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.

Stephen Colbert Makes Somber Plea To Americans In Wake Of Charlie Kirk's Death

Late-night host Stephen Colbert had a somber message for Americans as he addressed the assassination of far-right activist Charlie Kirk, stressing that "political violence only leads to more political violence."

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
