Ask and you shall receive, Jimmy Kimmel.
Before Jason Momoa stripped down in front of the talk show host mid-interview (more on that later), he was already wearing a dress to remember: bright purple silk pajamas and a pink velvet coat.
The ensemble is reportedly the costume the actor wears in his new Netflix movie “Slumberland,” but Kimmel was far more interested in the traditional Hawaiian malo that Momoa wore on a recent fishing trip.
The “Aquaman” star explained that he wore the coat while filming “Chief of War,” an upcoming Apple TV+ limited series set in the 18th century about the unification and colonization of Hawaii.
“This is what I wear every day,” Momoa explained. “I was just getting ready for the role and I like to get into character, so I was tanning my white bum.”
The guest then began pestering the star with questions: “And is it comfortable? So will you wear it to the supermarket? Would you buy this? Let’s say you went to the cinema, would you wear it to the cinema?
Momoa happily accepted Kimmel’s questions, but chose to show rather than tell when the comedian asked if she was “wearing it under her clothes right now.”
“Sure,” Momoa replied, before standing up and stripping completely to reveal the bare dress inches from Kimmel’s face.
After looking (and even shaking a little) at the host, she quickly put her clothes back on to continue with the rest of the interview.
But Kimmel took a moment, joking, “Let me tell you, I’ve never felt more like Danny DeVito than I do right now.”
Momoa, for example, explained that evil is so comfortable that she much prefers it to her normal clothes.
“I actually don’t even like wearing clothes anymore,” she said. “I’m in it every day. I always wear it.”
Based on the applause from the audience, there are clearly no complaints.
