Johnson is not the most followed man on Instagram worldwide, though. That honor still belongs to Portuguese soccer star Cristiano Ronaldo, who currently has 239 million followers.

This comes after Ariana Grande recently garnered 200 million Instagram followers, becoming the first woman to do so. The pop star currently has 203 million followers.

Following close behind Grande, the most followed women on Instagram worldwide are Kylie Jenner with 197 million followers and Selena Gomez with 194 million followers.
