Russell Crowe and Nicole Kidman have been named Hollywood’s most “overpaid” actors. Business magazine Forbes compared big name stars’ salaries to the amount of money their films actually gross at the box office. Oscar-winner Crowe’s recent films (Cinderella Man and A Good Year) have flopped. Same thing for fellow Australian Nicole Kidman who came second in the list after earning a reported $15 million for her most recent blockbuster The Golden Compass . The movie made only $26 million in its debut weekend in the US, compared to the $200 million it reportedly cost to make. Comedians Jim Carrey and Will Ferrell came in third and fourth positions. Mother-to-be Jennifer Lopez, known for her bad films, rounded off the top five. Adam Sandler, Cameron Diaz, Denzel Washington, Will Smith and Tom Cruise also featured in the round-up. The magazine said: “Once you’re in Hollywood’s A-list earnings club, it’s hard to get kicked out, no matter how badly your films perform at the box office.”
