Over the years, Hollywood actors have made an image of being dedicated individuals towards bodybuilding to maintain their chiseled physique. It is often perceived by many fans that these stars spend hours in the gym rigorously training. However, Aquaman star, Jason Momoa, breaks the mold with his refreshing honesty about his disinterest in weightlifting and bodybuilding. 

Despite his enormous build and impressive physicality, Momoa openly admits that his motivation for working out primarily stems from his professional obligations.

Fans applaud Momoa’s honesty

In various interviews and videos shared on ‘tomigains’ YouTube channel, Momoa has expressed his true sentiments towards weightlifting. Momoa has been the talk of the town lately because of his latest release, Fast X. Jason Momoa’s physique as a bad guy, Dante Reyes, in Fast X, is being criticized for not being as shredded as he was in Aquaman.

The video has garnered a lot of attention, with fans reacting to Aquaman’s opinion.

Fans expressed their admiration and support for his honesty. Many commended him for his willingness to be genuine about his feelings towards weightlifting and bodybuilding. A fan wrote, “Love that he’s honest as hell. He only does it if he’s paid to. And he’s paid damn well.” However, another fan highlighted that it is not a rule for actors to like bodybuilding, and they limit it to their professional needs only. “Can we at least acknowledge he’s honest, the fact that he’s massive doesn’t mean he has to be a gym bro, he does what he has to do for those fat paychecks.”

The king of Atlantis defied this norm by openly admitting that weightlifting and bodybuilding are not his passions and said, “I don’t touch a weight unless they’re paying me to do it. I don’t enjoy lifting. That’s just genetically Hawaiian.” Some fans also supported his opinions as one wrote, “I mean he ain’t wrong about Hawaiian genetics”. Another fan wrote, “He has all the right in the world to not like lifting, and so does anyone else”.
