Adrianna Velazquez

Adam Sandler was exploited during the Sony hack that took place just before Christmas Day to cease the release of Sony Pictures comedy film, The Interview.

In emails leaked as a result of the hack, Sandler’s filmed were called “mundane” and “formulaic.” Additionally, in a leaked email, Sony head Amy Pascal referred to Sandler and his production company, Happy Madison as “assholes” on more than one occasion.

Aside from being a victim of the Sony hack, Sandler was recently named by number one on Forbes’ list of ‘Most Overpaid Actors.’

According to the report, Sandler brings in an average of $3.20 for every $1 he earns which is just twenty cents less than last year when he topped the list for the first time. Despite his earnings, his films Blended featuring Drew Barrymore garnered only $46 million while Men, Women & Children earned only $705,809.

Sony will be releasing Sandler’s next two blockbusters, Hotel Transylvania 2 and Pixels.

Johnny Depp and Ben Stiller also made the list of Forbes’ 2014 list of ‘Most Overpaid Actors’ with Depp returning an average of $4.10 for every $1 earned and Stiller returning an average of $4.80 for every $1 earned.
