Google has published a very funny and interesting overview of the most searched terms in different categories in 2022. As a film and series site, we naturally focus on everything that has to do with the film industry and Hollywood when reviewing these lists. And after we have already introduced you to the most sought-after films and series in a separate article, we now want to talk about the actors.
War of the Roses and slaps dominate everything
Not surprisingly, the list is mostly dominated by scandal and scandal-ridden stars – especially the “Pirates of the Caribbean” star Johnny Dep and his ex-wife Amber heard (“Aquaman”), who dominated headlines and social media in 2022 with their public trial much more than their on-camera work.
It resembles Will Smith van, whose Oscar smash at the 2022 Academy Awards overshadowed his year and may also have sabotaged any chances of a second Oscar with his new movie “Emancipation” (since December 8, 2022 on Apple TV+). But unlike Heard and Depp, at least Smith remained an actor.
Jungle camp makes popular
Depp, Heard and Smith are the top 3 most searched movie stars in Germany. The actresses are in fourth and fifth place Tina Ruland (“Manta, Manta”) and Anushka Renzi (“Verbotene Liebe”), but probably mainly because of her participation in the jungle camp or “I’m a star – get me out of here!” earlier this year. By the way, Google only has a list of famous people for Germany, regardless of their profession.
Globally, the situation is similar, with Depp, Smith and Heard also occupying positions 1-3 the most wanted actors (AND the most wanted personalities!). It is followed by those who are also involved in the slapping scandal Chris Rock and Jada Pinkett Smithbefore it finally gets a little less outrageous:
Joseph Quinn will have received a popularity boost due to his role in the fourth season of Stranger Things, as well Eve Peters for “Dahmer – Monster”. Julia Fox (“The Black Diamond”), on the other hand, may have made the top 10 because she went public with a relationship with Kanye West in early 2022, before ending it a short time later.
