Jason Momoa Was Trapped in a Hotel Elevator for 2 Hours

Aquaman finally met his match—a broken-down elevator.

Jason Momoa was staying at Vancouver’s L’Hermitage Hotel Monday night when the former Game of Thrones star got stuck inside the hotel lift for two hours. He hilariously documented his ordeal on his Instagram Stories (@prideofgypsies). Also trapped were Momoa’s dog, Rama, and a few of his friends (including Creed II star and former M&F cover guy Florian “Big Nasty” Munteanu, who was flipping out and frantically pressing the elevator buttons).

“The fire department really doesn’t wanna show up,” Momoa shared with his 13.3 million followers. All Momoa and Co. had to survive on, other than his sense of humor, were a pack of M&M’s and a few beers. A cannibalism debate naturally ensued (“we’ll flip a coin on who to eat first,” Momoa joked).

Meanwhile, Rama had the right idea: just lay down and nap until help arrived.

Momoa’s “stunt team” eventually did come to the rescue—but not before the DC blockbuster star channeled his inner Die Hard and attempted to pull his yippe-ki-way out through the ceiling. “Worst f— hotel ever!” Big Nasty concluded.
