Jason Momoahas no shame in revealing a favorite meal that many might consider unorthodox — “weird,” even.
“I have a weird breakfast thing,” theAquamanstar, 44, tells PEOPLE. “I always have rice with avocado, sunny-side-up eggs and sardines.”
That salty fish element, he adds, must be “fresh.” And the pièce de résistance on his sardine dish: “You can get them grilled.”
Asked whether “always” means every morning for breakfast, Momoa responds, “If I can, yeah. That’s my favorite thing.”
Of course, the menu changes if he happens to be in the place he grew up. “If I’m in Hawaii,” says the Honolulu-born actor, “it’s Portuguese sausage, eggs, rice, [macaroni] salad, kalua pig,lau lauand a big bowl of f—ingpoi.”
Then, jokes Momoa, “it’s back to sleep.”

TheFast Xstar is no stranger to the world of cuisine and spirits, having launched the brandMeili Vodkaearlier this year. Consistent with Momoa’s ongoing commitment to environmentally conscious practices, the vodka’s bottles are made from recycled glass, he tells PEOPLE.
He also owns aluminum-bottle water brandMananalu— a product he brought onto a Dec. 9 red carpet appearance while promoting his new movieAquaman and the Lost Kingdom. “I really love the idea of trying to stop single-use plastic and [using] this beautiful movie to attack that,” says Momoa, a credited co-writer on the film.
Last year the self-proclaimed “environmentalist at heart” was named the UN Environment Programme’s (UNEP)Advocate for Life Below Waterat the UN Ocean Conference in Portugal.

A sardine-heavy breakfast, of course, also helps the onscreen superhero stay fit amid his gruelingworkouts. And it’s not the first time he’s used food as a tool in his acting arsenal; while filming the dramaSee, Momoa learned how to interact safely with a nine-foot-tall Kodiak bear. As seen in a 2019Instagram videopost, he had his furry costareat an Oreo cookie straight out of his mouth.
