  • It's official: Johnny Depp is the most overpaid actor in Hollywood – and anyone who has had the misfortune to sit through his most recent flop1 Mortdecai will wholeheartedly concur2 with the verdict.

    正式的排名出来了:约翰尼·德普是今年好莱坞性价比最低的演员——任何看过德普新片《贵族大盗》的人肯定都会完全同意这个看法。

    A new Forbes list shows that in 2015, the average return on each dollar Depp was paid to star in a film was just $1.20.

    福布斯发布的最新榜单显示,2015年,在德普主演的电影中,投资人在德普身上每投资一美元,收到的回报仅为1.2美元。

    The time period for the calculation was between July 2014 and June 2015: incorporating the aforementioned Mortdecai – described as by the Telegraph’s Robbie Collin as the mort de cinema – but unfortunately excluding Depp’s more successful recent film Black Mass, which has been hailed by some critics as a return to form for the actor.

    该榜单的统计区间为2014年7月至2015年6月,这期间正好包括了前述的《贵族大盗》上映——每日电讯报评论员罗比·科林将该片称作“影院之殇”。可惜的是,德普另一部不错的电影《黑色弥撒》未在榜单评选时间内,不少评论员认为该片是德普的重塑形象之作。

    Prior3 to the release of Mortdecai, several of Depp's previous films, including Transcendence (2014) and The Lone4 Ranger5 (2013), also bombed at the box office.

    在《贵族大盗》之前,德普的《超验骇客》(2014)和《独行侠》(2013)等片也都是票房毒药。

    But, while the quality (and the overall takings) of his films might have slumped6, the size of Depp's pay cheques hasn't followed quite the same trajectory7: for whatever reasons, Hollywood bosses still see the 52-year-old actor as an asset worth paying for.

    不过,尽管德普主演的影片质量和票房都不怎么样,但却没影响到他的片酬:不知为什么,好莱坞大佬们仍然很器重这位52岁的男星,舍得为他花钱。

    In second place on the list is Denzel Washington, with returns of $6.50 per dollar of pay, while Will Ferrell falls into third place.

    位于榜单第二位的是丹泽尔·华盛顿,每一美元片酬仅为投资人带来6.5美元回报。威尔·法瑞尔位列第三。

    There are no women on the list all; this year, all 10 of the most overpaid Hollywood actors of 2015 are male.

    上榜的没有女性,今年所有10位好莱坞性价比最低的明星都为男性。
