Jason Momoa sent shockwaves to the bodybuilding world with his ripped avatar in the film Aquaman, 2018. The incredible fact is that the Hawaiian superhero’s strict diet and training for the film included his favorite beverage, Guinness beer. But things have changed lately. Momoa’s physique as a bad guy, Dante Reyes, in Fast X, is being criticized for not being as shredded as Aquaman. 

A recent clip of the 6’4’’ giant on YouTube has revealed the reason behind Momoa’s A.K.A., Dante Reyes’ not so shredded physique. The 43-year-old opened up and mentioned that he dislikes going to the gym and is more of a rock climbing and surfing guy.
