Jason Momoais creating his ownSlumberland.
On Sunday, the actor, 43, showed off an adorable pig he brought home after filming the fantasy movie, which is slated to hit Netflix on Nov. 18.
“This is why I can’t work with animals. I want to bring them home. Wild and feral like his pops,” wrote Momoa in one of two Instagram videos that showed off the pig.
In the first video, the Hawaii native jokes about calling his new pet “Lau Lau” or “Manapua.” Both names refer to popular Hawaiian dishes that, according to the Food Network, are respectivelyporkwith butterfish wrapped in taro leaves and steamedbeef buns.
“You want to come to theSlumberlandpremiere?” he asks the pig in the second video. “We can paint your nails pink and put a little top hat on you.”
His mom, who can be heard in the background, tells him: “I think that’d be a little over the top since you just got him,” to which Momoa quickly responds, “Well, mom, I’m kind of over the top.”
