Momoa Reacts to Painting: 'Is That a Topless Zendaya?'
25 Apr
Summary
- Anya Taylor-Joy painted Jason Momoa, but Jack Black thought it was Zendaya.
- Jason Momoa initially guessed 'Aquaman' when shown the painting.
- Momoa found it hard to recognize himself without his signature beard.

Anya Taylor-Joy's painting of Jason Momoa, created during a promotional event, led to amusing mix-ups. While promoting 'The Super Mario Galaxy Movie,' Taylor-Joy painted her 'Dune: Part Three' co-star. Actor Jack Black initially mistook the portrait for Zendaya, describing it as a 'topless Zendaya.'
More recently, Jason Momoa was shown the painting and, upon being asked to identify the subject, hesitantly guessed 'Aquaman.' He also noted the artwork's lack of facial hair, which is characteristic of his usual appearance. This detail is particularly relevant as Momoa's appearance in the 'Dune: Part Three' trailer also lacks his prominent beard.
Upon learning that Anya Taylor-Joy was the artist, Momoa expressed delight. His reaction became even more jovial when he heard Jack Black’s Zendaya comparison. Momoa is anticipated to appear in several upcoming projects, including 'Supergirl,' 'Street Fighter,' and 'Dune: Part Three.'
