Supermodel Ashley Graham was stationed on the Oscars red carpet, interviewing celebrities as they arrived at the event for US TV network ABC.
One such interaction caused a stir when she asked Hawaiian-born action man Jason Momoa to perform the Māori ceremonial dance haka on cue.
"I gotta get a haka move. I gotta get, like, one haka move," she asked the Aquaman star, attempting to demonstrate by hopping awkwardly from one foot to the other.
Momoa's partner Lisa Bonet immediately moved to shut down the request.
