Jason Momoa’s New Photos For A Magazine Are So Good They Got 1.2 Million Likes In Less Than 24 Hours

ADVERTISEMENT

Actor, local Khal, and athletic Aquaman Jason Momoa is making headlines all over the world, but this time it’s not because of his underwater shenanigans or attempts to impress the Khaleesi. The actor recently gave an interview to Esquire magazine which caught the attention of many internet users because of the unusual and adorable pictures taken for it.

The reason why Momoa’s name is on many people’s lips? The mountain of muscles and actor who resembles a Greek god showed a different side to his life when he did a photo shoot holding a cat and eating peaches. It just goes to show that Momoa really is a bad boy with a heart of gold and truly is the King of the Wild Things, especially when you consider his love for animals.

You can read Momoa’s full interview with the fabulous Esquire magazine right here.

During the interview with Esquire, Momoa revealed that he is a real animal fanatic and a family man. He has two dogs at home. Both of them are an interesting mix: half malamute, half wolf. What’s more, the actor has two kids. And a donkey. You read that right. A donkey.

He describes himself as a puppy, not an old soul.

“I’m not, like, an old soul,” Momoa described himself. “I’m a young puppy.” 

Petting cats and eating peaches, Momoa captured many an internet user’s heart

The actor also told the story of how he got the manly scar near his left eyebrow. No, it wasn’t some epic fight to save humanity; rather, somebody hit him with a glass at a Hollywood bar back in 2008.

40-year-old Momoa is an actor who likes his superheroes. He played Aquaman in the 2016 superhero film Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, Justice League (2017), as well as the titular Aquaman (2018) movie.

But did you know that Momoa also played Conan the Barbarian in the 2011 film by the same name? We can definitely see why — his muscles are almost as big as Arnold Schwarzenegger’s!

Here’s how people reacted to Momoa’s photo shoot for his interview with Esquire

Well, part of the interview was the "scrunchie challange" so... Yeah... Can't blame him though: it's a functional accessoire!

"Jason Momoa Strokes A Black Kitten And Reveals He Knows How To Iron In A Magazine Interview": BP is starting to scrape the bottom of the content barrel with this tabloid type article.

Yes, he looks good no matter what he's doing. Huge reason why: He doesn't take himself too seriously. I've seen him do an interview with the two pony thing, I *think* it was for his child? Momoa loves life and we love him for looking good while he does it. And if that's wrong, I just don't want to be right.

They don’t realize that the looks hook us in but it’s the personality and heart that keeps us liking him.

In the UK and Ireland, black cats are considered lucky. Now you know why.

He was even holding the cat correctly. He supported kitty's back legs instead of just grabbing it around the shoulders and letting it's back feet dangle.

I think it is amazing that he is being true to his fans as well as himself. Yes he is a goodlooking man but obviously is is a good person as well because anyone who loves animals is a good person inside and that is what truely matters... Keep up the great work and maybe you can speak to other actors but mostly actresses that they should NOT wear animals but should revere them instead.... Thank you for keeping it real your family has a great role model...

I had the honor of meeting Jason at a DragonCon convention 8 or so years ago when he was on Stargate Atlantis and he was just such a sweet gentle soul, I knew he was destined for bigger things. It’s been wonderful watching him be so successful and marrying the girl of his dreams.

Why doesn't he have that black cat yet? Also, when they perfect cloning, I'm going to order three of him.

What about his UN speech on oceans trying to shame everyone? He flew to do a shoot that gets printed on glossy magazine stock printed with ink containing heavy metals. He is a hypocrite whohasn't changed his lifestyle

I can't help but be ashamed of being a woman when I see another one using the same disgusting, sexist words and sexual invitations that men used on us before they knew better. People are not objects.
