Jason Momoa recently talked with the folks over at Den Of Geek in depth about his role in the upcoming fantasy series
Game of Thrones and his portrayal of every one's favorite barbarian
Conan. It is a fantastic interview and you really should follow the link below to read it in it's entirety. However, I found the following questions pertaining to Arnold Shwarzenegger particularly interesting and well worth sharing.
Are you prepared for the fanbase to explode when this film comes out?
I just hope they like it, because I've been bustin' my ass, and I hope people love it, and embrace it. You'll probably have dipshits who'll be, like [adopts whiny voice] "It's not like the 80s film.".
Well, I hope not, ‘cause that was the [frick]in' 80s. There's a lot more we can do now, dude. Some people will be like, "Oh, it's not Arnold." Well, no shit, Sherlock. I didn't plan on being like Arnold. In anything.
Would you care if Arnold gave you his blessing?
I don't care if he gives me his blessing. I love Arnold. I respect him, and love watching all his movies. I love True Lies. I love watching everything from that to Kindergarten Cop. It's a great career.
Obviously, I'm going into action, so I'm following in his footsteps in a sense, but I can't ever compare myself to Arnold. He's one of a kind. I'd never put myself in his shoes. So, I think he may like it, he may not. It's not like I'll quit acting if he doesn't like it.
Do you think you could beat him in a fight?
No, I'm sure he'll kick my ass. [laughs] I always thought that'd be funny, to be on Saturday Night Live, and do a little skit and have him come out and beat the shit out of me. I think that'd be funny. I'm always full of jokes, and I think it'd be great to just have him [frick]in' throw me around the room.
