The actor shared his reaction to the snowflakes on his birthday as he made his way to a hot tub in New Zealand in a pumped up Instagram video.

When you think of your birthday you probably reflexively also think of the season in which it happens, right?

A December birthday makes you think of winter and Christmas and cold weather. A July birthday is all summer and sunshine and heat.


But imagine if that all suddenly switched around entirely. It would probably make quite the impression, right? Such was the case with actor Jason Momoa's recent birthday on August 1.

Aquaman himself recently celebrated the big 4-4, but unlike all 43 previous birthdays, this one happened in New Zealand--where it is the dead of winter instead of the dog days of summer. The seasons in the northern and southern hemispheres run opposite of each other.

And boy, was it ever an experience for the Hawaiian born actor.

As he shared in an Instagram video, it actually snowed on Momoa's birthday down in Aotearoa—and not just a few flurries. It like *snowed* snowed.

His video showed big fat flakes falling and collecting on all the trees surrounding the house he filmed the video at, just like here in parts of the states in January or February.

The bizarre change-up from the usual weather an American would celebrate an August birthday in was not lost on Momoa, who exclaimed "Happy birthday to me, what the hell is going on‽‽" as he made his way to a hot tub.

He went on to say:

“Look at that, August 1st. Never in my life — 44 years — did I ever get in a hot tub and it’s snowing baby.”

He then gave his fans a birthday "cheers" with a bottle of his Mananalu Water brand.

Momoa shared in another video on his Instagram profile that he has been visiting Queenstown, New Zealand on the country's south island. Some of the country's most famous natural wonders are located nearby, including The Remarkables, a mountain range famous for its ski slopes and alpine vistas.

Momoa's fans loved the enthusiasm he showed for his once-in-a-lifetime snowy August birthday.

MAGA Melts Down After 'Woke' Pope Leo Urges The World To 'Search Always For Peace'

MAGA followers were not happy with Pope Leo XIV and accused him of being "woke" after he, in remarks to reporters, implored "people of good will" to "search always for peace."

The Pope spoke out after President Donald Trump insisted that God supports his war on Iran and declared—before a provisional ceasefire was announced—that "a whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again" ahead of a deadline to bomb Iran’s power plants and bridges that legal scholars and world leaders have said would constitute war crimes.

CNN aired a fitting montage after President Donald Trump launched a broad attack on several conservative media figures—Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, Candace Owens, and Alex Jones—accusing them of being “stupid,” attention-seeking, and out of step with his political movement.

Carlson urged U.S. military aides to refuse any orders involving the killing of Iranian civilians. Owens, formerly of Turning Point USA, condemned the administration as “satanic” and called on Congress to remove what she described as the “Mad King Trump.”

For social media influencers, it's important for them to be as discreet as they can be about their living location and frequent places that they visit, because otherwise their followers and viewers could begin to piece together where they go and where they live.
