Well, it wouldn’t be a press junket without some strange behind the scenes admissions…
Amber Heard’s revelations from the set of Aquaman have fans seriously divided after the actress shared the pranks her co-star Jason Momoa pulled on her.
Speaking on Good Morning America, Amber shared the lengths Jason went to to keep her attention on-set.
“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,” she said.
“He adopted this method of ripping out the pages of my books so I would pay attention to him,” the actress admitted.
“It would drive me crazy because I’d have 30 pages left and it would be gone.”
“That’s actually cruel,” one of the Good Morning America hosts responded.
Twitter users agreed, with some even going as far as to call Jason a “monster” for ripping up Amber’s books.
Here’s what they had to say:
Speaking to the Hollywood Reporter, Jason admitted to his on-set antics.
“She stepped away, and I ripped out the last 10 pages of her 800-page book, like the last chapter,” he said.
To avoid Jason’s book-ripping pranks, crew on the set of Aquaman even created a book bag out of green screen material so Amber could carry her book on set with her and read between takes.
“I would feel so bad someone was going out of their way [to throw her book to her] but they could tell I was going crazy – so wardrobe built me a book bag,” Amber said in the interview.
“I could sling it over me and then I would just bring it around and pull out my book.”
Aquaman will be released in Australian cinemas on December 26th 2018.

Doing it once, perhaps. That crew have to make a co-star a special bag to stop the lead destroying her property.... what a dickhead...
So he doesn't respect other people's property or their right to spend their free time however they wish, even if that means not paying attention to him? What a catch.
I'm not following how the green screen bag stopped him from tearing pages out of her books though? She wore it while filming her scenes and then they edited it out or...?
From what I read, she spent a lot of time hanging from cables to do the underwater scenes. Problem was, there might be a lot of literally hanging around while people got things ready. So instead of people tossing a book up to her, they made her a bag out of the same material the green screen is made of so it could just hang there, and she could read between takes. That it also kept her books safe form Momoa was just another advantage.
Right, that makes sense now!
LOL. this is great
