Is Jason Momoa Really Riding A Motorcycle For Those High-Speed Scenes?

“But the other half of the time, I’m riding at top speed through Rome—that’s me,” Jason Momoa continued. “I couldn’t believe [director] Louis [Leterrier] let me do it.” Lucky for Momoa, his director has nothing but positive things to say about his performance in the upcoming action flick. “He’s also a fantastic action actor—he will perform all his stunts, he will ride his bikes, he will drive his cars, he will sing his own songs. He’s just a force,” Leterrier said, teasing Momoa’s character.

The Dante actor even mentioned how Leterrier was concerned if Momoa was insured to do his stuntwork. Hardcore fans of Momoa shouldn’t be surprised to learn that the actor was responsible for a portion of his “Fast X” motorcycle scenes. After all, the “Game of Thrones” actor has never shied away from his love of motorcycles (just take a look at his Instagram), with his favorite brand being Harley-Davidson. According to Men’s Journal, the actor boasts an impressive collection of bikes, which also happens to include the iconic 1916 MODEL J motorcycle.

With the release of “Fast X,” it’ll be interesting to see just how much of Momoa’s unique personality shines as he becomes Dante. Seeing as the 10th film in the franchise is set to spawn an 11th, only time will tell if Dante remains a foe or becomes a friend by the time the franchise wraps up.  

“Fast X” hits cinemas on May 19 2023.
