Do you ever watch a movie and wonder how much the actor or actress is getting paid… and if they’re getting OVER-paid?
Well, now you don’t need to wonder — now you’ll know who this year’s overpaid actors are, according to Forbes, which may or may not come as a surprise…
The “Beverly Hills Cop” star is now the number one most overpaid actor in Hollywood!
That’s right — Eddie Murphy has been named the 2012 most overpaid winner (or I guess, loser in this case).
Remember when his top movies like “Trading Places” or “Beverly Hills Cop” would make everyone laugh? Those movies collectively hauled in $316.3 million.
Even his voice characters in “Shrek” and “Mulan” made people chuckle as well as the family-friendly movies like “Dr. Dolittle” and “Norbit”.
But this hilarious actor’s latest movies have been a flop! “Imagine That”, “Meet Dave”, and “A Thousand Words” have collectively hauled in $196.3 million.
For every dollar Murphy was paid for these last three films, there was a returned average of $2.30 at the box office, giving him the Most Overpaid Actor title.
Following Murphy is Katherine Heigl, whose “One For The Money” movie brought her down. Surprisingly, Reese Witherspoon comes in third place. The popular Hollywood actress’ choices have been questionable lately.
