Jason Momoa has a โman-crushโ on Oscar Issac.
The 41-year-old actor โ who has children Lola, 13, and Nakoa-Wolf, 12, with wife Lisa Bonet โ had a great time working on the upcoming blockbuster Dune because it had such a great cast, including the Star Wars: The Force Awakens star and his โdreamโ co-star Javier Bardem.
He said: โTo work with Javier on this epic film and also with Josh BrolinโI love Brolin! And Rebecca Ferguson killed it, and Oscar Isaac is my new man-crush. Iโm just so pumped for the world to see it.โ
Jason โ who plays Duncan Idaho in the long-awaited movie โ was particularly thrilled to have so much screen time with Timothรฉe Chalamet.
He told Menโs Journal magazine: โThe coolest thing about my character is that heโs the Han Soloโthe swashbuckling rebel who stirs the pot. And heโs really close to Timmyโs character.โ
But the action star was just delighted to be involved in the futuristic saga.
He said: โBro! Besides โGame of Thronesโ, just to be in this worldโitโs f****** beautiful!โ
Jason hasnโt seen the 1984 adaptation of the classic novel made by David Lynch and chose not to watch it as part of his preparations.
He said: โI grew up with a single mother who raised me on โGone With the Windโ.
โShe never let me watch movies with people getting their heads lopped off or joining in orgies. My preparation was more about spending time with Denny and spending time in my imagination to find those places in myself where I could play Idahoโs character.โ
The actorโs son was excited by the film โ because he got to take home some prop weaponry.
Jason said: โHe loves all the costumes and props. We watched the screening of โDuneโ together, then I gave him the prop swords from the movieโhe already broke them.โ
