Every year towards the end, the tech giant and global search platform Google releases the list of most searched names and celebrities. And Brown has now unlocked the achievement of staying atop Google’s top trending celebrities in 2022. This year has been a roller coaster ride for Antonio Brown in his professional and personal life. With an abrupt exit from the football field, the former Super Bowl Champion continued to catch the headlines.

While ‘Wordle’ became one of the most searched words, American actor Johnny Depp turned out to be the top trending actor this year. All thanks to the defamation lawsuit he filed against his ex-wife Amber Heard. Although his marriage drama unfolded for only three months, from April to June, it was enough to gain traction and trend for the entire year.

While ‘Captain Jack Sparrow’ secured the top spot, Heard got placed third on the list. Surprisingly, the Oscar slap by Will Smith seemed to have been heard across the world. Smith grabbed the second spot, and Chris Rock stayed in fourth.

Meanwhile, the most eye-catching moment for NFL fans was Antonio Brown trending in this list. “Johnny Depp, Will Smith, Amber Heard, and Antonio Brown top the list of most searched people in 2022 as well as social media favorite Julia Fox.” said the reports shared by CGTN America on their official Twitter handle.

The Seven-time Pro Bowler attracted more attention after his tweets and off-field activities directly shot arrows at his former quarterback Tom Brady. During that period, Brady was going through a dark phase dealing with divorce and his 23rd NFL career.

Releasing awkward T-shirts with a picture of Gisele Bündchen fumed the fans even more. Although he addressed the move as an initiative to raise the funds, it was certainly not welcomed by the netizens.

At some point, Brown even went on to say that he never had a friendship with Brady. Because he never got his back and criticized the Buccaneers for releasing him. Nonetheless, Brown continues to stay on the celebrity list no matter how he presents himself to the world.
