Jason Momoa starred in an ad for Rocket Mortgage that aired during Sunday's Super Bowl. In the commercial, the "Game of Thrones" star takes off his "protective cover" when he gets home. The muscular actor sheds his muscles and long hair to become a bald and skinny guitarist. And his wife, Lisa Bonet, also has a brief appearance. Many fans found the ad amusing, while others were shocked.
At the beginning of the commercial, Momoa is seen at the wheel of his car, pulling into the driveway of his house. "What does my home mean to me? It's my sanctuary. It's the only place I can put my protective case," says Momoa. When the 'Aquaman' actor enters his home, he does what most people do - kicks off his shoes and sheds unnecessary layers of clothing. "Here I can relax and feel completely comfortable in my own skin," he says. In a hilarious twist, Momoa removes layers from his arm and ab muscles, and then his long hair too. Bald, he sits on the couch and plays a guitar. "Here I can be myself," says Momoa. "And that feels damn good." At the end of the commercial, Momoa's wife, Lisa Bonet, acts as a motivational personal trainer while the actor struggles to lift a bar without weights.
Shortly after the spot aired, numerous fans took to Twitter to express their reactions, with many seeming to find the commercial and the "at home" version of Momoa entertaining, albeit shocking.
