In the clip, Mr Momoa explained that he started wearing the loincloth in preparation for his role on Apple TV’s ‘Chief of War’, but just kept it from there. “And I was just getting ready for the role, because I like to get into character, and so I was tanning my white a**,” he said.

Mr Kimmel then asked, “That’s comfortable?” To this, Mr Momoa then hit back saying, “Oh my God, yes. I actually don’t like wearing clothes anymore. I mean, I’m in it every day. I wear it all the time”.
When asked whether he was wearing one at the time, the actor then proceeded to remove his clothes and show off his malo, before exposing his whole backside to the audience. Mr Momoa even decided to have a little shake in front of Mr Kimmel’s face, who laughed throughout the display and said, “Let me tell you, I’ve never felt more like Danny DeVito than I do right now”.
The video was shared on YouTube just two back. Internet users flooded the comment section with heart and fire emojis.
“One user wrote, “I love how Jason Momoa is his authentic self and doesn’t take himself too seriously. I’m just realizing how funny he is. Jimmy Kimmel really rolled with it”. Another said, “Now I understand why people love him so much. Such a masculine yet gentle and has the best genuine laugh ever”.
