Jason Momoa is warning fans not to attempt to come to wildfire-ravaged Hawaii to help fight the devastation caused by the disaster.
The Aquaman actor, 44, born in Honolulu, issued a stern warning to his social media followers as the infernos continued to kill islanders and holidaymakers – with the death toll from the blazes in Maui hitting 93 on Sunday , making them the deadliest wildfires in modern US history.He made the statement on his Instagram alongside a carousel of images that included a video of the blazes with the words: “Do not travel to Maui” over it.
Momoa added: “Do not convince yourself that your presence is needed on an island that is suffering this deeply.The actor’s post, which was originally created by the non-profit organisation Aina Momona , added tourists should stay away because the devastation from the natural disaster will have “a lasting island-wide impact on Maui’s resources”.
It stated: “Our community needs time to heal, grieve and restore. That means the less visitors on the island taking up critical resources that have become extremely limited the better.”But he captioned one of the clips with an uplifting message that said: “We will rise again, more connected, united, and determined.”In 2022, the star stripped down on Jimmy Kimmel Live to reveal he was wearing only a traditional Hawaiian malo that showed off his bum.
He said: “I actually don’t even like wearing clothes anymore,” before revealing he wears the loincloth “every day” and “all the time”.
