Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.The Internet Movie Data Base (IMDB.com) released its top searched films stars for the year on December 22, based on its STARMeter ranking - searches by more than 100 million monthly unique users of the film website.
The site notes that the list is not based on "critical assessment or box office performance." Popularity may be a factor and film success would appear to have some influence on searches - but not in every case. Last year's position is noted in parenthesis with Kristen Stewart and Christian Bale remaining unchanged.
Here are the top 15:
1. Johnny Depp (#3)
2. Kristen Stewart (#2)
3. Robert Pattinson (#1)
4. Leonardo DiCaprio (#14)
5. Brad Pitt (#6)
6. Robert Downey Jr. (#31)
7. Christian Bale (#7)
8. Gerald Butler (#13)
9. Megan Fox (#4)
10. Zoe Saldana (uncharted)
11. Angelina Jolie (#12)
12. Tom Cruise (#18)
13. Ryan Reynolds (#10)
14. Taylor Lautner (#5)
15. Zooey Deschanel (#9)
