Well, this is going to make your meagre bank account squeal out in pain.
Forbes has rounded up Hollywood’s most overpaid actors and there is more goddamn money is this article than we even thought was possible.
You see, big name actors tend to get paid very well even when their movies are big old flops.
To work out who was raking in the most moolah (when they really shouldn’t be), Forbes devised a complicated equation that made us look a lil’ like this:
But it basically involved adding up the profits from the last three films an actor starred in prior to 1 June 2017 (leaving out animated films) and then comparing that to what they got paid.
Here are the most overpaid blokes in Hollywood:
Brad Pitt
One Tree Hill's Bethany Joy Lenz Lived In A Cult For 10 Years

This isn't a great measurement of an actor's worth, though, is it. Actors like Denzel and Christian might not star in big blockbusters or franchises very often, but they are both talented actors. Fences might not have made a huge amount of money, but it was nominated for four Oscars, and was highly praised. Curious to know why animated films aren't included.
