“Jason Mamoa is getting body-shamed on the Internet today for this picture of him on vacation because he’s “fat now” and has a “dad bod”… and I’m officially never taking my shirt off ever again as long as I live. Not even in the shower,” read a sarcastic tweet by user @cultofdusty1 in support of Momoa.

Some also tweeted about the “Unrealistic body expectations” people have from actors. “Unrealistic body expectations is no longer a female-only thing culturally. The idea that male actors have to be muscled up and chiselled for almost any role is really really new but seems here to stay.

Anyone brave enough to tell him that he’s fat (he isn’t) to his face?

No, didn’t think so.
