Jason Momoa’s pet, a real pig, failed to accompany him to the premiere of his new movie “Slumberland,” which the actor is promoting these days, reports CNN.
Momoa arrived at the event in Los Angeles on Wednesday wearing what looked like purple pajamas and told “Entertainment Tonight” that she hoped to arrive with the pig, but in the end he stayed home. She said she wanted to take him to the red carpet with her.
“Oh, he’s in Hawaii! He’s a wild pig, so I couldn’t take him with me,” said Momoa, who posed with a soft toy instead of her pet. “I really wanted to, but I think it would have been pretty awkward,” she added.
In “Slumberland”, Momoa plays an eccentric outlaw named Flip who guides an orphan girl (Marlow Barkley) and her toy pig through a world of dreams. The child always hopes to see his father again.
Momoa revealed earlier this month that she adopted a pig after shooting with it. “That’s why I can’t work with animals. I want to take them home. Wild and ferocious like her father to her,” she wrote on Instagram.
Momoa is still torn between two names to call her pig: Lau Lau and Manapua.
He also has a donkey and two half wolves.
“Slumberland” will be streamed on Netflix starting November 18th.

Meanwhile, it has become clear that Momoa has decided to stop wearing clothes and prefers to go almost naked.
He told Jimmy Kimmel on his show. The host took a moment to show Momoa and the audience of him a photo the 43-year-old actor recently Instagram shared of himself in a beige thong-like dress while fishing.
“It’s a traditional malo what Hawaiians wear,” Momoa told Kimmel, explaining that she began dressing this way as she prepared to film her next Apple TV + series, Chief of War.
Kimmel joked that the fish in the ocean must feel betrayed when they see Aquaman himself fishing and then asked, “Do you feel comfortable in that suit too?”
“Oh my God, yes. I actually don’t even like wearing clothes anymore,” Momoa replied. “I wear it every day. I wear it all the time,” added the environment-focused charmer.
