Not even surgery could stop Jason Momoa from attending the 2022 Oscars.
The “Aquaman” actor attended the 94th Oscars on Sunday night shortly after undergoing hernia surgery.
The 42-year-old had quite a whirlwind weekend as he told Extra that he “just finished [filming]” on “Aquaman 2" before revealing that he "had surgery yesterday — I had a hernia surgery yesterday…"
"Throwing bodies around… Getting old, bro,” he joked.
When it comes to the awards ceremony, all eyes are on the ensembles, and Momoa showed up dressed to impress.
Outfitted in an all black tux, Momoa accessorized with sunglasses, which he said would come in handy when he was presenting.
“I got to read tonight. I can’t see far away…they are prescription,” he noted.
Momoa added a pop of color to his fit with a yellow and blue pocket square in support of Ukraine along with a pink scrunchie on his wrist.
“A little company called So Ill, they made my scrunchie,” he revealed.
As for his luscious locks, they were contained in a French braid, though he joked that he would “probably let it out at the parties.”
Momoa noted he was excited for his film “Dune” to “win some awards.”
And it did just that! The film got off to a strong start taking home six of the 10 nominations, including Cinematography, Film Editing, Original Score, and Sound.

The actor also revealed that he was excited to see his step daughter, Zoe Kravitz, and when Extra asked him about riding motorcycles with Lenny Kravitz, the ex-husband of Momoa’s estranged wife, Lisa Bonet, he said: “Love, motorcycles, love him — we’re just family.”
Momoa and Bonet announced that they were splitting in January after more than 15 years as a couple.
During the premiere of “The Batman,” the actor told a reporter from Entertainment Tonight Canada that despite everything, “it’s still family, you know.”
