Fans know Jason Momoa<\/a><\/strong> can act, but did they know he can also dance?<\/p>\n

The actor surprised everyone at the Hollywood premiere of Aquaman<\/em> on Wednesday by performing a haka\u2014a traditional dance in M\u0101ori culture.<\/p>\n

The epic moment occurred after the DC star walked the carpet with his wife, Lisa Bonet<\/strong>, and their children, Lola<\/strong> and Nakoa-Wolf<\/strong>. He then grabbed his trident, stripped off his black jacket (showing off his physique) and summoned his fellow dancers to join him. Momoa seemed to put his heart and soul into each of the moves and the chant. Even his kids joined in on the fun as did his co-star Temuera Morrison<\/strong>, who plays his father in the film. At one point, Momoa smashed his trident over his knee, breaking it in half.<\/p>\n

Of course, the crowd erupted with applause after the performance.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

So, what inspired the star to break out into dance in the first place? Momoa told E! News he considered it an “offering” and that he had dedicated a lot of his energy to honoring\u00a0the people and culture. As for his kids joining in on the fun, he suggested it was a total surprise.<\/p>\n
