Johnny Depp Named Hollywood’ s Most Overpaid Actor In 2015 . ( Full List)

Pirates of the Caribbean crooner, Johnny Depp , has
been named the most overpaid movie star in Hollywood
by Forbes magazine after posting a string of box office
flops.
According to Forbes, Depp, who is one of the highest-
paid actors on the planet with estimated annual
earnings of $30m, returned just $1.20 for every $1.
His poor position is due to the financial failure of
movies such as Mortdecai, Transcendence and The
Lone Ranger, all of which bombed at the box office.
The Lone Ranger took the biggest hit with studio Disney
estimated to have lost upwards of $150m on the
western, while comedy Mortdecai pulled in just $47.4m
at the global box office against a production budget of
$60m alone.
Sci-fi thriller Transcendence only just recouped its
$100m production costs. All 10 actors on the “ most
overpaid” list are male.
Second on the “ most overpaid” list was Denzel
Washington , who returned just $6.50 for each $1 he
was paid – still more than five times what Depp
recouped.
