Johnny Depp 2009: Movie Star is Highest Paid in Hollywood

Posted by , on November 17, 2009 at 11:05 pm

Jack Sparrow can bet all the gold deblooms in the Caribbean that he doesn’t need to worry about money anymore. Arrrrrrr. (That was a pirate noise.) In lieu of the start of filming Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides, the fourth in the series, it was leaked just how much Johnny Depp will be paid. The amount? $35 million, making Depp the highest paid actor in Hollywood.

Although that is an incredible amount of money for one film (or for anything really, save your soul), Tom Cruise demands $18 million per film. Granted, we prefer Edward Scissorhands over the Scientologist anyday. Perhaps the pay increase is due to the fact that former costars Keira Knightley and Orlando Bloom will not be returning for the next installment; all in all, Depp will collect close to $84 million for all four Pirate films.

Umm…..tweet us?

    Way too much money for the boring and highly overrated acting. They should have paid Orlando Bloom and Knightley instead. Unlike Depp they worked hard for it. To be honest, I could care less about Depp and his money. My comment is coming from the growing frustration towards the overly aggressive promotion of Dpp for the 4th Pirates movie while the diminishing and often the ignoring of the input of the co-stars into the success of the franchise is taking place. I’m not fan of Pirates because of Depp. I’m fan of Pirates because of Bloom and because I like swashbuckling adventure movies. I’m not going to see the 4th POTc without my fav character Will Turner.
