Kiwi comedian Hayley Sproull's has a flirty chat with Jason Momoa.
Fast and Furious X star Jason Momoa may have just found his ticket to becoming a Kiwi citizen.
In a flirty interview with the star ahead of his film’s premiere in Auckland over the weekend, comedian and ZM radio host Hayley Sproull pointed out that we all know Momoa isa big fan of our country.
As the interview began, the comedian offered Momoa a disclaimer.
“If I seem a little nervous, this is actually my first press junket ... and I’ve had two shots of tequila and a glass of Prosecco downstairs,” she admitted before offering him tickets to her NZ Comedy Fest show.
She even pitched a potential film to the actor - starring, of course, herself and Momoa playing a married couple.
“We’re like an Italian couple and our business has been destroyed by the very fast and actually quite furious cars that drive through our shop. And we’re gonna rebuild our shop and our marriage at the same time,” she suggested.
“I’m in, f*** yeah,” Momoa replied. The pair riffed in Italian accents about what their next steps should be and it’s fair to say things got a little ... X-rated.

But the star made Sproull’s day when he suggested she dye her hair black for the role before backtracking and telling her: “No ... I like where [your hair] is at. I think you’re perfect the way you are.”
So, did Aquaman himself turn up at Sproull’s comedy show that night?
The comedian later told the Herald that the star sadly couldn’t make it “because it clashed with the Fast X premiere”.
“But in lieu of his presence he sent me a video apologising for not being there, which was honestly very sweet. He’ll just have to come to my next show ... there will forever be two tickets on the door for Mr Momoa at any show I’m in,” she said.
“My fiancé [Aaron Cortesi] is tickled by the whole thing - he’s my very own Jason Momoa and honestly he just watches this all and laughs his head off. I think he’s super proud that I didn’t stuff up the interview and that people are talking about it.”
