Jason Momoa has recently sparked a backlash on social media, causing him to issue an apology. This comes after he posted photos and videos of himself inside the Sistine Chapel in Italy.

The New York Post noted that photography is off-limits inside the Apostolic Palace, where the chapel is. As explained, this is due to the harm that a camera flash poses to the artwork.

In a video shared exclusively to Just Jared, the 42-year-old celebrity said that it was not his intention to disrespect the culture. He revealed that inside the chapel, he found people who wanted to take pictures with him.

Momoa continued that he was “very respectful,” adding that he “asked for permission from what [he] thought would be okay.” But, he stated that he “would never want to do anything to disrespect someone’s culture,” and if he did, he apologized.

The “Aquaman” actor also, later on, shared that he gave a “nice donation to the church.” Before ending his public apology, he said “sorry” again if he had offended anyone.

Reports said that Jason Momoa recorded the video on his last day in Italy. He began the clip by saying that he loves the country, and “it has been the time of [his] life.”

The celebrity shared how happy he is, as well, “to be working for Universal [Pictures].” He even mentioned Vin Diesel in the video.

As it happens, Jason Momoa was in Italy for the filming of “Fast X,” the tenth installment in the “Fast & Furious” franchise. The material is reportedly set for a May 2023 release.

The recent developments in the “Game of Thrones” star’s life comes amid reports of him having a new woman following his split from Lisa Bonet.

On Saturday, multiple sources told People that he and Eiza Gonzales are dating. It was also claimed that he “cares about her” as they work on “Fast X.”

Jason Momoa is reportedly “in a great place,” as well. He is “quite busy” these days, and the same goes for the actress.

No official statements have been heard yet from the two celebrities. Accordingly, it remains unclear whether they are, indeed, seeing each other.

Earlier in March, Momoa quashed dating rumors involving Kate Beckinsale. This came after speculations emerged as he was seen giving her his jacket at Vanity Fair’s 2022 Academy Awards afterparty.

He clarified that “it was chivalry,” and the actress “was cold,” at the time. He noted that he “was being very nice” and “gentleman” before stating that he will no longer give his coat to anyone ever again.
