‘Aquaman’ Star Jason Momoa Body-Shamed Over Recent Photos

Aquaman star Jason Momoa was body-shamed by people on the internet over recent pictures taken while he was on vacation with his family.

Photos surfaced on Tuesday with Aquaman star Jason Momoa shirtless on a beach while he was on vacation. Jason Momoa faced body-shaming from some on the internet because he was not sporting a six pack, with some saying he had a “dad bod.” It is no secret that one of the hardest parts of portraying a superhero is obtaining the physique of what one would look like in real life. Actors and actresses go through months of training to bring comic book characters to life, but a body can only be maintained that way for so long.

Jason Momoa is set to appear in Denis Villeneuve’s Dune, which is currently filming, but Aquaman 2 won’t start filming for a bit. So, it is no surprise that Jason Momoa isn’t in Aquaman shape at the moment and many took to the internet to defend him:

Here is the synopsis for Aquaman:

From Warner Bros. Pictures and director James Wan comes an acition-packed adventure that spans the vast, visually breathtaking underwater world of the seven seas, “Aquaman,” starring Jason Momoa in the title role.
