Want to know about this week’s hottest headlines in Austin entertainment? You’ve come to the right place. These are the top five pop culture related stories with ties to the ATX.
Amber Heard Has Fans Furious At Jason Momoa
While on set of the upcoming film Aquaman, Austin native Amber Heard found herself spending much of her time dangling in the air, waiting for the cameras to roll. To pass the time, she’d read. Apparently, her reading habit did not go over well with co-star Jason Momoa.
“He adopted this method of ripping out the pages of my book so I would pay attention to him,” she said on “Good Morning America”. “It would drive me crazy because I’d have 30 pages left and it would be gone.”
Now, fans on social media are fired up at the film’s main man, calling him a monster and a bully. Pretty sure that wasn’t Heard’s intention with sharing the story, but some of the backlash tweets are quite amusing.
Just learned that Jason Momoa ripped pages out of Amber Heard's books for attention on set of Aquaman and he's now 33% less hot.
Sorry, I don't make the rules.
