Amber Heard surpasses Johnny Depp in the most searched celebrities of 2022

With just a few weeks left of the end of the year, 2022 has been full of celebrities who have been talked about, amidst controversies and scandals, up to unexpected returns. But of all celebrities, it was Amber Heard the one that has generated the greatest interest among Internet userseven more so than Johnny Depp, who was involved in the libel trial.

In a report by Celeb Tattler, Amber Heard was the most searched celebrity of 2022, with an average of 5.6 million times a month, at least in the United States, in one of the most popular and used search engines in the world. In large part, due to the defamation lawsuit against Johnny Depp, with whom he lost his case and now owes more than $10 million dollars.

With the interest generated, Amber Heard overtook Johnny Depp as the year’s most searched celebrity. For his part, the ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ actor got an average of 5.5 million monthly searches. The report considered 150 other film stars, artists and celebrities from the entertainment world. The exact reasons for each search are unknown, but since both are headlining the scandal of the year, it’s likely because of this.

Other notable figures on the list were Queen Elizabeth II, who came in third place, and who’s death at the age of 96 influenced the story of Season 5 of Netflix’s ‘The Crown’. Further down also Tom Brady, with 4.06 million searches. With a year in which other stars have also been embroiled in several scandals, such as Ezra Miller and the slap of Will Smith, it could be favorable in numbers for Heard.

The current situation of Amber Heard and Johnny Depp

The situation after the Virginia court ruling was only favorable for one of the two parties, as Johnny Depp began to recover part of the jobs he had lost. At the moment it has only been confirmed that his next film will be ‘Jeanne du Barry’, while the most recent rumors say that he has been summoned by Disney for the new film ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’.

The information has not been confirmed, but presumably Disney would have started thinking about the next film in the saga, after the cancellation of the delivery of Margot Robbie. All that remains is to wait for the confirmation of the production, of which The Sun, the same medium that defined Depp as a “let’s beat him”, was the first to report it.

On the other hand, Amber Heard recently filed a new lawsuit against her insurer in the trial of Johnny Depp, who doesn’t want to pay her a million dollars, because they claim Heard’s actions were “deliberate.” The actress is still waiting to find out about her continuity in ‘Aquaman 2’, while she was last seen in Spain.
