Nicole Kidman tops overpaid celeb list
By Behind The Scenes TV on Sep 12, 2008 in Actors, Hollywood
Nicole Kidman was named the most overpaid celebrity in Hollywood in the second annual list of least bankable stars by U.S. magazine Forbes, taking the top slot from fellow Australian Russell Crowe.
Kidman’s films were estimated to only earn $1 (57 pence) for every dollar the Oscar-winning actress was paid compared with $8 a year ago.
“The Invasion,” a remake of the 1956 classic “Invasion of the Body Snatchers,” even lost $2.68 for every dollar earned by Kidman who was reportedly paid $17 million for her role.
“Despite winning an Oscar for her performance in 2002’s “The Hours,” Kidman has become the most overpaid celebrity in Hollywood,” said Forbes, adding that her upcoming movie “Australia” could give her a boost.
