We know two things for sure about actor Jason Momoa, he's married to one of the most beautiful women in the world and he knows how to make an entrance.
At the premier for Aquaman in Los Angeles on Wednesday, Momoa turned a normally predictable red carpet walk with his wife Lilakoi Moon, who still acts under her birth name Lisa Bonet, and children, Lola Iolani and Nakoa-Wolf, into a cross-cultural event.
Along with fellow cast member Temuera Morrison, who is of Maori descent, Momoa led a group of men and his children in a surprise Tangaroa Ararau haka.

Twitter was swept up in the excitement and feeling the love.
You can also spot Temuera Morrison, who plays Aquaman’s father, in the group.— Walt (@Walt)1544668606.0
