How could Forbes call him the "most overpaid actor in the business"? He has sustained so many injuries during his films not to mention his acting is absolutely first rate. Who made this decision at Forbes?

i didn't say he won back to back best actors, i said he was the top billed star in back to back best picture winners. Clark Gable and Walter Pidgeon had back to back as leads, but weren't top billed in at the latter winner, only Crowe has achieved this.

[Olivia Sowers]

no he didnt win for a beautiful mind he was only nominated

[Kyle Oxenham]

Here's another one: His father in law Don Spencer (His wife's father) is a legendary Australian singer for children.

Overpaid?!! Who is the idiot who made that crap up? Being the best actor of his generation sure deserves some damn money. He deserves MORE!

[iloveoldschoolanime]

Most overpaid? Bull$hit! He's worth every penny. He's the best actor of his generation.

I can think of a lot more overpaid actors than RC. At least he's talented, more so than some of his peers.
