Jason Momoa has been back home in his native Hawaii filming his new TV series Chief of War, revealing on Jimmy Kimmel Live that he predicted the recent volcano eruptions.
The 44-year-old Honolulu native appeared on the ABC talk show on Tuesday, with Kimmel admitting the last time he went to Hawaii he met, ‘like 13 people who told me they were your cousin,’ as Momoa responded, ‘They probably are.’
When asked if he was in Hawaii when the recent volcano eruptions happened, telling Kimmel he ‘had a feeling’ that both Mauna Loa and Kilauea were going to erupt.
‘Yeah. Mauna Loa and kilauea went off, I think the first time in written history, two volcanos And it happened one day later,’ Momoa admitted.
‘I was actually directing the finale. We were on the lava fields. And I’d said at the very beginning of shooting, “The volcanos are going to go off when we do this.” Everyone didn’t believe me. I’m like, “it’s going to go off,”‘ Momoa admitted.
