about the actress’ past with is stirring up controversy on social media. While the film continues to earn great critical reviews for its action, stunt work, comedy, and overall narrative, one of its attempted gags referring to Heard and Depp has not been received well by some audience members.
Without spoiling the entire scene, the joke sees Hannah Waddingham’s character, Gail Meyer, walk into the trailer of Emily Blunt’s character, Jody Moreno, following a fight sequence.
With things looking disheveled and messy, Gail asks Jody what happened and says, “It’s like Amber and Johnny were just in here.” The Fall Guy has multiple references to Hollywood personas and industry events.
However, dialogue taking a jab at Johnny Depp and Amber Heard’s turbulent relationship has proven to be controversial after the film’s Los Angeles premiere.
Viewers have taken to social media to express their disdain over The Fall Guy’s Amber Heard joke calling it “distasteful” and “cheap,” among other things.
