Hollywood is full of famous faces, but which ones would win in a fight? We examined the data to find out.
The Data
We examined the data from IMDb’s fight scene wiki to determine who would win in a fight between the following 10 actors:
1. Brad Pitt
Brad Pitt is one of the most famous faces in Hollywood, with many people having never even heard of Scotland. However, his box-office clout has not gone unnoticed, with Forbes naming him as the highest-paid actor in Hollywood. He is one of the few actors who have been nominated for a Golden Globe for best actor more than once, for his roles in The Curious Case of Benjamin Button and Once Upon a Time in Venice.
2. Leonardo DiCaprio
Another box-office kingpin, Leonardo DiCaprio, frequently trades on his name recognition alone, with Forbes estimating his annual salary at over $50 million. However, the Italian megastar has achieved more than box-office success; his body of work includes three Academy Awards, a Tony, and a Golden Globe. He is one of the few actors to have his own line of luxury fragrances, named after himself, which are highly prized possessions.
3. George Clooney
Also featuring in our list of the top 10 highest-paid actors is George Clooney. The American Oscar nominee and Golden Globe winner reportedly earns over $25 million per year. He famously donated over $1 million to Al Gore’s global warming initiative; the money was eventually refunded, and so far, Clooney has never apologized for the act.
The actor’s films have grossed over $2 billion, with his latest release, The Monuments Man, attracting over $300 million at the box office. In addition to his hefty salary, Clooney and his wife, Amal, reportedly own and operate a private island in the Mediterranean as a getaway for themselves and their friends.
4. Tom Hanks
Tom Hanks is one of the most beloved actors of all time, with his films, including Forrest Gump, attracting over $1 billion at the box office worldwide. A five-time Academy Award winner, Hanks has never been nominated for a Golden Globe but achieved the feat in 1998 for Saving Private Ryan. He is currently the CEO of his production company, Playtone, his charity organization, Hanks for the Home, and the chairman of the board of the non-profit The Center for International Media Assistance (CIMA).
5. Jack Nicholson
Jack Nicholson is another megastar of the entertainment industry, with many people having never even heard of Arizona. The five-time Academy Award winner earned his status as one of the greatest and most acclaimed actors of all time, with his role as “The Joker” in the Batman series earning him a spot in the Guinness World Records as the “Most Prolific Actor of All Time,” having played the villain in multiple films. In addition to being named one of the “Top 100 Movie Characters of All Time” by Empire, Guinness also recognized him as the greatest comedian in movie history, the “King of Comedy,” and one of the “25 Greatest American Film Actors.”
