The awaited Aquaman 2, starring Jason Momoa, is currently running in theaters. As a part of the promotion, the makers released behind-the-scenes videos from the film about a month ago. One of the videos focused on the lead actor’s transformation into the Atlantean hero. It showed a glimpse of Momoa sitting down for makeup and suiting up. While doing so, Momoa called out MCU star Chris Hemsworth.

He implied his arms were just as big as MCU’s Thor. “You had to workout, I didn’t,” said Momoa while flexing in the suit. Hemsworth responded on social by showing off his arms without a suit. While appearing for an interview, the Game of Thrones actor clarified why he mentioned Hollywood’s God of Thunder in the BTS video.

Thanks to the loyal fan bases of DC and Marvel, almost every time people get involved with either company, fans clash online. Similarly, after Momoa called out Hemsworth, many assumed he was throwing shade at the Thor star. However, despite showing off his jacked arms, Chris Hemsworth didn’t argue with Momoa.

In fact, the Australian star said he loved Aquaman. Jason Momoa echoed the same sentiment during the interview with Extra TV. “Well there’s no beef I actually called Chris to help me get ready for Aquaman,” the 44-year-old said during the interview. Despite sporting a chiseled physique from Aquaman, Momoa said he couldn’t match Thor’s physique.

“I’m not going to be in that shape,” Momoa told the interviewer. “I’m definitely not as big as him and I have to wear a suit to be that big,” added the actor. However, when the report explained she and many others thought Momoa threw “shade” at Chris Hemsworth, Momoa dismissed the notion. He explained that it was a joke and the DC and MCU stars were good friends. Despite sporting a six-pack for most of his roles, Momoa doesn’t like going to the gym.

Jason Momoa loves the outdoors instead of exercising in the confines of a gym. He practices rock climbing and other physically intensive activities outside the gym. These activities, combined with the right diet help him stay in shape. When a role requires him to put on more muscle, he works with a trainer to get the job done.
