According to a new report, Johnny Depp is the actor whose films have brought the least return.
The study, conducted by Forbes magazine, found that Depp - who is estimated to have annual earnings of around $30M (£20M) - returned just $1.20 for every $1 he was paid. The star, 52, took the unwanted crown after a string of box office failures that included 'Mortdecai', 'Transcendence' and 'The Lone Ranger'.
Of these, 'The Lone Ranger' was found to be the biggest flop, with Disney estimated to have lost upwards of $150 million on the western.
Elsewhere on the list, Denzel Washington occupies second position, having returned just $6.50 for each $1 he was paid, while comedian Will Ferrell is in third.
The top five is rounded off by 'Taken' star Liam Neeson, with $7.80 for every $1, and Will Smith, with $8.60 for every $1 he was paid.
The list itself is based on the last three films each actor starred in before June 2015.
