Will Smith has gained a lot of controversy in the last few years. Even outside of his union with Jada Pinkett Smith, his supporters have found it exceedingly challenging to stand up for him in light of his recent behavior.

 His notorious incident with Chris Rock at the 2022 Oscars, in which he walked on stage and smacked the comedian because he did not appreciate a joke that was delivered, is the ideal illustration of this.

Evidence contradicts the assumption that his popularity and success have decreased since these episodes. As the most followed actor on TikTok for the past two years, the actor has maintained an extremely amazing record.

That was before Dwayne Johnson defeated him and amassed a larger fan base.

On TikTok, Will Smith Has a Notable Record

Being one of the most well-known names in Hollywood and having had a very successful career, Will Smith is a very well-known celebrity. Despite all of his scandals, he is a highly powerful person and has an Oscar to his name. Considering all of this, it is not shocking that the actor has a sizable online fan base.

Many would be shocked to learn, though, that he has been the most followed actor on TikTok for the past two years. With 73.8 million followers, he has amassed a following by sharing behind-the-scenes videos and interesting content, such as his acting approach. Remarkably, he’s held the record since 2022—the year he gave Chris Rock a spanking at the Oscars—and his fan base has been continuously increasing over time.

This is no easy task. Sadly, Smith was just surpassed in popularity by another prominent actor for this position.

The Dwayne Johnson shattering Will Smith’s record.After surpassing Will Smith in followers, Dwayne Johnson is now the actor with the most TikTok followers. On his account, The Rock currently has 74.5 million followers. This is hardly surprising, given that he is among the most successful individuals in Hollywood, having achieved success not only in acting but also in singing and wrestling.

The actor has reappeared in the public eye following a lengthy hiatus from the WWE arena. On top of the highlights of his fight, he frequently posts videos of his workout routine, something that has had fans curious for decades.

Despite losing the title he held for two years, Smith is still in the lead and may overtake Johnson in the near future.
