AceShowbiz - Jason Momoa isn't like anything he's ever been seen before in the Rocket Mortgage Quicken Loans commercial that was debuted during Super Bowl LIV. The actor showed a shocking transformation as he goes bald and skinny in the ad that aired on Sunday, February 2.
In a bid of highlighting a man who gets comfortable and relaxed while he's at home, the ad features the "Aquaman" star peeling off his muscles as if they were fake while walking around his house and removing his wig while sitting on a couch. "What does home mean to me?" he says in the video. "It's my sanctuary. It's the one place I can let my guard down. It's where I can just kick back and be totally comfortable in my own skin."
Toward the end of the ad, the 40-year-old actor is seen struggling to lift a weightless barbell while his wife Lisa Bonet cheers him up. He then hurriedly hands over the bar to the actress, who easily lifts it.
Jason previously hinted at his shocking transformation in a teaser for the ad. "You've seen him as a superhero. A warrior. And an outlaw. But you've never seen Jason Mamoa like this," he said in the short clip.
Following the release of the full commercial, many people have expressed their shock at Jason's appearance in the ad. "This is NOT what I was expecting from the Rocket Mortgage commercial with Jason Momoa," one commented.
Another wrote on Twitter, "This Jason Momoa Rocket Mortgage commercial is really disturbing please don't ever show it again." A third user shared the same opinion, "When he snatched his own wig I was sick!!"
Some others, however, think the ad is hilarious. "Why did they do this, just wrong lol," one tweeted despite her/his conflicted feelings about the ad. Another wrote, "HILARIOUS. When he started peeling off his arms I was like what?!"
"By far....the BEST ad yet. We all laughed. Totally unexpected, witty and loved seeing hubby/wife at play," one other user reacted to the ad, while someone else called it her/his "Fave Commerical so far!"
