Aquaman’s Amber Heard Had to Hide Her Books on Set

Amber Heard, who recently starred in the DC superhero film Aquaman alongside Jason Momoa, said that she had to resort to hiding her books on set to prevent them from being torn by her co-star. Heard revealed during an interview with GMA that she’s a big reader and that a member of the crew would hand her books between sets, even when she was suspended on wires during the filming of action sequences.

“I would have to drop it between takes 30-feet in the air suspended on wires during these large setups and somebody would rush in and throw my book up at me,” she said. “I would feel so bad someone was going out of their way to do it so I was like, ‘no, it’s OK’ and they could tell I was going crazy — so wardrobe built me a book bag.”

As ABC News reports. Heard was even given a green-screen bag she could keep her books in so they wouldn’t interfere with her costume. “I could sling it over me and then I would just like bring it around and pull out my book,” she said.

However, Heard had to be careful to keep her books out of site from Momoa, who would prank her by ripping her books up. “He adopted this method of ripping out the pages of my book so I would pay attention to him,” she said. “It would drive me crazy because I’d have 30 pages left and it would be gone.”

It looks like even literature isn’t safe from Aquaman, but then water and paper never really did mix very well.
