Hollywood superstar Jason Momoa showed his fervent love for metal music and his down-to-earth nature as he rocked out at Metallica’s recent concerts in Los Angeles. The Aquaman and Fast X actor was captured in photos and videos, wholeheartedly enjoying the heavy metal extravaganza alongside fellow fans.
Momoa was spotted enthusiastically participating in a mosh pit during Metallica’s set, his arms raised in the air and singing along to the music. The actor’s passion for metal music is no secret, as he has previously credited specific songs and albums for inspiring some of his iconic roles, such as Aquaman. In a 2018 interview with Metal Hammer, he revealed his character-building process, citing Tool, Metallica’s debut album “Kill ‘Em All,” and Black Sabbath as significant influences.
