Fans of Aquaman's Jason Momoa were confused and concerned after the actor posted a photo of himself on Instagram yesterday, positioned with his head inside of an MRI machine.
Momoa made light of the situation, comparing addressing his head to making an omelet.
Momoa captioned the photo:
"You got to break some eggs to make an omelet."
"Aloha, J. Thankful for my ohana (family) and friends."

A source later confirmed Momoa was "OK" and completing the MRI was just a "precaution."
Fans and fellow celebrities, however, were still worried.

This unfortunately appears to be a trending issue with the actor, as there have been multiple incidents recently that left his fanbase worried about his health.
Back in March, Momoa admitted while on the red carpet, getting ready to enter the Oscars, he had surgery just the day before to address a hernia. The actor stated it was due to the final stages of filming the sequel to Aquaman, in which he was "throwing bodies around" and injured himself.
Just earlier this month, on May 14, Momoa addressed a torn bicep in an Instagram video.
In it, Momoa demonstrated how he had to complete bicep curls differently per arm after the injury.

This appears to be a trend that will be ongoing for the actor.
Momoa traditionally performs in action-packed films and is known for doing most, if not all, of his own stunt work, and taking chances while doing so. Most recently, Fast X of the Fast and Furious franchise completed its filming and Momoa described a scene in which there was a police car chase and he was on a bike with no helmet.
There have been rumors from previous films, as well, such as the first Aquaman, when the much-loved actor took some chances for the sake of cinematography and, of course, fun.
Momoa is one of those actors who exudes love and appreciation for life, and an adrenaline-filled approach to life, at that.
It's one of many reasons fans follow the actor from film to film and why they've been grateful no injury has been too much for him.
