Jason Momoa has quite a reputation in Hollywood as a sweetheart. Although his role as Aquaman does not reflect this sentiment, his recent casting in the Minecraft live-action film and adorably psychotic character in Fast X showcase just how precious he can be. From his interviews and fan interactions, he has formed a beloved sort of image for himself, being overtly masculine but extremely kind-hearted and thoughtful.

However, it would seem that this ‘goody two shoes’ image seems to be slipping through his grasp as he knows it. Recently, respected YouTuber, Valkyrae, revealed an interaction that she witnessed between the actor and a crew member on the set of his upcoming film. To say that he does not look good coming out of it would be an understatement.
Jason Momoa—Difficult To Work With?
During a stream with Jasontheween, Valkyrae was asked to reveal her worst celebrity or Twitch streamer interaction. Interestingly enough, she was quick to mention Jason Momoa as her top candidate. Starting by explaining that she has a cameo in the Minecraft movie, she explained that she had quite an awkward encounter with the Aquaman actor on the set of the project.
I saw him mistreat some of the crew, and it was pretty disappointing, it was after a very intense scene so maybe he was still in character…

The streamer explained that she ended up witnessing an interaction that he was having with some of the crew members on the project, where he was not happy with what they were doing, or not doing. Valkyrae explained that something was not getting done right and he seemed to be quite irritated by how things were unfolding.
He was just really mad at them that they weren’t doing something right, like setting up the shot, he was just really angry & yelling. I was like, this is not a good work environment, I would not be happy working under those conditions.

Although she tried to give him the benefit of the doubt and state that he could have been in character when that was happening, she mentioned that she would not want to work in such an environment.
Jason Momoa Under Fire?
Such a report about Jason Momoa is bound to make his fans extremely surprised. Ever since his time in Game of Thrones, celebrities and fans alike have attested to his personality. Audiences collectively agree on the fact that he is a gift sent to humanity, being caring towards his co-stars, being kind towards his fans, and being just a bundle of joy.

Upon learning about Valkyrae’s interaction with the actor, fans had a series of different reactions. Since this would not be the first time that the world got deceived by a celebrity, some immediately believed that Momoa was a bad person at heart.
Valkyrae should understand at times one can have a bad day in the office..You can’t condem or pass judgement based on that day.Have we seen any of his staff or crew member coming up complaining of mistreatment? Let’s be factual at times..
At the same time, there were many fans who looked at the audience from a more subjective perspective. They pointed out that she only saw part of an interaction after being on set for a brief duration. They also mentioned that since she is a streamer and not actively in the film industry, she may be unfamiliar with how things are done.

With this in mind, many decided to give Momoa the benefit of the doubt, mentioning that there could be a variety of reasons why his anger towards the crew could be just. Regardless of whether someone is a celebrity or not, if things are not getting done right in their workspace, they completely have the right to be upset about it.
A Minecraft Movie is set to release in theatres on 4th April 2025.
