According to a Forbes list, Robert Downey Jr has been named the highest paid Hollywood actor for the second year running, after earning $75 million in the past year.

His position was largely influenced by his lead role in Iron Man 3, which grossed almost $1.2 billion at the global box office.

Hangover star, Bradley Cooper came third place on the Forbes list, after earning $46 million last year from hit movies, ‘The Hangover’ franchise and ‘American Hustle’.
