If anyone wants to start an Occupy Hollywood protest, I have the first real, legitimate actress you guys can picket after you’re done picketing all the other talentless whores wandering around down there (you know who I’m talking about, right?) In a new article on Forbes magazine, Drew Barrymore was revealed to be the most overpaid actress, with her movie only bringing in 40 cents for every dollar she was paid.
- Drew Barrymore – 40 cents
- Eddie Murphy – $2.70
- Will Ferrell – $3.50
- Reese Witherspoon – $3.55
- Denzel Washington – $4.25
- Nicolas Cage – $4.40
- Adam Sandler – $5.20
- Vince Vaughn – $5.20
- Tom Cruise – $6.35
- Nicole Kidman – $6.70
Drew Barrymore doesn’t really surprise me, because she does have her own production company which admittedly hasn’t really churned out a blockbuster since Charlie’s Angels, but Adam Sandler was a bit of a shock. But then I remembered that Sandler gets paid shitloads to put his misanthropy on film and no matter how much they make, most of the time he’s still the biggest cost for the budget for some reason, even though he hasn’t made a good movie since the 90′s.
