The magazine estimates that for every $1 dollar the actor was paid, he returned an average of $3.20 dollars which is the lowest return on investment of any actors they've examined.

"Pirates of the Caribbean" star Johnny Depp came in second, returning an average of $4.10 for each dollar paid, with recent misses like "The Lone Ranger" and "Dark Shadows."
