[Jessie] – I know you like Jason Momoa. My wife’s celebrity hall pass is Jason Momoa. I don’t mind. I get it. I understand. If I could arrange a meeting between the two of them, I would, but I don’t have his number. So what I’m going to do is for her birthday she can’t be given Jason Momoa, but what she can be given is me. So I’m gonna take some of Jason’s most iconic photos. I’m gonna recreate them featuring me, Rhett Momoa, and I’m going to get my best friend Link to help me with that. knock, knock. Yeah tell me about this project. I need you to make me look like the man that my wife thinks is the sexiest man in the world. And who is that? Jason Momoa. Aquaman. I have a secret. I’m a Marvel guy. He was in Game of Thrones once then. I saw that, yeah yeah, yeah. He just seems like a good hearted guy. I don’t think it has anything to do with his body or his face or his hair. This is your wife’s birthday present? Yeah, she doesn’t know about it. Okay, this is a surprise? That’s good to know. So don’t tell her. So what’s the objective of this? It’s to make her want me. when was the last time you were laid? I was laid? Yeah. When’s the last time you- By her? Yeah, when was the last time she laid you? Well first of all, let me clarify. I’m only laid by her. What is the correct verbage? She only lays me? You only lay each other. We only lay each other. Okay. And that goes well, and it happens often. So why am I here? I think that if she could maybe be fooled into the idea that me and Jason Momoa are the same person Okay. it would just simplify a lot of things. I don’t know Photoshop. I’m not a magician. All you gotta do is take pictures and then we’ll give it to somebody who works for us and they’ll make it look right. So you just need me to take pictures. Yeah. And it’s going to be like the first blog in quite some time. So you also need to really bring your a-game. So people would be like, “that was worth the wait”. Listen, I was hesitant to even bring this up because by me asking there’s kind of like a baked in compliment. Are you asking me to participate in a thirst trap video? Is that what’s happening here? It depends on how thirsty somebody is. Okay, So let’s see what we’re working with here. Okay. [Jenna] – Yeah. Classic photo where he was wearing a tank top inside the ceremony. [Link] – Okay. [Rhett] – Okay, keep going. What else have you got? Oh, okay. [Jenna] – Aquaman. [Rhett] – Okay. [Link] – There’s a lot of challenges with this one. I mean, I’m not talking about the mountains. [Rhett] – By mountains do you mean his pecs? [Link] – All right, I’ll do my best. Dang. [Rhett] – This is more recent. [Jenna] – Yeah. [Rhett] – Little pink? Okay, I can do pink. I can do pink. I’m not afraid. Not afraid of pink. [Link] – Kahl Drogo! [Rhett] – Okay. [Link] – All right. [Rhett] – All right, yeah. Then I gotta to get wet again. [Link] – I’ve got a garden hose. [Rhett] – Okay, so. [Link] – I’ve seen this photo [Rhett] – Five photos, five poses. If I’ma go through with this, you have to be willing to do the same thing for me. Who’s your celebrity hall pass? Keith urban. [Jenna] – So first up for the day is the Emmy looks. Do you want the green? Cause we have a corridor green. [Rhett] – Okay. [Jenna] – Or do you want the velvet look? And we have- [Rhett] – I feel like, in Photoshop, they could actually make this look green and that texture is going to be really hard to recreate. So I think I’d go with that. [Jenna] – And this tank top under it. [Rhett] – Okay. And now, is there any accessories or anything that he’s got? [Jenna] – Yeah, He has on a chunky bracelet. [Rhett] – Nice, turquoise. My wife likes that. [Jenna] – The only cone necklace I found it was a tiny cone, so I made a cone that’s a bit larger than his cone. [Rhett] – I see that. [Link] – What is that? [Jenna] – It’s like a little speck thing that I taped paper around and then painted silver. [Rhett] – Okay, you know, I’ll take it. [Link] – Alright, throw it on. We’ve gotta get to photographising. [Rhett] – All right. [Link] – What do you think about Jason Momoa? I mean, he’s not a pretty to everybody. [Jenna] – He’s pretty to me. [Link] – Okay. Ready for the first photo? [Rhett] – Yeah, I’m ready. [Link] – Okay, More cowbell. Okay, so the sleeves are a little bit short on this. Okay, I can maybe do this. I don’t know if I can pull off the same hair thing but I try to kind of get like a middle part going. But the real challenge for me is the smile because I don’t really have a smile in my repertoire of faces. [Link] – Yeah, He has teeth. [Rhett] – Yeah, he has front teeth. [Link] – All right, so let me see your best smile. [Rhett] – Have to really. [Link] – Yeah, yeah, yeah. It’s like, he’s laughing. Tilt your head, ah, not that far. Split the difference. Okay, more teeth! [Rhett] – That’s all I got. That’s all the teeth I got. Can we Photoshop teeth? [Link] – That’s not my department. [Rhett] – I think that would be cheating. I don’t think we should Photoshop teeth. We can change the jacket color, but we cannot Photoshop teeth. [Link] – Feeling like we’re ready. Big smile! Three, two. Hold your hand down a little. [Rhett] – My eyebrows doing the right thing? [Link] – Yeah, and be legitimately happy. Three- [Rhett] – I can’t be happy when I look like this. [Link] – Three, two, one, happy! [Rhett] – Do I look great? [Link] – Your hand looks right. So I’ve got this photo and then I’ve got this photo. That one’s pretty good right? You see? [Rhett] – Yeah. [Link] – I mean, that’s as good as you’re going to get. I think we have this one. [Rhett] – Okay. Jenna. [Jenna] – Yes? [Rhett] – what did you find for Aquaman? I found these really great long sleeve shirts that have the tattoos and the jeans, so you don’t even have to wear jeans. I got real high hopes for this. Oh yeah. Let me look at myself. Wow! Jenna you have outdone yourself! The thing about his hair, it’s actually a little bit thinner and a little bit longer. [Link] – It’s not quite long enough to hide the fact that there’s a collar to your tattoos. We’ll figure it out, out here. [Link] – Okay, come on out. Hey, I’m Jason Momoa. Aloha. [Link] – Now I’m noticing a bit of a problem here. The side of your muscle shirt is white. They’ll just take that out in- [Link] They need to Photoshop out the white with the green. So yeah. The white will go away with the green. [Link] – Look at my hand up here to the left. We need to see some top teeth but we don’t have to see bottom teeth. This is the part I didn’t want to do. This part of your mouth will be up. I don’t think I can do that. [Link] – I can see if I, we can, Mike can Photoshop my finger out. Let me hold this up. Don’t even worry about holding that up. Now just be happy. Like actually laugh. Ha ha ha ha [Link] – And I’m gonna let this go and I want teeth- He doesn’t seem like he’s smiling that much. [Link] – He is smiling. Hey, I can tell he’s happy. See? He’s happy. [Rhett] – Oh, he is kinda happy. [Link] – I’m gonna take a photo. Three, two. Open the mouth a little more and say Aqua. Aqua. [Link] – like say it and kind of laugh to yourself. Aqua. [Link] – Okay. Aqua, makes man happy. Aqua makes man happy. [Link] – Aqua makes man happy. Aqua makes man happy. Man. [Link] – It’s exhausting trying to do something- I couldn’t imagine being in a whole movie as Aquaman [Link] – Okay, let’s take a look. If I see if I zoom in on this. [Rhett] – It looks like a head was put on top of someone. [Link] – The arms are pretty good. I think this is great. I mean, if you saw these side by side, you might begin to forget who’s who. [Link] – He looks a lot more comfortable than you. But I think it’s because you’re wearing a shirt. He just has muscles. [Rhett] – Yeah. You know, I do what I can. [Link] – Pink outfit, green screen set up outside. Okay. [Rhett] – Somebody asks for Jason Momoa? [Link] – This is quite an interesting pose he’s got going on here. He’s holding his own hair up, he’s holding his left hand, in the air. It’s like he’s holding up a pipe, like an invisible pipe. Kind of like that. Let’s see, let’s bring this in. All right, so he’s got some hair that’s… Alright, you need more hair in your hand. There you go. That’s an approximation. I’m also noticing your, your beads are… [Rhett] – Bigger. [Link] – You’re compensating for something with the beads. [Rhett] – Jenna made this necklace. Handmade. [Link] – Seriously? The more I look at it, I actually think that your necklace is the same size. It’s just that he’s that much bigger than you. [Rhett] – Okay, All right, well okay. I’ll take that. [Link] – Let’s get down to business here. Put your right knee out. Go up on your big toe almost. Alright, we want your nose turned a little bit this way. Your eyes up there and then hand out like even more. Pull your hair a little bit to the right and down and back. Hold your left hand up more. Pipe is higher in the air. Yes, yes, yes. Three, two, one. That’s nice. That’s nice. [Rhett] – Oh, wow. [Link] – What do you mean, wow? I did a good job, right? [Rhett] – Yeah you did. [Link] – Right direction. [Rhett] – We look good, me and JM. [Link] – I think when you’re coming up with a pose there’s a certain level of owning it. Then when you’re trying to replicate it, there’s an uncertainty and a struggle that you never seem it to fully disappear. [Rhett] – I look more like I’m holding a pipe that he does. Which I think makes mine a little bit better. He looks like he was just stretching but I really went with a pipe grasp. [Link] – Alright, You said pipe three too many times. Go change. This isn’t awkward at all. It’s just a shirtless dude on the toilet. Getting painted by our assistant. [Rhett] – I’m sorry [Link] – He’s not sick. [Rhett] – I was doing the scene, where he gets sick. And he almost dies! [Link] – I believe almost is an understatement. [Rhett] – Oh, he does. [Link] – Have you watched it or not? [Rhett] – Light good mmhm hmm. My beard is not long enough to get fully pulled in. [Rhett] – Holy moly [Jenna] – Startled me. [Link] – Just stepped on the door hook. I’ll tell you we are on to something here. We want you to be facing, like rotate that way with your entire body a little bit. Tilt the top of your head to the left, your left shoulder. Now make all your muscles bigger. [Link] – That’s better. [Rhett] – That’s all I got. [Link] – Okay, I’m going to take a photo here. Three, two, one. three, two, one. I think we’ve got it. I think I’ve done the best I can, yeah. Let’s take a look. All right, so play this back. That’s pretty great, right? [Rhett] – Yeah, it is. [Link] – Alright that’s good. [Rhett] – Okay. [Link] – Now take the shower. [Rhett] – And this is what they call a wet Momoa. It’s almost like a mimosa and this is the one I’m most excited about. Pretty much, you know, spitting image right? [Link] – I just don’t know how to respond to those things. I really don’t. I just don’t want you to start thinking that you look like Jason Momoa. I’m just, I just don’t. [Rhett] – Well, I don’t always, you know. [Link] – The less clothes you have in this exercise, the more uncomfortable I am. I just feel like we’re back at the thirst trap thing. I’m just not comfortable. [Rhett] – This isn’t about being beautiful. This is about looking like Jason Momoa. Eh. Okay. I got, I got your laptop pretty wet. Here you go. This is what, Hey, listen. This is what happens in those wet T-shirt contests at Myrtle Beach, man. We always wondered how, how the girls got their shirts wet. [Link] – I think that they’re in it when it gets wet. Why? You’re wet, the shirt’s not wet. Why didn’t you just put the shirt on? [Rhett] – Because I wanted to see how hard it was to put a wet t-shirt on. [Link] – Okay. [Rhett] – That’s the real contest. Is can you get this shirt on now that it’s wet? Okay. Are his hands in the shot? [Link] – His left hand is it’s like scratching his… Yeah. A little further out. The wetness of the shirt… [Rhett] – It needs to be wetter. I’ll get wet over here and I’ll come back. I’m doing it for the art! I’m doing it for my wife! I’m doing this for a nice person. [Jenna] – Do a flip. Yes. [Link] – I don’t love what this might be doing for his ego. [Rhett] – Is this what Momoa had to do? [Link] – I just feel like maybe this should have just been between you and your wife. Why am I involved? [Rhett] – Hey man. [Link] – Why? Why? Why are they involved? [Rhett] – I want it to be, you know, I wanted you to be a part of this. [Link] – Don’t encourage him in the comments. That’s all I’m asking. So you’re going to have to put your left hand a little lower. Actually, pull the shirt down to make that- Yeah, yeah, yeah. And now just grab it right here. And then bring your thumb up but don’t show me the hole. [Rhett] – Don’t show me the hole. [Link] – Okay. [Rhett] – That’s why I got this towel on. [Link] – You need to be genuinely happy and you need to bring that left shoulder up. Smile really big. I want to see all types of teeth. Three, two, one. I just want you to smile really big. I’m getting a close up of just you smiling so we can Photoshop some teeth in there. One, two, three. [Rhett] – Aquaman. Aqua makes man happy. [Link] – Alright I think we got it. Alright, let me see. [Rhett] – Oh yeah, we look good. Just come in right out of the ocean. Look like they been body surfing together. [Link] – Are you good? Are you done? My wife sits in a beach chair on the beach and watches us. [Link] – Listen man, I’ve kind of reached my limit. [Rhett] – Hey, I got my five pics, man. [Link] – I don’t want any credit on this job. [Rhett] – Okay. The moment of truth has arrived. I’m about to show Jessie the finished product. And I got mythical crew member, Zach, to edit these images and approximate where Momoa himself was. I think he did a great job. And now I made a book. Let’s see what she thinks. Hello Jessie. [Jessie] – Hi. Happy birthday. I’m nervous. You see the name? I do. Could you just read it out loud? It’s a book. It says Mc mom oa McMomoa But I didn’t know if you wanted me to highlight the mom in the middle No, It’s not about mom. It aint about mom. It’s about daddy. Should I read it out loud? Yeah You seem like you’re stressed. I’m a little nervous of what you’re going to think about it. Just read it. I know you like Jason Momoa. I mean this guy’s cute, but who’s this guy? Well, that’s me. Can I keep going? Keep going I don’t mind. I know you don’t because you’re secure. That’s right Very secure. That’s right keep going. This outfit is so cute. I want to borrow it. I see that you’re looking on my side more than his side. I am. I mean, this is good, but this is art. In fact, I sort of get it. You get me. I had to get pretty wet for this one. The resemblance is uncanny. Yeah. Well, do you start to maybe think that we might be the same person? It did cross my mind. Okay. But as you can see you have your very own McMomoa, available to you at all times. Yeah, Yep. That’s me. You see what happened there? It’s a shirt you can buy, makes you look like Aquaman. Do I get to keep this? It’s your gift! You can look at it whenever you want to and you can look at the real thing whenever you want as well. You like that? Say that out loud. Do to me as you please. Yeah, there’s more. Kahl Drogo might be one of my favorite characters. You like that? It’s cute. I feel like I need to say something about the fur flap that y’all are both wearing. Hmm, to cover something. And that’s it. Happy birthday, Jessie. What do you think? I love it.
