Ouch!
Forbes has compiled a list of
Hollywood's Most Overpaid Actors. The top ten list is dominated by men from the industry with only one female actor making the cut.
Forbes took figures from the actor's last three movies before June 2016 in terms of production costs, ticket sales and the actor's income.
The results were based on the returns each actor made for their movies, finding out who was overpaid the most.
Johnny Depp came in at the top spot because his last three movies returned $2.80 at the box office for every $1 he was paid. Next on the list was Will Smith who made a better return with $5 for every $1 he made on his recent movies.
Next on the list are Channing Tatum, Will Ferrell and George Clooney. Poor old Channing was on to a winner with
Magic Mike XXL but because one of his other movies,
Jupiter Ascending, flopped it dragged down his returns scale with just $6 at the box office for every $1 paid.
The same thing happened for George Clooney who had some movies which did exceptionally well, like
Hail! Caesar and
Money Monster, but because of
Tomorrowland it brought down his return to $6.70 for every $1 paid.
Julia Roberts is the only woman to make the list this year.
Here is the full list:
1. Johnny Depp - $2.8
2. Will Smith - $5.0
3. Channing Tatum - $6.0
4. Will Ferrell - $6.5
5. George Clooney - $6.7
6. Adam Sandler - $7.6
7. Mark Wahlberg - $9.2
8. Leonardo DiCaprio - $9.9
9. Julia Roberts - $10.8
10. Bradley Cooper - $12.1
