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 Senator Slammed After Scolding Americans For Whining About High Gas Prices Amid Iran War—And Wow

Kansas Republican Senator Roger Marshall chastised Americans for complaining about high gas prices and insisted they should consider that their "national security is even more important" than whatever blows are being dealt to their wallets at the gas pump.

Consumer prices are up 3.3% compared to a year ago, largely fueled by a surge in energy costs. The energy index jumped 10.9% in a single month as oil and gas prices climbed sharply. Amid the Iran war and the U.S. blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, oil has risen back to around $100 a barrel, pushing gasoline prices up by a record 25%.

Kid Goes Viral After Leaving Sweet Note On Plane For The Person Sitting In Their Seat On The Next Flight

A lot is going on in our world right now that gives us pause, and some of us might feel our hearts breaking under the weight of all of it. That makes acts of kindness, no matter how small they are, more important than ever before.

X user @oatmilkanie shouted out an unidentified child who clearly got the memo when they boarded a plane and discovered that the child had written a note for the next person to sit in their seat, directly on the paper nausea bag that's snuggled in the seat pocket in front of the passenger's knees.

Woman Creeped All The Way Out After Finding Hidden Door In The Ceiling Of Her Airbnb

A lot of us already cannot sleep well when we're visiting someone else's home or staying in a hotel, because we're uncomfortable in a different bed and maybe even a little creeped out in the unusual space.

But discovering a whole other room with a creepy door would quickly transform a space from a rental to something out of a horror movie real quick for anybody.
