Jason Momoa has claimed he has a ‘dad bod’ as he discussed his recent hernia surgery on Tuesday’s episode of The Late Late Show with James Corden on CBS.

The actor, 43, had surgery the day before the Oscars in March and although that didn’t stop him from attending the ceremony, it’s slowed down his fitness regime.

Asked by James, 44, if he had fully recovered yet, he quipped: ‘All good. Not really doing sit-ups. Trying to keep that dad bod going for a little bit longer.’

Really? Jason Momoa claimed he now has a ‘dad bod’ as he discussed his recent hernia surgery on Tuesday’s episode of The Late Late Show with James Corden on CBS (pictured right in 2017)

As James quipped: ‘You can’t say you’ve got a dad bod You can’t. It’s not a dad bod,’ Jason retorted: ‘Well, I don’t want to do any more sit-ups!’

A hernia occurs when an internal part of the body pushes through a weakness in the muscle or surrounding tissue wall, if surgery is required to treat the problem, most people make a full recovery within a few weeks.

Discussing the procedure on the red carpet at the latest Academy Awards, Jason revealed: ‘I had surgery yesterday… [it’s because of] throwing bodies around. I’m getting old, bro. It ain’t that CinemaCon from 2016, you know what I’m saying?’

Back in October, Jason revealed his age had made him more prone to getting injured as he discussed his battle scars from filming Aquaman And The Lost Kingdom.

‘I messed up my eyes,’ the Dune star said. ‘I just got something in it that kinda cut it up, and then I’ve gotta get surgery. I have a hernia, I’ve got ribs out. I’m just getting beat up.’

When asked why he keeps getting injured during filming, the See actor pointed to his enthusiasm for the work as a main cause.

‘I just kinda give it,’ he said. ‘I love my job and I get a little too excited. The age thing. I’m an aging superhero now.’

Fighting fit: Jason previously revealed how he maintains his incredible physique, telling Men’s Health in 2013,’You need to eat big and lift big’

Jason previously revealed how he maintains his incredible physique, telling Men’s Health in 2013: ‘You need to eat big and lift big. But I prefer to eat as much lean meat and green veg as possible and save the calories for Guinness. It keeps you sane.

‘I love carbs but denial is good training for the mind. After finishing a one-month cleanse, I had a giant bowl of pasta and I swear to Christ it was like I was on heroin.’

Revealing his guilty pleasures, Jason added: ‘I love cigars and booze. If you’re going to pound the beers you’ve got to suck it up. It [the treadmill] gets you going, man. Then you can have that beer.’

Elsewhere on his appearance on The Late Late Show, Jason also shared that he spent almost the entire summer in Europe and took his children to see concerts by The Rolling Stones, Guns N’ Roses to Billie Eilish.

James asked Jason if his daughter Lola, 15, and son Nakoa-Wolf, 13, appreciated seeing the older artists as much as seeing pop star Billie, 20.

‘I think everyone kind of loves Billie Eilish,’ Jason said. ‘I love her.’

Jason said he also really appreciated being able to share with his daughter the music of The Rolling Stones.

‘I told Lola about Give Me Shelter and the meaning behind it,’ Jason said. ‘I wanted to share it with my daughter who sings. She was just blown away. She was crying and I was just like holding her at The Rolling Stones. It was just like a beautiful moment to share with her. ‘

Jason also spoke about the bittersweet final season of his sci-fi show See on the Apple TV+ streaming service.

James asked him with school starting back up if he drops his kids off at school. Jason said he does in his only car, a pink Cadillac.

‘I love taking my kids,’ Jason said. ‘We play a music game. Since they were in kindergarten, I drove to school and since we are in traffic. It’s a solid hour. I play a song and they would be like Tom Waits.

‘We would just play and I would just teach them music. And we just have a nice little ride to work because it is stressful getting out of the house. So I like to, if we get there in time, we stop by the ocean, if the traffic is not too busy but I love taking them.’

Jason and ex-wife Lisa Bonet, 54, earlier this year announced their separation after getting married in 2017 and being in a relationship since 2005.
