Will Ferrell Dubbed Hollywood's 'Most Overpaid Star' Module body

Wed Nov 18, 4:35 PM


LOS ANGELES, Calif. -- Funnyman Will Ferrell has topped Forbes' annual list of most overpaid stars.


The comedian, who was once riding high with a series of hit films including "Elf" and "Talladega Nights," has recently taken a dive with box office bombs such as "Semi-Pro" and "Land of the Lost."


According to the mag, for every dollar Will made, his films brought in roughly $3.29. This starkly compares to other stars, including Shia LaBeouf who earned Forbes' "Best Actor for the Buck" in August. For every dollar Shia was paid, his films earned an average of $160. (my bold holy crap!)


Ewan McGregor trailed behind Will, landing second place on the list. His recent films have also under-performed at the box office, earning an average of $3.75 per each dollar the actor was paid.


Billy Bob Thornton came in third, followed by Eddie Murphy and Ice Cube. Former "Top Gun" Tom Cruise placed sixth on the list, while Drew Barrymore, Leonardo DiCaprio, Samuel L. Jackson and Jim Carrey rounded out the Top 10.

Strikes me as weird. surely Hollywood wouldn't pay him if he wasn't worth it?

I think the problem is they pay him based on past successes because the deals are signed before the crappy movies come out.

Blame the agents, they usually drive the fees up.
