Venice went full color on Wednesday as Jason Momoa made a striking entrance at the premiere of In The Hand of Dante.
Skipping the traditional black tuxedo, the 46-year-old actor went all-in with a bold pink ensemble, complete with pink Birkenstocks and a matching pedicure.
It was a red carpet moment fans won’t forget.
Red Carpet Fun and Flamboyance
Momoa’s playful energy was on full display as he strutted across the Venice Film Festival carpet, flashing his pink toes to photographers and posing with his usual charismatic flair.
The actor, known for his charming antics, larked around with cameramen and seemed to be thoroughly enjoying the star-studded evening.
Celebrating a New Film
Arriving in Italy in the early hours of Wednesday, Momoa was celebrating the premiere of his latest film, In The Hand of Dante.
The drama, which stars Gerard Butler, Gal Gadot, Sabrina Impacciatore, Franco Nero, and John Malkovich, follows the journey of The Divine Comedy manuscript from the Vatican library into the hands of a mob boss in New York.
A New Look and Ongoing Advocacy
Fans were also reminded of Momoa’s evolving style earlier this year when he shaved off his thick beard while promoting his water brand, Mananalu, which he launched in 2019.
Sharing updates with nearly 17 million followers, Momoa highlighted the eco-conscious mission behind his brand:
“We’re taking it even further, partnering with our team at Get Boomerang Water to bring in a closed-loop system that sanitizes and bottles water onsite.
That means even less waste, reduced shipping footprint, and our aluminum bottles get reused over and over.
This is the future, and we’re starting in Hawai’i.”
He urged his fans: “Let’s get rid of single-use plastic. For our children and for our planet. All my aloha, J.”
Reflecting on Career Highlights
Momoa also looked back on his journey in Hollywood, reflecting on his role in Dune: “I think it’s been six years since I did Dune.
What was really special about that is that’s when I started [growing my beard] and started launching Mananalu.”
A Close Call at Sea
The Aquaman star didn’t shy away from sharing more personal stories.
On the latest Smartless podcast, Momoa opened up about a terrifying near-death experience while surfing off the coast of Maui, Hawaii, in 2007.
Describing the ordeal, he explained: “I was doing this paddle, we went in at Jaws,” referring to the infamous northern shore surf break.
Momoa’s leash snapped mid-ride during a 13-mile paddle along the coast.
Despite being experienced, he was battered by 10-foot waves and faced a tense situation nearly half a mile offshore.
Love and Life
Amid the excitement of the Venice Film Festival, Momoa is reportedly dating Andor actress Adria Arjona, adding a touch of personal happiness to his busy professional life.
Fans will be watching eagerly as he continues to make headlines both on and off the screen.
