This Morning’s Phillip Schofield had a total fanboy moment as he interviewed Aquaman star Jason Momoa – and even played with his trident.
Schofield was in his element as he quizzed Momoa, who plays the titular character in the upcoming DC Universe film, before getting into character himself.
Superfan Schofield grabbed the trident and shouted “I can command the ocean!” before grinning at his new Ocean Master role.
This Morning viewers were tickled by Schofield and his “man crush”.
Best buddies: Phillip Schofield and Jason Momoa ITVOne wrote: “The highlight of maternity leave so far.... @Schofe man crushing on Jason Momoa. Hilarious. #ThisMorning.”
Another said: “Ooh Jason momoa with his trident & wearing a scrunchie on his wrist on #ThisMorning my Wednesday has leveled up 100%.”
A third tweeted: “#ThisMorning @Schofe face when #JasonMomoa on the show #gameofthrones.”
Schofield earlier abandoned his co-host Rochelle Humes after she admitted she had never seen Game Of Thrones.
Before assuming the role of half-human, half-Atlantean Arthur Curry, Momoa played Khal Drogo in Game Of Thrones.
