Johnny Depp and Amber Heard have been the talk of the town due to their contentious defamation case trials this year. Their trials, which were unique legal battles, received even more attention because audiences could watch them live streaming. According to a recent report, Amber may now be the celebrity who receives the most google searches due to the attention she has received.
Heard led the list of 2022’s most-searched celebrities, receiving 5.6 million separate US searches each month on average. With 5.5 million searches each month, her ex-husband and fellow actor Johnny Depp came in second. Elon Musk, Tom Brady, Pete Davidson, and even the late Queen Elizabeth II, who came in third, were ranked after the contentious couple. A-list athlete and football player Tom Brady was the fourth most-searched celebrity in 2022.
CelebTattler, which apparently tracked 150 celebs from Google search patterns in 2022, published the results. In contrast, Johnny Depp came in at number two on Google’s list of the most searched celebrities, with an average of 5.5 million searches per month. A representative for CelebTattler said in a statement provided to The New York Post, “This year has certainly not been lacking when it comes to celebrity news stories, whether it be Elon Musk taking over Twitter or the ‘Don’t Worry Darling’ behind the scenes drama.”
