Elon Musk shares Amber Heard Mercy cosplay
Released on Sept. 12, the biography is about Musk's personal life. The author of it is Walter Isaacson, and the biography notes how Musk once asked ex-girlfriend Heard to dress up as Mercy.
According to the media, Heard spent two months getting the Mercy outfit designed and commissioned. The actress told the author of the biography Isaacson that her "nerd passion" was a driver in how she decided what films or TV projects to work on.
“I guess I could be called a geek for someone who can also be called a hot chick," said Amber to Isaacson.
Mercy is a character and support hero in Overwatch 2. Her default outfit features a halo, wings, dress, and a staff that can heal her teammates and boost their damage output. Mercy is one of the most iconic characters from Blizzard's FPS title, and was Musk's favorite character at the time.
Below is a screenshot of the Mercy cosplay:
According to the biography, this request to cosplay as Mercy was made following Musk's visit to the set of Aquaman. Heard was playing the role of Mera, Aquaman's love interest, at that time.
