Why Jason Momoa's Lavender Impala in Fast X is the Ultimate Villainous Statement

Jason Momoa, the actor who plays Dante Reyes in Fast X, has revealed the reason behind his character's purple Impala. Dante Reyes, the son of Hernan Reyes from Fast Five, is seeking revenge against Dominic Toretto for the loss of his father and family fortune. In the street race against Toretto, Reyes stands out with his bright clothing and purple car.

In an exclusive interview with Screen Rant, Momoa shared that he personally chose purple as the color for his character's car and was adamant about it. He also shared that this decision was driven by a playful inside joke with his mother, who despises the color purple. Momoa himself loves the color and found it fitting for his character's flashy personality. Check out Momoa's full interview below, where he shares more about his experience filming Fast X.

In a recent interview, Jason Momoa revealed his love for the color lavender and the story behind it. Despite initial resistance from the production team, Momoa was able to convince them to let him have a lavender car for a project he was working on.

The reason behind his love for lavender is actually rooted in a playful family dynamic. Momoa's mother despises the color, which makes it all the more enjoyable for him to use it. He even has a special nickname for it - Yaya Lavender. Momoa's love for the color extends to his fashion choices as well, with all his nails done in shades of pink and purple. The thought of his mother cringing at the sight brings him joy and adds a playful element to their relationship.

What Yaya Lavender Says About Jason Momoa's Fast X Character

The purple Impala in "Sweet Girl" serves as a distinguishing factor between Dante Reyes and Dominic Toretto. While Toretto is known for his sleek and understated muscle cars, Reyes opts for a more flamboyant approach with his choice of a brightly colored vehicle. The purple Impala not only adds to the character's overall aesthetic but also speaks to the passion that actor Jason Momoa had for this role.

Momoa's insistence on the car being purple demonstrates his commitment to the character and his involvement in every aspect of the film's creation. The fact that he chose a color that he knew would annoy his mother also adds a playful and personal touch to the character. Momoa's portrayal of Reyes is reminiscent of the Joker, with his unhinged humor and outlandish wardrobe, and the purple Impala only adds to this eccentricity.
