He is. Back before Covid he attended our con and the golf carts that move folks in the background was dying. Jason Mamoa jumped out and pushed then called out his moderator to help push. He also has no qualms about wandering the convention floor.
"That's okay. I am kind of strong." Beautiful retort from a beautiful man. My wife is always very excited to see him in movies, I guess because he's a really good actor.
He did one of those MTV Cribs-esque celebrity house tours for Men's Health magazine and answered the door in nothing but an open bath robe. Rocked out with his cock out through the entire tour and interview, and rode a bicycle around his gym naked. I probably would too if I was built like a Polynesian god. https://youtu.be/DqtN-9GVdZ8?si=zmc9vv63qw8USlMZ
Met him once in a grocery store. He was promoting his and his business partner's brand of alcohol. Nice enough guy, very fun. It was, in the scheme of things, a smaller grocery store than you'd expect to meet a celebrity.
I like Jason Mamoa but I'm a little salty that when filming was happening in Huntly for the Minecraft Movie he didn't come visit the rubbish collection company based in Huntly to get some real world reference for the role he was playing
Actors and athletes and the like tend to be a little more down to earth because thereās a lot more diversity in their upbringing than with other wealthy elites. Remembering the struggle does wonders for oneās humility
And also realizing that THESE PEOPLE are why you're where you're at. Rich business fucks forget that they're rich because we buy their shit, and work their factories.
I went on a date with a wild cougar lady who was an extra with a line on Baywatch in an episode with Mamoa and she talked about him the whole time. leave some for the rest of us, Jason!
he did the best he could with Baywatch Hawaii. Both Hawaiian actors were far better than the scripts really allowed. When I found out he'd be in GOT, I wasn't disappointed for his acting. My only concern was his looking the part and later learned that he really grew in to looking the role.
Terrible in Dune. The way he rushed his lines are awful. Heās got a cool personality and unique look. But heās not a real actor. Kind of like a Shwartzenneger type actor.
I really didn't. The movie had almost no plot and what little was there was basically a parody of a rehash of the same old bullshit from the 90s, so much so that I personally found it to be completely uninteresting. Jason Mamoa being a supreme douche and Jack just being Jack was much more entertaining.
One of the hardest things about getting older is understanding that not everything is made for your enjoyment. It's nice when it hits the mark..... but it's ok to let others enjoy things, too. In this case, nobody enjoyed the Minecraft movie more than Momoa and Black.
Let's get something straight. If I say I don't like something, I'm in no way saying other people shouldn't like it as well. If I give reasons why I don't like something, Those reasons are specific to me only and not meant to try and force others to agree with me. I share my opinion on the internet because that's what the internet is for. If you disagree with my opinion, that's perfectly fine. But don't lie and say I'm trying to make others dislike something I disliked. That's disingenuous.
Anyone going into the Minecraft movie expecting there to be a decent plot was setting themselves up to have a bad time. Minecraft has never taken itself seriously, why would the movie?!?!
Admittedly I was there for my nephew who's 9, but still. Lol. I'd been watching a lot of Minecraft Manhunt videos and they changed a bunch of mechanics for the movie. I absolutely don't hold that against them, because I understand why the books are always different from the film (Film has to work in favor of the audience and you can't do introspection and sudden realization very well on film, and the same for subtle game mechanics).
But let's face it. Steve in the film wasn't a person. He was a Cryptid. You'd think there'd be local legends of the weird kid who kept trying to break into the mine, who only ever wore the exact same color and who, when he was an adult, finally busted past the old man who haunted the apparently abandoned mine only to disappear inside?
Grew up with some guys that are in a band he likes a bit. They've spent time with him and think the world of him. They couldn't care less about his fame, but have "give him a kidney" kind of appreciation for him. FWIW.
The dude came to a local grocery store where I live to promote his wine. He stayed and took a photo with every single person that showed up. He stayed about 2 extra hours to make sure everyone had a chance to meet him. Thats pretty alright in my book.
He comes back tonthe town he was raised in, in Iowa. We avoid town when hes home because ofnthe crowds, but he always seems to treat everyone well as far as I have heard.
I just want them to be decent human beings publicly. It's a lot to ask they be perfect. They're human, too. I remember when Paris Hilton was a role model and turning toddlers into hoes. It was a weird period in fashion.
He visited my friend's restaurant for his liquor launch or something and my buddy said he was the nicest guy, stayed late to chat with everyone and sign autographs
I mainly care about celebs being decent ppl bc they are in the spot light, there are people and children (i mean i GUESS they are ppl /s) who look up to them. See them as role models. Its a bit of an undertaking to constantly be a shining light since ur in the light constantly but I think for millions of dollars you can spare some time here and there you can just be decent, or even better, be awesome to ppl. U have the option to show the world how to be excellent to eachother. Plz use it
Alright, I get the stakes are pretty low here, but attesting something and then only clarifying later that it was a thing you think you heard from a questionable source a long time ago is exactly how misinformation spreads. We have unlimited access to more information now than at any point in human history, just take 10 seconds and check before you post <3
Dude, go to a search engine of your liking and search yourself. News had it in headlines back when. While you're at it look up the word "apparently" maybe?
while i can not speak for this open relationship in question. i would like to say it is definitely possibly to breech an open relationship contract if someone doesn't abide by what was deemed acceptable/not acceptable for their relationship. sadly a step that seems to be often forgotten, and unfortunately willfully "forgotten" in other cases by people that give open relationships a bad name and try to force it onto a unsure they even want that partner
Lying about it is usually that thing. Itās also possible to close it after not enjoying the experience. I was generally curious if it was actually cheating or the tabloid version where only married people can ever engage in sexual activity.
fair, sorry to overexplain what you knew, guess something about the comment made it seem to me like you were saying cheating couldn't happen in an open relationship. and well thats not your fault i have just heard that said before so oops my mistake mistaking your intent, but guess the comment can still be useful for other readers to keep in mind if they never thought about it
best I found is a tone deaf joke from 2011 which he has taken ownership of. While crude, the core of it is that being a fantasy actor let's you do things like kill people and rape. I hope your entire life isn't judged by a sentence said 14 years ago with the way you judge others.
he made a tone deaf joke in 2011 about being a fantasy actor is fun because you get to kill people by ripping out their tongues and rape beautiful women. he as taken ownership at how inappropriate that was. At some point I wonder if this user holds themselves to an identical standard where their life is forever judged by a single inapropriate statement 14 years ago.
Well that's how I knew which islands they were referring to. I live in Northern California, so the only "islands" that are famous to me are the Hawaiian islands, so it would be normal for my area. I would assume someone who lives in the Pacific North West or someone on the East coast might not refer to them as that.
