Actor Jason Momoa has been in Toronto, Canada semi-recently filming his latest movie for Netflix, Slumberland. Momoa plays an ‘eccentric outlaw’ who helps some kid get to the dreamworld after they found a map.
The movie comes out very soon (November 18) which means the pictures below shared by Jason Momoa must’ve actually been from months back. He shared photos of himself on the set of Slumberland with a wild pig he temporarily adopted.
Momoa was unable to bring his wild pig friend home after giving it a name. The first video has the caption “my new friend LAU LAU. or MANAPUA. we haven’t decided yet. this is why i can’t work with animals i want to bring them home. wild and feral like his pops. aloha j.” And in the second video, he referred to his wild pig friend as ‘mr MANAPUA’ which suggests he settled on that name:
As a young kid, all I ever wanted was a pet pig. I’m not sure if it was the movie Babe that did it for me or what, but Jason Momoa is living my childhood dream here. And evidently from the joy on his face he’s also living out his childhood dream:
There’s no sense in sharing what people said in the comments. It’s an even mix of random folks saying ‘stop eating bacon’ and others who are fawning over the adorable baby pig.
