JOHNNY DEPP is #1 on a new list of “The 20 Most Overrated Actors of Our Time,” which isn’t surprising since he’s been in a HUGE slump at the box office . . . including his last movie, “Mortdecai”, which has been described as one of his “worst flops ever.”

The rest of the list includes actors who are either still coasting on reputations that are no longer deserved, or who never deserved those reputations in the first place.

Also, no one made the list because of ONE misstep. They had to be “repeat offenders” in failing to deliver the goods. And of course the “failures” are subjective, and are not directly linked to box office numbers or critics’ opinions. Here’s the list:

1. Johnny Depp

2. Liam Neeson

3. Angelina Jolie

4. Robert Downey Jr.

5. Meryl Streep

6. Ben Stiller

7. Melissa McCarthy

8. “Twilight” stars Kristen Stewart
and Robert Pattinson

9. Cameron Diaz

10. Jason Bateman

11. Nicole Kidman

12. Will Smith

13. Seth Rogen

14. Sam Worthington

15. “Harry Potter” stars Emma Watson
and Daniel Radcliffe

16. Mark Wahlberg

17. James Franco

18. Liam Hemsworth

19. Rosamund Pike

20. Eric Bana

They also provided this list of “The Five Most Underrated Actors Right Now”:

1. Emily Blunt
2. Jake Gyllenhaal
3. Emma Stone
4. Miles Teller
5. Hugo Weaving

(The list comes from Australia’s “Herald Sun” newspaper. They have write-ups on all 20, explaining why they’re overrated, along with the chances that they’re able to turn it around.)
