Jason Momoa stripped down to his traditional Hawaiian malo during an interview on “Jimmy Kimmel Live” to promote his new Netflix film “Slumberland.”

The former “Games of Thrones” actor stood up and stripped down to his traditional malo. He then turned around to reveal and shake his butt, much to the benefit of the audience and the author of this article.
Photos of Momoa’s fishing trip went viral on Instagram last month for shots of his bare ass taken as he reeled in an aku tuna.
“Amazing time with da ohana,” Momoa captioned the post. “Big mahalo to captain hopper and J for helping us catch some aku. Dried aku all week. Cheeehuuu.”
