Los Angeles:
Superstar Johnny Depp has topped the
Forbes' Most Overpaid Actors list, courtesy the box office failure of his films like
Mortdecai,
Transcendence and
The Lone Ranger.
According to the magazine, Mr Depp, 52, only returned $ 1.20 for every $ 1 he was paid.
The
Black Mass star replaced last year's most overpaid movie actor Adam Sandler to top the list.
Actor Denzel Washington is on the second position, who returned just $ 6.50 for each $ 1 he was paid.
However, Mr Washington's ranking is possibly due to an "inflated paycheque" as none of his last three films appear to have lost money.
The top five also include Will Ferrell, Liam Neeson and Will Smith.Will's most recent films returned only around $ 6.8 for every dollar the actor was paid.
For Liam and Mr Smith the amount was $ 6.50 per $ 8.6 respectively.
