Celebrity Buzz with Jason Momoa and Mathew Mcconaughey
JASON MOMOA HAD A BEAR EAT OUT OF MOUTH: Jason Momoa says he recently ate an Oreo cookie out of a nine-foot Kodiak grizzly’s mouth for Apple TV‘s new series See. “I had to train to fight a grizzly bear. You’re going to watch it. It was a Kodiak bear. It stood nine-foot tall,” the 40-year-old actor told Apple Music’s Beats 1. “You have to get it slowly close to you, and be able to interact with it.” He said that once the series dropped, he’d give fans a taste of what he did: “Once the episode comes out, I’ll put it on my Instagram, when I put a cookie in my mouth. And then he eats it up.” Momoa shared the shot on Friday.
