TORONTO — Canada’s Seth Rogen has made it onto the annual Forbes list of the world’s highest paid actors.

The 33-year-old B.C. native debuted at No. 26 in the 2015 rankings, which were published Tuesday.

Forbes estimated Rogen earned $17 million last year, including $6.5 million for his role in the 2014 made-in-Vancouver comedy The Interview.

The list was compiled using estimated gross earnings for the 12 months prior to June 1, 2015.

According to Forbes, Robert Downey Jr. is the world’s highest paid actor with an estimated $80 million haul. He is followed by Jackie Chan, Vin Diesel, Bradley Cooper and Adam Sandler.

There are three actors named Chris on the list: Chris Hemsworth ($27 million), Chris Evans ($13.5 million) and Chris Pratt ($13 million).

Matt Damon is estimated to have made $25 million, beating his buddy Ben Affleck’s $19.5 million.
