Johnny Depp has been named Hollywood's most overpaid actor in 2015. The 52 year old replaces Adam Sandler at the top of Forbes magazine's annual list after a string of flop movies, including Transcendence and Mortdecai, with both films returning a measly $1.20 (£0.81) for every $1 (£0.68) he was paid to make them. Denzel Washington is a surprise second on the new Forbes list, and while he hasn't had any particularly big flops, he still only returned $6.50 (£4.39) for every $1 (£0.68) he earned, despite The Equalizer reeling in $192.3 million (£129 million) on a $55 million (£37.1 million) budget. Will Ferrell, Liam Neeson and Will Smith round out the Forbes top five.
