Hollywood star Jason Momoa has reminisced about a road trip he took around Ireland in search of "the greatest pint of Guinness" during a break from filming Game of Thrones, saying he remembers "so many wonderful people and stories."
The Aquaman actor posted a throwback photo on his Instagram showing himself smiling, wrapped up in blankets on air mattresses in the back of a van.
Momoa explained that the photo was taken during a break from filming his role as Khal Drogo in the first season of the HBO fantasy epic Game of Thrones in 2011, and that he and best friend Brian Andrew Mendoza had been "too broke" to fly home to the US so instead decided to drive around Ireland.
