During his appearance on The Kelly Clarkson Show on Monday, December 18, Jason Momoa, 44, had Kelly Clarkson blushing as he discussed his upcoming movie, Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom. The conversation also included praise from Clarkson, 41, for Momoa's relationship with his co-star Patrick Wilson, both on and off screen.
Clarkson exclaimed, "You've got to love dancing!" as he pulled up a video of Momoa and Wilson, 50, dancing together. In the clip, Momoa was shown straddling a trident and dancing energetically. Wilson then joined in the fun, showcasing his own dance moves alongside his co-star.

“Do you love dancing?” she asked the actor.
"Oh yeah," responded Momoa. "I enjoy shaking it, if you catch my drift."
In another part of the interview, Momoa once more showcased his alluring dance moves in a behind-the-scenes video while preparing for Aquaman 2.
In the video, he lept onto a saddle and started moving his hips back-and-forth.
“What training was that for?” Clarkson said as she questioned the actor’s dirty moves.
“That’s the technique for increasing speed,” Momoa revealed. “To get the animal to move faster, you have to really push it.” He then showed how to “ease off” by placing his hands on the imaginary animal’s back and pushing gently. “There’s no steering wheel!” he added.

Clarkson's laughter echoed as she transitioned the conversation, "There was an amazing Aquaman suit in this one. I really dig it," she said, eliciting a laugh from Momoa. "Did you catch that smooth transition for daytime? I wasn't sure how to segue," she joked.
In addition to rigorous physical training, Momoa had to maintain a somewhat relaxed diet while preparing for his role as the superhero.
"I don't bother counting calories," he told E! News earlier this month. "I simply enjoy eating ... everything."
The actor went on to say, "I'm burning so many calories from constant movement and long work days. I just eat and fuel my body. I work hard and play hard, and that's how I do it."

Momoa revealed that he doesn't focus on maintaining a strict diet and workout routine for looks, but rather to avoid injury on set. "You have to be prepared," he explained. "Wearing a 40-pound suit requires being able to move. The physical demands can put a lot of strain on your knees. So, I do it to stay safe." Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom will be released in theaters on Friday, December 22.
