00:00I don't do protein shakes.
00:02Gotta eat that ass, you know what I'm saying?
00:04I eat my protein.
00:06I'm a lion.
00:07Lions don't drink no goddamn shake.
00:09You need to get the meat in you.
00:12I'm screwed.
00:13This press tour is just like, I'm so screwed.
00:16My whole team's just like, there's the clickbait.
00:18Jason, eat the ass.
00:21Aloha, I'm Jason Momoa.
00:23And Men's Health has asked me to tell you what I love to eat.
00:25So let's dig in.
00:37What's my philosophy behind what I eat?
00:42I dictate my whole day in life around food.
00:48So I really wanna know what I'm gonna have for dinner.
00:53Will dictate how hard I'm gonna work.
00:56No, I just, I love to work really hard.
00:59And at the end of the day, the dog wants his bone.
01:02So I get really excited.
01:04If we're gonna go, you know,
01:05because you don't eat sushi every day, but I love sushi.
01:07And so I love Japanese, anything Japanese.
01:09And so I'm like, oh my God,
01:10we're gonna go eat this place tonight.
01:12I'm like, so my whole day is just amped.
01:15You know, I have a chef when I'm working.
01:17So it depends on what role I have to.
01:20Sometimes I gotta gain weight.
01:21Sometimes I lose weight.
01:22That's like, I gotta lose weight.
01:23I'm bummed.
01:25Justice League and Aquaman, all the, all the Supergirl kind of
01:27.
01:27I'm not like a guy that wants to walk around for that.
01:31I'm old now.
01:32So that was a young man's game.
01:33Now it's like, it's all about my heart.
01:35And probably like living a little less stress-free.
01:38And even though I have like a lot of things I love to eat that probably aren't good for me,
01:41but it's not like junk food .
01:43It's like, I probably shouldn't eat so much like oysters and uni and caviar.
01:48Cause I'm Polynesian and it, it's not good for me.
01:52And so like a high blood pressure and stuff like that.
01:54So it's like, I try to like now eat from my heart a little bit more like that.
01:57Then try to eat to build muscle.
01:59I love breakfast.
02:01Hungover dirty breakfast.
02:03You want the clean breakfast.
02:04Which one do you want?
02:05Of what states am I in?
02:06Right?
02:07I'm like, if I'm in Iowa per se, I'm gonna go to the Waveland Cafe.
02:10I'm gonna get the Lumberman.
02:11They make the best biscuits and gravy ever.
02:13Ever.
02:15I'm done.
02:15If I'm in Hawaii, I'm gonna eat Hawaiian food.
02:17If I'm on the west side, I'm gonna go to Hanara's and I'm gonna have Kalua pig.
02:21I'll have lao lao.
02:22I'll have poi.
02:22Poi with everything.
02:24Rice, mac salad.
02:26I'll get probably Portuguese sausage with it.
02:29Also my guilty breakfast is like, I love buttery noodles.
02:32So tons of spaghetti.
02:34Half a stick of butter.
02:35Tons of sea salt on that.
02:36Sunny side up eggs.
02:37And then a tin of caviar.
02:39Eggs on eggs is what we call it.
02:40That's the banger.
02:44Healthy.
02:45When I'm eating healthy, I just like to get some protein in the morning.
02:48When I would be doing like say Aquaman, I would have it every morning.
02:52I have like this black rice.
02:54Avocado.
02:55I love sardines.
02:56And then sunny side up eggs on that.
02:58And seaweed.
02:59Like wakame.
03:00They're my favorite.
03:02And then it's delicious.
03:03I'm hungry now.
03:06I'm not really a lunch guy.
03:07I just really, I'm really good at just going, I'll eat clean.
03:10So I just like eat the chicken, eat whatever I'm supposed to do.
03:13Keep it clean.
03:14I'm working.
03:14And then at night I can have my three Guinness every night.
03:18My mom, she just like drink good beer.
03:21But yeah, my mom used to work for the Leidenkugel and at the hockey games.
03:24And so she just raised me drinking better beers than Bud Light and that .
03:29Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
03:31I don't eat too much red meat anymore.
03:34I used to be like steak every day.
03:36You know, I'm almost 50 and I'm like, I got to lay off of the caviar, oysters,
03:43beer, red wine, all the things that are, you know, king's diet.
03:46All things that are bad for you.
03:48All the things I love.
03:51It's funny because my trainer's here right now.
03:52What would you say, sir?
03:54Like, it's a good question for the trainer.
03:55So what's harder?
03:57What's harder?
03:57Is it training or is it eating?
04:00For most people, the eating is the harder bit because you can find an hour to train.
04:05It's usually people get undone all the other time.
04:08But like when he's on it, he's on it.
04:11Drinking is probably mine.
04:13Drinking is probably the hard one.
04:15I'm a big fan of good times.
04:17Do you ever like not drink?
04:26I don't need caffeine, I'm a psycho.
04:29I wake up every morning like it's Christmas.
04:32That's why I love riding motorcycles so much because I'm just like, boom,
04:37you can't think about anything else.
04:39I am like the sketchier, the better because I'm just like in focus.
04:45I'm like, I'm going through it all right now.
04:47It's cool.
04:48My son loves watching things that I'm in and he's starting to act and he loves action.
04:53I saw him watching all these things that I'm in.
04:56I'm like, that's why I hurt.
04:58Like I've hurt.
05:00And so I wish I would have took a little bit better care.
05:03Like you should stretch.
05:04You should do all those things.
05:05I just didn't.
05:05I grew up in the generation that wasn't, you know,
05:08even when I played hockey, I kind of went like,
05:10all right, let's go.
05:12I'm not going to smash people.
05:13Have I changed that?
05:14Do I stretch now?
05:15No.
05:16Should I?
05:17Yeah, I'm aware of it.
05:21Top three Hawaiian foods of all time.
05:23I mean, I can't do anything without taro, kalo, poi.
05:27Like just in any form.
05:30Baked, fried, smashed, whatever I love.
05:33And then I would say I love Kahlua Pig and I love, I love Lalo.
05:39The one thing from childhood that I absolutely love
05:41is Kraft Macaroni and Cheese.
05:42Kraft Macaroni and Cheese is hardcore.
05:45I spice it up, which is putting cherry tomatoes in it.
05:48You let them get hot.
05:50And they just like burst.
05:51That's when I'm like trying to repress someone.
05:55Putting tomatoes in it.
05:58What's my sushi order?
06:00Would definitely be uni.
06:02And I would definitely have some caviar on top of that uni.
06:04And even like the chaser ones where you have the oyster and the uni.
06:07You know, like a little gout bomb.
06:11Those are my favorite.
06:14There's one thing I haven't had that I'd be kind of scared to have.
06:17And I don't know if I would eat it.
06:18But what?
06:19I think it's what it's called.
06:19I haven't had it.
06:20It's egg.
06:21It's still got the baby chicken.
06:24That's not a hard one to get.
06:26So that was just, we did Minecraft in Mexico City.
06:29And I had to eat like a cockroach that was like, and like, I eat all this.
06:32A scorpion.
06:33Wonderful.
06:34Scorpion was great.
06:36You eat ants.
06:37You eat all kinds of spiders and stuff like that.
06:38I was like, mm.
06:39Mm.
06:40Trace that down with a beer, like Guinness.
06:42Mm.
06:45My favorite carb is pasta.
06:47But it's also, I love rice too.
06:50I love poi.
06:52I'd have to go with fish.
06:54Man, I really love sardines.
06:57Oh, I want the dirty one.
06:59Peanut butter, skippy, chunky.
07:04I think if you're brave enough, you're taking anything from my plate.
07:07My lady, of course.
07:09What's mine is mine.
07:11And what's yours is mine.
07:15Throw it over here, mama.
07:16If I'm not drinking, these are not good for you.
07:20But I love hot tamales.
07:22My mom raised me on hot tamales and popcorn.
07:24So I cannot watch a movie without hot tamales and popcorn.
07:28My favorite food smell in the world is...
07:36It's gotta be some kind of...
07:40Meat stew.
07:45Smash burger.
07:46A good farm tomato.
07:47I don't really need the lettuce, but I just like, I like that combination of the
07:51mustard, the tomatoes, and the dill pickles.
07:54It's just another vehicle for me to eat mustard.
07:56I love mustard.
07:57And they're all forms.
08:00Absolutely.
08:01My girl makes fun of me.
08:02And I'll like, I'll like put something down.
08:04I have to do it because I know I'm going to eat popcorn like an idiot.
08:07It's like...
08:11And so that thing in bed, bad.
08:14Eating in bed is cool, but no crumbs in bed.
08:18This is like one of the most important things for me.
08:21Like this is why I knew that I made it.
08:23Jenny got the phone for my movie Wrecking Crew that's coming out.
08:26We get to go to my favorite restaurant in Hawaii, Zippy's.
08:30And look at this.
08:31The Wrecking Crew Crew Pack.
08:34I made it.
08:37It's got Portuguese sausage, got mac salads, got rice, got fried chicken.
08:41But that's my movie there.
08:43So I got to go home and I'm going to freak out.
08:45That's what I eat.
08:46I apologize.
08:47Dave would have been way better to interview.
08:49So Wrecking Crew comes on on Amazon Prime.
08:52Please come check it out.
08:55That's so cool that it's so hot here.
