**[Location, Spain] -** Amidst rumors of a strained relationship on the set of “Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom,” producer Peter Safran has dismissed claims that Jason Momoa intentionally antagonized co-star Amber Heard.

Heard’s testimony in her defamation case against ex-husband Johnny Depp sparked allegations that Momoa, who plays the titular Aquaman, dressed like Depp to unsettle her and behaved in ways that made her feel uncomfortable.

Safran, however, has categorically refuted these claims, calling the set “professional” and commending the working relationship between Momoa and Heard. He acknowledged that filming was challenging due to a demanding schedule and physical demands but emphasized that both actors remained dedicated to their roles.

While Safran assures fans that Momoa and Heard worked well together, Hollywood history has shown that on-screen chemistry can be influenced by real-life dynamics. Examples like Julia Roberts and Nick Nolte in “I Love Trouble” and Jamie Dornan and Dakota Johnson in “Fifty Shades of Grey” suggest that strained relationships off-screen can translate into a lack of chemistry on-screen.

Conversely, strong on-screen partnerships like Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet in “Titanic” and Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling in “La La Land” demonstrate how positive off-screen dynamics can elevate a film’s authenticity and emotional impact.

According to Safran, Momoa brought “positive energy” to the set, and there was no tension, antagonism, or costume-related behavior intended to mock Heard. His statement counters speculation that Momoa’s actions were fueled by ongoing tension between him and Heard, a narrative that emerged following Heard’s allegations against Depp.
