It’s no secret just how much Jason Momoa loves the All Blacks - and now one of the New Zealand rugby team’s most iconic players is showing the Hollywood star love in return.
Momoa, who is currently in New Zealand, revealed on Instagram he met with his favourite All Black of all time, Tana Umaga, and gifted him some clothes from his new Harley Davidson collection.
And the former All Blacks captain had a very special gift for him in return, handing him a vintage white jersey he wore more than 20 years ago.
“I’ve got an old jersey of mine, it’s been sitting around,” Umaga said casually as he handed Momoa the jersey - and the Aquaman star couldn’t believe his eyes.

“Happy birthday to me,” the star said in the clip.
“What the hell is going on ... look at that, August 1. Never in my life, 44 years, did I ever get in a hot tub.
“It’s snowing, baby!”
Countless fans wished him a happy birthday in the comments, as well as several of his Hollywood peers, including New Zealand’s own Taika Waititi, who wrote, “Happy Birthday my bro!” alongside three heart emojis.
But the post left several of his American followers - seemingly unaware of the existence of the Southern Hemisphere - scratching their heads.
“Why is no one asking where the hell is it snowing [on] August 1?” one commented, and others chimed in with “Where is it snowing right now in August?” and “Where in the world are you? Andes?”
After spending several months in New Zealand filming his new TV show Chief of War, Momoa said goodbye to New Zealand in June - and has returned to film the now-postponed Minecraft movie.
