John Christopher "Johnny" Depp II (born June 9, 1963) is an American actor, producer, and musician. He has won the Golden Globe Award and Screen Actors Guild Award for Best Actor. He rose to prominence on the 1980s television series 21 Jump Street, becoming a teen idol.
Since then, Depp has taken on challenging and "larger-than-life" roles, starting with a supporting role in Oliver Stone's Vietnam War film Platoon in 1986, then playing the title character in the romantic dark fantasy Edward Scissorhands (1990). He later found box office success in the fantasy adventure film Sleepy Hollow (1999), the fantasy swashbuckler film Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl (2003) and its sequels, the musical adventure film Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (2005), the fantasy film Alice in Wonderland (2010) and voicing the title character in the animated action comedy western Rango (2011). He has collaborated on eight films with director and friend Tim Burton.
Johnny Depp hasn’t had a good year at the box office. As Lord Charlie in Mortdecai and Dr. Will Caster in Transcendence, he failed to win over the hearts of viewers, with both becoming major Hollywood flops.
However, that didn’t stop the 52-year-old taking huge paycheques, the result of which has led to Depp being crowned the most overpaid actor this year by Forbes.
According to their research, Depp returned only $1.20 for every $1 paid to him by the film studios. Ranking in a close second was Denzel Washington, making back just $6.50 for every $1.
Will Ferrell followed in third, having topped the list in both 2009 and 2010. He only brought in $6.80 for every $1 spent on him for his three films, including Anchorman 2, The Campaign and Get Hard.
It has been noted by many that the top ten most overpaid actors are all men, while the top ten best value actors are half male and half female.
Forbes also mention that Adam Sandler, who was named most overpaid actor for the past two years, failed to make the list as Pixels was released after the June cut-off period while his Netflix films do not match the right criteria to be included.
Hollywood's most overpaid actors:
1. Johnny Depp: $1.20 per $1
2. Denzel Washington: $6.50 per $1
3. Will Ferrell: $6.80 per $1
4. Liam Neeson: $7.80 per $1
5. Will Smith: $8.60 per $1
6. Christian Bale: $9.20 per $1
7. Channing Tatum: $10.80 per $1
8. Brad Pitt: $12.00 per $1
9. Ben Affleck: $12.30 per $1
10. Tom Cruise: $13.60 per $1
Hollywood's best-value actors
1. Chris Evans $181.80 per $1
2. Mila Kunis $87.30 per $1
3. Scarlett Johansson $84.90 per $1
4. Gwyneth Paltrow $82.90 per $1
5. Emma Stone $54.00 per $1
6. Chris Hemsworth $42.10 per $1
7. Vin Diesel $40.30 per $1
8. Jennifer Lawrence $39.10 per $1
9. Mark Wahlberg $37.90 per $1
10. Dwayne Johnson $28.10 per $1
So, how does the list work exactly? Each of the actors three major films released up until June are accounted for, not including those with cameos or minor roles, or those in under 2000 screens.
The global box-office haul is then calculated, minus the estimated production budget. That figure is then divided by the estimated paycheque they received for the role, with the three films all being added together.
