In the movie, many viewers thought Momoa was 100% nude, but in fact, he had to wear pink underwear instead of nude to cover his sensitive parts. “It’s very big and pink. I don’t know what to do without laughing!” – Emilia recalls.

He also often apologized to Emilia after each scene and was the one who brought a towel or asked the crew to take care of her every time the scene ended.
Use stuntmen
