NEW YORK – Leonardo DiCaprio and Johnny Depp, the actor who alternately produce blockbuster films and unique and independent films, Hollywood actor topped the list of the largest income, Forbes.com said on Monday. “His career in Hollywood was built based on smart choices (and not always clear),” Forbes said in its annual data related to the world’s largest-income actor the big screen.
He added that DiCaprio and Depp, who earn 77 million dollars and 50 million U.S. dollars each, is proof of that theory. Comedian Adam Sandler, who won 40 million dollars, was in third place while Will Smith and Tom Hanks are very close behind him with an income of 36 million U.S. dollars and 35 million U.S. dollars.
Forbes describes Sandler as an alumni of “Saturday Night Live”, as one of the surest thing in Hollywood, and added even if his movies are not loved by film critics, they remain popular and sold out in the broad public. Although Smith is more focused on his family lately, he still managed to become one among the top five actors with the greatest income.
Meanwhile, even though Tom Hanks film “Larry Crowne” somewhat failed, but it also provided the voice of actor Woody in the movie “Toy Story”. Toy Story is the third series of best-selling animated films all the time.
DiCaprio, who jumped from fifth place to first place, has two box office last year, which is “Shutter Island” and “Inception,” who between them earn more than $ 1 billion. In the next film he will play FBI head J. Edgar Hoover and the lead role in a film titled “The Great Gatsby.”
