Elon Musk's love for video games is pretty well known. A new biography for the eccentric billionaire reveals that he had a rather peculiar request from ex-partner Amber Heard.
According to a biography written by Walter Isaacson, Musk requested his former partner, the internet favourite person to hate, Heard, to cosplay the Overwatch character, Mercy. If we're being honest, Heard resembles the blonde female support character from the Activision Blizzard Game quite a bit. Mercy sports angelic wings attached to her battle suit and wears a headpiece that resembles a Halo.
The unusual request was made by Musk on the set of DC Films' Aquaman in which Heard played a significant role along wutg Jason Momoa. Isaacson shared that Musk made the request simply because his ex-partner reminded him of Mercy, his favorite character in Overwatch. Heard reportedly spent two months working on the cosplay.
"[Musk] told her that she reminded him of Mercy, his favourite character in […] Overwatch," Isaacson wrote. "So she spent two months designing and commissioning a head-to-toe costume so she could role-play for him."
Heard, the veteran actress, wasn't out of her element in cosplaying as a fictional character for her former partner. "I guess I could be called a geek for someone who can also be called a hot chick," Heard said of the request to cosplay as Mercy.
