When Aquaman Dives into the Sea of Metal
The Man, The Myth, The Mosh Pit Maestro
Jason Momoa, the actor who brought the underwater superhero Aquaman to life, recently swapped his trident for a pair of devil horns at a Metallica concert. Yes, you read that right. The Hollywood A-lister was spotted at Sofi Stadium in Los Angeles, where Metallica performed one of their record-shattering gigs.
From Atlantis to the Mosh Pit: A Journey
Jason Momoa is no stranger to the limelight, starring in blockbuster films and popular TV shows like “Game of Thrones.” But this time, he wasn’t the one on stage; he was part of the crowd, losing himself in the music. On August 27, Momoa gave us a glimpse of his fanboy moment by sharing a video of himself getting pumped up for the concert. And guess what? He didn’t just stand there; he plunged right into the mosh pit! And luckily, it was caught on camera:
“Whiplash” and the Uncontainable Excitement
In the video, Momoa exclaims, “These f***ers opened with Whiplash!” before diving headfirst into the pit. For those not in the know, “Whiplash” is a classic Metallica track from their debut album, Kill ‘Em All, released in 1983. It’s a song that has fueled many a mosh pit over the years, making it a perfect choice to kick off a night of headbanging and crowd-surfing. Watch the spectacle from a fan’s perspective:
@thekrystalmethod0 Moshing with Jason Mamoa inside Metallica’s Snake Pit was not on my bingo card for 2023 😂 @prideofgypsies moshed in the circle pit with us during Whiplash. I ended up jumping in the circle pit myself and he high fived me at the end 🥲🥲🥲 Jason is of the people and he really is as nice as everyone says he is.
