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.
One X — formerly Twitter — user wrote that the gag was an “attempt at off-color/topical humor.”
Another user on X asked the writer what he found so funny about “domestic violence.”
One more disapproving reaction to the joke from an X user stated:
“’The Fall Guy’ made a distasteful ‘joke’ about the domestic abuse Amber suffered at the hands of Johnny. It’s 2024, why are we writing these kinds of lines into movies? nasty [sic] work.”
For the unaware, Depp and Heard experienced a rocky relationship after getting married in 2015. Following their divorce around 15 months later, the two were involved in highly publicized legal battles, involving defamation lawsuits. The Depp and Heard trial reached its final verdict in 2023.
