Actor Jason Momoa received a positive COVID-19 diagnosis during the filming of Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom in the UK, as The Sun reported. “Jason is fine luckily and is now isolating after getting a positive test. But it’s a real headache for the film’s bosses, who are now worrying about having to delay their tight filming schedule,” a source revealed.
Since the 42-year-old has already taken the necessary measures and got away from the production, it is expected that in the next few hours no more people will be infected.
“Of course the safety of everyone working on the film is the most important thing and everyone is tested regularly,” the source pointed out.
However, the director hopes that Momoa’s contagion isn’t serious and in a few days he can return to the location and get back work. “Everyone is wishing him a speedy recovery and they’re looking forward to having him back on set,” the source stated.
This wouldn’t be the first time that Momoa had a health issue during filming, since a while ago he confessed on The Ellen DeGeneres Show that the shoot wasn’t as easy as he thought and had caused him some inconveniences.
“I messed up my eyes. 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. I love my job and I get a little too excited — then the age thing, you know, I’m an aging superhero right now.”
