Washington DC: ‘Game of Thrones’ star Jason Momoa recently proved that he will do anything for his art, including getting up close and personal with a nine-foot Kodiak grizzly bear.
###
Speaking on Apple Music’s Beats 1 show, Momoa explained that to prepare for a fight scene in Episode 2 of Apple TV+’s new series See, he had his furry foe eat an Oreo cookie straight out of his mouth, reported People.
###
“I had to train to fight a grizzly bear. You’re going to watch it. It was a Kodiak bear. It stood nine-foot-tall,” the 40-year-old actor said.
######
“You have to get it slowly close to you, and be able to interact with it,” he added.
###
Momoa said that while some fans might compare his bear fight with Leonardo DiCaprio’s famous scene from the ‘Revenant’, he fought a real bear without the help of CGI.
###
He promised that once the series was released, he’d give fans proof of his kiss with the bear: “Once the episode comes out, I’ll put it on my Instagram, when I put a cookie in my mouth. And then he eats it up.”
###
“You see my face with the little cookie, and then this massive head comes into the frame and takes [it] out of my mouth, which is like, Why was Jason Momoa’s face eaten off? Cause he tried to feed a bear with a cookie.”
###
Momoa fulfilled his promise and shared a video of the encounter on his Instagram on Friday
######
In the clip, Momoa can be seen in costume placing an Oreo (it appears to be a blonde one) into his mouth and then kneeling right in front of the bear’s face.
###
Someone off-camera can be heard saying, “We have to make this quick”, and the big bear snatches the cookie out of Momoa’s mouth right on cue.
###
After the slobbery snack exchange, the Game of Thrones star stands up and wipes his mouth, laughing.
###
“The things we do for our ART. SEE. Is out. Please watch on Apple TV+,” he wrote in the caption. “The bear needs to know your scent. So here’s my cookie kisses the big guy. Love you tag. Aloha Baba Voss.”
###
Momoa’s character is Baba Voss, a leader in a futuristic community in which everyone is blind. Alfre Woodard and Sylvia Hoeks also star the series.
