Actor and Oof Tatata bassist Jason Momoa has brightened the long weekend shift of two Whitianga-based police constables.

Waikato East police district constables Roxy Worthington and Jen Hayward were undertaking routine licensed premise checks at the Coroglen Tavern during Labour weekend when they were surprised to spot a familiar Hollywood face.

Momoa took the tavern’s stage with his band Oof Tatata, who were playing a gig in the Coromandel as part of a nationwide tour. However, the Aquaman and Game of Thrones star is also currently filming the action movie The Wrecking Crew in New Zealand.

Worthington and Hayward had been deployed to the pub for regular intoxication checks and to prevent any drink-driving when they got the chance to snap a pic with the Hollywood heavyweight.

He’d just come off stage when he stopped for the photo with the duo.
