... Will Ferrell, according to a new list published at business analysis site forbes.com. The Old School and Talladega Nights star commands a high salary for his work, even though he is almost always typecast in the "man-child" role... no, make that always! Ferrell beat several other big names for the dubious honour, including Tom Cruise, Eddie Murphy and Leonardo DiCaprio.
Just overpaid... or overrated too?
For every dollar Ferrell is paid, his films earn an average of US$3.29. Doesn't seem terrible at first, until you compare him to the likes of Shia LaBeouf, who currently makes movie bosses an average of US$160 for every dollar he's paid.
A surprising addition to the list was Scottish star Ewan McGregor, as the second most overpaid actor in Hollywood.

This has made him a bad investment for producers, despite the fact that he doesn't command nearly as high a salary as some of the other actors on the list.
He might be overpaid, but this one has talent...

This 23-year-old New Yorker is multi-talented: she's making her mark on the music scene, has a burgeoning film career, is a spokeswoman for the prevention of domestic violence, and has been applauded for her bold fashion choices. She's also pretty brave when it comes to her hair, as these photos show. Long, dark, blonde, shoulder-length, with fringe and without, Leighton's done it all... but as to whether she goes for the major chop like Blair did in the book series is anyone's guess!

The latest franchise to fall victim to the dreaded three is Ghostbusters, which is set to begin production on its third installment in a matter of months.
