Kidman tops Forbes' 'Hollywood's
Most Overpaid Actor' list
Melbourne: Nicole Kidman is Hollywood's
most overpaid actor, according to a new survey by
Forbes magazine. Kidman's films were estimated to
only earn 1 dollar for every dollar the Oscar-winning
actress was paid compared with 8 dollars a year ago.
'The Invasion', a remake of the 1956 classic 'Invasion
of the Body Snatchers', even lost 2.68 dollar for
every dollar earned by Kidman who was reportedly paid
17 million dollars for her role. "Despite winning
an Oscar for her performance in 2002's The Hours,
Kidman has become the most overpaid celebrity in Hollywood,"
News.com.au quoted Forbes, as stating. Second in the
list came Jennifer Garner, whose movies including
'The Kingdom"' and 'Catch and Release' have underperformed
at the box office. Her movies were calculated to earn
3.60 dollar for every 1 dollar she was paid. Kidman's
ex-husband, Tom Cruise, came third in the list with
a 4 dollar return for every dollar he was paid, mostly
because of the failure of last year's movie 'Lions
for Lambs'. For every dollar the star earned the film
returned only 1.88 dollar. Fourth was Hollywood's
highest paid actress, Cameron Diaz, who apparently
didn't match her hefty pay cheques while another diva,
Jennifer Lopez, came in fifth. Forbes' list of Hollywood's
Most Overpaid Actors: 1. Nicole Kidman 2. Jennifer
Garner 3. Tom Cruise 4. Cameron Diaz 5. Jennifer Lopez
6. Jim Carrey 7. Nicolas Cage 8. Drew Barrymore 9.
Will Ferrell 10. Cate Blanchett
