Aquaman and Justice League actress Amber Heard has been at the center of controversy for
a several years now after her personal issues with ex-husband Johnny Depp were made public.
Now, the actress faces so much backlash and hate for being the reason why Johnny Depp's
career is ruined. However, it seems like her career is still doing well with Amber confirmed
to return as Mera in Aquaman 2. But what about her co-star Jason Momoa? Reportedly, he's
been pranking her over and over again. Do all these pranks mean Jason wants to show
Amber she's not welcome? We are going to break it down for you in a
few minutes, but before we start, make sure you stay till the end to know how does it
feel to work with Amber Heard and what is Jason Momoa’s reaction on the entire Depp/Heard
drama.
The things between Amber Heard and Johnny Depp keeps on getting worse. Multiple legal
battles, testimonies, lies, accusations – the things are not amicable at all. Since 2016
the media and tabloids are not tired to make headlines of these two, digging in their dirty
laundry. But what is the truth – Johnny Depp's career seems to be sinking. He was
fired from his gig as Grindelwald in the Fantastic Beasts franchise as well as from Disney’s
Pirates of the Caribbean. But what about Amber Heard’s career?
Not so long-ago fans went super furious about the things that are going on with Johnny and
they created an online petition calling on Warner Bros. to remove Amber Heard from the
upcoming comic book tentpole “Aquaman 2”. The petition to remove Heard from “Aquaman
2″ alleges the actress is a “known and proven domestic abuser,” and thus the studio
should request her exit if they did the same for Depp and “Fantastic Beasts.” Although,
the petition has garnered over 2 million signatures, it seems like nothing has changed. However,
the rumors started circulating that Amber Heard would be fired and replaced by Emilia
Clarke. But no matter how hard the fans try, Amber
put every single rumor about her to bed in an interview with Entertainment Weekly: “I’m
super excited about the amount of fan love and the amount of fan appreciation that Aquaman
has acquired and that it has garnered so much excitement for Aquaman and Mera that it means
we’ll be coming back,” Heard said. “I’m so excited to film that.”
The actress added, “Paid rumors and paid campaigns on social media don’t dictate
(casting decisions) because they have no basis in reality. Only the fans actually made ‘Aquaman’
and ‘Aquaman 2’ happen. I’m excited to get started next year.”
So, as you may understand, Amber Heard is likely to stay. And we kinda knew that from
the start. No matter how the things go, it is still interesting to know how the relationship
is between Amber Heard and her co-workers since the issue blew up (especially with the
Aquaman himself – Jason Momoa). Reportedly (and surprisingly enough), Jason Momoa is
not bothered by the allegations thrown at the Mera actress. In fact, the two actors
get along pretty nicely despite all the drama surrounding Amber Heard's personal life. Due
to the latest events and interviews, the actor has no problem working with Amber and he's
able to differentiate his co-star's professional career from her private life. Analyzing the
entire situation and the friendship between these two, it can be said that Jason Momoa
wants to keep Amber Heard in the franchise and will be ready to back her up should Warner
Bros. intervene. How do we know that? Stay till the end to figure out what we’ve got
on Amber and Jason’s relationship. But before we reveal the status of their relationship,
it is also important to say that Director James Wan is also said to be fighting in Amber
Heard’s corner. The filmmaker is apparently doing all he can to protect her role in Aquaman
2 against the studio attempting to massively reduce Mera’s screen time. Word has it that
the sequel could introduce several new female characters, with the intention being to take
the spotlight away from Heard’s heroine. The actress herself is not pleased about this,
obviously, and is said to be battling to land a bigger role. A few months ago, it was believed
that Heard had been let go from the movie due to poor health, but her reps categorically
denied these claims. Nevertheless, stories about Mera’s part being downgraded have
persisted. But with such allies by her side, it is unlikely for Amber to lose much of screen
time. Coming back to Jason Momoa, and yes, first
things first, and ‘Aquaman’ co-stars Jason Momoa and Amber Heard have always gotten along
well. They've been working together for a long time now and it seems like there's no
beef between these two. Even despite the fact that Jason is a huge pranker and he pranks
Amber all the time. Apparently, on the set of Aquaman, Jason Momoa decided to prank Heard
by ripping out the last 10 pages or so. So many people would become furious after such
a cruel prank. But not Amber Heard. In a recent Good Morning America interview,
Amber Heard opened up about her habit of reading books between takes, saying she loves reading
and she carries the books all the time and when she’s got a free minute – she would
rather be reading than doing something else. And Jason knows that for sure, and when he’s
bored, he’s ripping a few pages from her books just for fun. Jason even confessed:
“She stepped away, and I ripped out the last 10 pages of her 800-page book, like the
last chapter.” The actress knows that Jason hates being ignored
and he likes attention all the time, so she created the 'book bag' (that was made from
the same green screen material as the backdrop setting, so that it wouldn't interfere with
her costume during shots) and she could hide her books from Jason. Here is what Amber Heard
said about the ‘book bag’: “I would feel so bad someone was going out of their
way to throw books and I was going crazy. So, wardrobe built me a book bag, I could
sling it over me and then I would just bring it around and pull out my book.”
The actress went on, saying: "I love Jason. We had so much fun together. But he is allergic
to being ignored, and I am a bookworm who loves to read. He adopted this method of ripping
out the pages of my book so I would pay attention to him," she revealed. "It would drive me
crazy because I'd have 30 pages left and it would be gone."
It seems like these two have so much fun during filming but behind the scenes they are friends
too. Need evidence? You will get it right now. If you have an Internet, you've probably
heard that recently Amber Heard became a mother. Last week, the actress had announced on Instagram
that she had welcomed her first child, daughter Oonagh via surrogacy.
She wrote, “I’m so excited to share this news with you. Four years ago, I decided I
wanted to have a child. I wanted to do it on my own terms. I now appreciate how radical
it is for us as women to think about one of the most fundamental parts of our destinies
in this way. I hope we arrive at a point in which it’s normalized to not want a ring
in order to have a crib. A part of me wants to uphold that my private life is none of
anyone’s business. I also get that the nature of my job compels me to take control of this.
My daughter was born on April 8, 2021. Her name is Oonagh Paige Heard. She’s the beginning
of the rest of my life.” Amber Heard’s Instagram was instantly filled
with congratulatory messages, including one from Jason Momoa, who congratulated her. He
wrote: "Congratulations" adding a red heart. Some of the other celebs who commented on
Heard’s post included her ‘Magic Mike XXL’ co-star Andie MacDowell, who wrote,
“Congratulations. It’s absolutely the best part of life.”
Here is what people had to say about the entire situation:
“Do you know what I think? I think Jason Momoa must have done the ‘book ripping’
prank because he hates her, because that’s absolutely not a funny prank”
Another fan said: “I’m glad that some people can be loyal friends, like Jason. I
wish I had such a friend” “Amber Heard did really bad things to Johnny
Depp. And I’m not going to watch the ‘Aquaman 2’.”
