Jason Momoa And His Co-Stars Running ‘Half-Naked’ In Slow Mo For Their New TV Series Has Fans Making The Pamela Anderson Comparisons

by

As a die-hard fan, I’m thrilled about Jason Momoa’s upcoming TV show, titled “Chief of War.” Set to premiere on your Apple TV+ subscription in August, this series sees the “Aquaman” star portraying Ka’iana, a Native Hawaiian warrior who resisted the unification of Hawai’i that occurred between 1782-1810. Interestingly, a sneak peek has sparked quite the buzz, with Momoa and his co-stars being seen running around in somewhat minimal clothing, leading to an unusual flurry of Pamela Anderson comparisons among fans.

In the sneak preview of the Apple TV+ show Chief of War,, you can catch Jason Momoa preparing for his running scenes with enthusiasm, as he’s pursued by his fellow actor Brandon Finn – whom he referred to as “the next Tom Cruise.” This is definitely something I’m excited to witness when the series begins streaming. Here’s a behind-the-scenes action clip:

In Jason Momoa’s most impressive roles, he has donned some unusual styles such as a green-and-gold attire for Aquaman, a hairstyle with bangs in the Minecraft Movie, and deep smoky eyes and a long ponytailed beard in Game of Thrones. Recently, Momoa was seen in an ancient Hawaiian loincloth (also known as a malo), which wasn’t on my list this week, but I’m not complaining. However, some fans like @michelewaagaard have noted that the slow-mo sequence evokes some Pamela Anderson vibes, and now all I can picture is that.

This present-day spectacle is akin to Pamela Anderson slowly jogging on Baywatch in the ’90s, and I wholeheartedly embrace it. You go, peach!

In a fascinating twist, watching Jason Momoa’s Ka’iana being pursued by ancient Hawaiian warriors reminds me of the classic Baywatch scene where lifeguards run in slow motion to save the day. Interestingly, it was by chance that the Baywatch show’s slow-motion sequences were created during editing, and they continued using it after audiences loved it. However, I have a feeling that the slow-motion running in Chief of War wasn’t an accident – instead, it might have been a strategic move to underscore the seriousness and business-like attitude of these Hawaiian natives.

It’s worth noting that some Instagram users have spotted an intriguing similarity in the comparisons @michelewaagaard makes to Pamela Anderson, whether she was aware of it or not. Check out the comments below to see if it struck a chord with you too:

  • he was also on baywatch- @mel77belle
  • I came for this comment 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂.- @chio.cr.rdgz
  • 😂 runnnnnnnn- @deeelisssa
  • I’m going to watch anything where this man appears half-naked🔥🔥🔥- @rubenchyluv

Absolutely! It’s captivating to learn that Jason Momoa kicked off his career from the show “Baywatch: Hawaii”! At 19, he was sorting T-shirts in a surf shop when he was picked out of 1,300 applicants to play Jason Ioane. He became part of the shirtless, slow-motion action for its two seasons and even featured in the direct-to-video movie “Baywatch: Hawaiian Wedding.

Instead, the “Fast X” star has chosen not to discuss his involvement in the ’90s drama series nor “Game of Thrones” with his children, considering these productions not entirely suitable for family viewing. Indeed, it’s understandable that they wouldn’t want to watch their father in suggestive swimwear or witnessing graphic on-screen violence.

Who would have guessed connecting Jason Momoa’s historical drama “Chief of War” with Pamela Anderson from “Baywatch”? However, if they continue to include those dramatic “half-naked” slow-motion scenes, viewers might find themselves longing for the beach instead of the battlefield. Be sure to catch it on Apple TV+ on August 1st, 2025 when it streams its TV release.
