Jason Momoa has a new roommate — and he looks a little different than what you’d expect.
The “Aquaman” star revealed he adopted a wild pig after meeting the animal on the set of his new Netflix project, “Slumberland.”
The self-described animal lover couldn’t help but take the pig home with him, telling fans he’s narrowed possible names down to two options: Lau Lau and Manapua — both popular Hawaiian dishes often containing pork.
“This is why I can’t work with animals. I want to bring them home. Wild and feral like his pops,” he wrote on Instagram alongside a video of him and the pig, which he ultimately called Manapua.
In the sweet video, the “Game of Thrones” actor, 43, asked Manapua if he wanted to be his plus one at the “Slumberland” premiere.
“We can paint your nails pink and put a little top hat on you,” Momoa told the pig.

Off-camera, the actor’s mom Coni Momoa could be heard chiming in, “I think that’d be a little over the top since you just got him.”
“Well, mom, I’m kind of over the top,” Momoa responded.
Momoa’s latest onscreen venture follows a little girl named Nemo, played by Marlow Barkley, whose stuffed pig toy comes alive at night. Momoa’s genie-like character helps the girl travel through her dreams.
The “Braven” actor has been outspoken about his love of animals, telling Ellen DeGeneres in 2019 that he shares a donkey, two “half-wolves,” a ball python, and a dog with his ex-wife Lisa Bonet.
Momoa announced in a since-deleted January Instagram post that he and Bonet, 54, decided to call it quits after 17 years and more than four years of marriage together.
The pair share daughter Lola, 14, and son Nakoa-Wolf, 13, together.
