been in the top two every week since mid-July.
Meanwhile, Kirstie Alley debuts on Top Actors at No. 10, her bow coming via 1.5 million Twitter favorites, up 122 percent, plus 317,000 retweets and 51,000 mentions on the platform.
Alley’s social gains mostly surround her political tweets supporting President Donald Trump’s reelection, calling support for Joe Biden “a vote for socialism” in her most-engaged-with tweet of the week.
