In an exclusive interview, ‘Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom’ star Jason Momoa sheds light on his morning ritual, revealing a peculiar yet cherished breakfast choice that might raise a few eyebrows.
The 44-year-old actor, known for his rugged charm both on and off-screen, doesn’t hold back in sharing his favorite morning meal, which he affectionately describes as “weird.” Momoa discloses that his go-to breakfast consists of rice paired with avocado, sunny-side-up eggs, and sardines—a combination that may seem unconventional to many but holds a special place in his heart.
Momoa emphasizes the importance of using fresh sardines for his breakfast, preferably grilled to perfection. Despite its unorthodox nature, he unabashedly declares it as his “favorite thing,” indicating his adventurous palate and appreciation for unique flavors.
However, Momoa’s breakfast preferences take a nostalgic turn when he finds himself in his hometown of Honolulu, Hawaii. There, he indulges in a hearty spread of Portuguese sausage, eggs, rice, macaroni salad, kalua pig, lau lau, and a generous serving of poi—a traditional Hawaiian dish made from taro root. With a touch of humor, Momoa jokes that such a lavish meal inevitably leads to a well-deserved nap afterward.
Beyond his culinary adventures, Momoa’s commitment to environmental sustainability shines through his endeavors in the food and beverage industry. He recently launched Meili Vodka, featuring bottles made from recycled glass, and owns the aluminum-bottle water brand Mananalu, championing the reduction of single-use plastic.
Momoa’s sardine-heavy breakfast not only fuels him through his demanding workouts but also serves as a reflection of his eclectic tastes and laid-back lifestyle. His candid revelation offers fans a glimpse into his off-screen persona, characterized by a blend of rugged charm and environmental advocacy.
As anticipation builds for the release of ‘Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom’ on December 22, directed by James Wan and featuring a stellar cast including Patrick Wilson, Amber Heard, Nicole Kidman, and Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, Momoa continues to captivate audiences with both his on-screen heroics and his unconventional breakfast habits.
