Please welcome Jason Momoa.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
Well, you're just fabulous is all you are.
You're just like a giant thing of fabulous-stiosity.
I'm so nervous.
Why?
Because I'm on Ellen right now.
My mom is going to be so-- my mom's so stoked, everyone
in my whole family.
Well that's-- hi, mom and family.
Hi.
It's so nice to meet you.
It has been-- I don't know.
We've been on 16 years.
I'm just wondering, where have you been?
Why haven't-- if you like me so much, why aren't you here?
It took a long time for me to get famous.
I've been doing it for 20 years, and finally, just
this last year, it's been good.
No.
It has been a good year though, right?
It has been a good year.
So congratulations.
Thank you very much.
Yeah.
We have a tradition.
If you watch the show, you know what it is.
First time here, we need to show a shirtless photo.
So we'll start with, I think--
It's basically my whole career.
[CHEERING]
It's the whole segment.
Yeah.
[CHEERING]
That was Baywatch, right?
That's the reason why I wasn't on your show.
Now, come on.
That was Baywatch.
That's fantastic.
I drank that away.
That wasn't me.
Those memories are gone.
Oh, well, it was you.
Well, first of all, you are starting to grow it back.
But man, did you cause shockwaves around the world
when you shaved your beard.
It was trending.
I think it was the same day the Mueller report came out.
And it was overtrending the Mueller report.
Yeah, sorry about that.
That was an accident.
You know what's actually interesting,
is I had a dream that I wanted to come on here
and let you do it.
But I was in Vancouver finishing my show.
And I literally finished.
And I flew straight to Jordan to start a movie.
And I had no time to even see my family.
I had been away for a month.
But I called.
And I was like, I have 12 hours that I can come.
But you guys were on hiatus.
And it was some ridiculous day.
But I wanted to come on here because I
thought it would just be--
I just wanted to be heard and something
that was important to me.
And I was like, this is the perfect place.
And I've never ever-- and I know we've tried.
And I tried on Aquaman.
And it just didn't work out.
But I was like, I wanted to come be here.
I would have shaved it.
And that would have been so fun.
I know.
But you know what?
Aquaman 2 is coming.
And there's some other parts.
We're going to have to go back.
Good.
Well, I waxed tWitch's legs.
So I'll wax--
I do it all.
Yeah, I think Aquaman 2, I'll come in, and-- wow.
It was bad.
Yeah.
Whatever you need me to do--
It was bad.
I'm more of a shaver, or a clipping, a clipping.
I've never waxed before.
Really?
But it's a first time for everything,
you know what I'm saying?
And then I did Edelman's.
That's-- I cut--
Wow.
Yeah, it's turned into a salon here.
Yeah, I do mani pedis, anything you need.
Let me know.
These are pretty nice.
Do you need a mani pedi?
I probably need a lot.
What are you doing, working in the garden?
What's happening?
Actually, I was working on the garden.
I was working all day, yeah.
Your house is kind of like--
I've heard a lot about your house.
Explain it.
You've got an ax throwing area?
Yeah.
I've built a huge rock climbing wall.
And now we're building a bigger rock climbing wall.
And there's half pipes and tomahawk throwing
and bow and arrow and Airstreams and tepees and skateboard.
It's just--
Wow.
It's sort of like what you do for a living.
But you're just doing it at home.
And then you have animals all over the place.
Yes.
What do you have?
My wife has a donkey.
And we have two half wolves and a dog.
And another one just passed.
And then we have a snake.
What kind of snake?
It's a ball python.
It's the oldest in the family.
She's been around for a long time.
And where do you keep the snake, inside or outside?
I actually got a really funny story about the snake.
I love funny stories.
Yes.
This snake actually got out because there was
a little crack in the glass.
It got out, and we thought it was completely gone forever.
It was summertime.
And it was gone.
And we just left it, thought it was eaten up and out in nature.
And on Christmas Eve six months later, the dogs are going off.
I come upstairs naked.
And I'm trying to scare whatever's outside.
And all of a sudden, I hear something rattle inside,
and the dog's growling.
And I turn around, and there's just something on the floor.
And there was a balloon that had went down
from my kid's birthday.
And the snake had come out, and it was
in the house for six months.
What did it eat?
It was underneath the refrigerator.
That's the only place we didn't look.
How big is the snake?
It's-- you don't want to let it out of the-- you know.
Yeah.
We looked everywhere.
I didn't go under the fridge.
You clearly did not look everywhere.
Anyways.
What did it eat for six months?
Do you know?
You may have had a--
We have a lot of acres, so you get
a couple of field mice running in there maybe.
Maybe, yeah.
Wow.
That's incredible.
That's scary too.
Yes.
So let's talk about the beard because you shaved it.
And you didn't just shave it for vanity.
You shaved it because--
I just wanted to bring awareness because--
To?
I'm Aquaman now.
And I have all these little beautiful kids coming up to me.
And I never thought I'd be a role model.
So I've got to do that now.
I wanted to kind of save the planet
from single use plastics.
And I just felt that I'm making this water.
And I was looking at all these statistics, where
it's like 91% of all the plastics we're using
aren't recyclable.
And there's like 500 billion bottles a year that
are just that aren't recycling.
So aluminum is--
To put the water in aluminum.
Yeah, because I just feel like--
because this thing can turn back into a can in 60 days,
where I didn't know--
I was very ignorant to this.
But a plastic water bottle couldn't be a plastic water
bottle again.
It just goes out into our landfills and fills up.
And so this is totally reusable.
That's fantastic.
Even though-- yeah, it's just--
Yeah, that's fantastic.
Just being able to--
I live-- I carry my canteen.
We have a well in our home.
And when I travel so much, it's just-- even
though I'm probably trying to live the best that I
can to protect the environment, it's still getting made.
And so I just wanted to put an option out
there so that people could use canned water because this is
100% recyclable and reusable.
And we can do it in America.
And glass and plastic, we can't.
Yeah, fantastic.
Well, I love that you're doing that
and that we would have-- see, us talking about it
when I was shaving you.
But we're talking about it now.
So it doesn't matter.
Yes.
It doesn't.
We'll take a break, and we'll be back.
We're back with Jason Momoa.
And one of your hobbies is ax throwing.
And you're going to teach me, it says there.
How do I start?
We just got to throw it at it.
But how?
I was going to try this before.
So here's the one thing.
Because we throw footballs and we throw baseballs,
everyone kind of turns it like this and throw.
It just has to go straight over your head.
If you do this, the ax can't go straight.
It has to go right with the grain.
I see.
[INAUDIBLE]
Show me.
Throw.
[CHEERING]
Ready?
Well, move that because it's going to go right there.
Andy?
What are you supposed to do?
Andy, stand right there.
[LAUGHING]
So I just throw it like that.
So just stand right here, then one step, and throw it.
Let the ax do the work.
Almost.
You got that.
So now come up to this mark because it's all just
about the rotation of it.
You got this.
Yes, I got it.
You got it.
That was-- don't-- you threw harder.
You threw harder.
Just let the--
Don't throw it hard?
No, because just let the weight go.
You should have told me that.
I was putting all my weight into it.
Back and release.
Step right here.
This is very hard.
Let's just do you.
So [INAUDIBLE]
[CHEERING]
If I were to have taken my jacket off,
I probably would have done OK.
We're going to help you raise some money for your fight
to end plastic and bottle waste.
So we're adding targets to the wall.
Each one has a dollar amount.
You'll have 45 seconds to hit as many plastic water bottles
as you can.
Ready?
Yep.
Say go.
Yep.
Go.
[CHEERING]
Andy, you're supposed to be helping me out here.
[BLEEP]
Where we at?
Were good.
We're good.
[CHEERING]
What we got?
We're out of--
I'm out of shape.
31.
I'm out of shape.
We expected you to get $10,000.
And that's what we had planned.
But that's $31,000 for you.
It's 31 big ones from Shutterfly.
