Jason Momoa disguises his 'ugly' feet with bright pink nail polish at In the Hand of Dante premiere

Jason Momoa made a serious style statement by rocking bright pink toenails at the premiere of his new film, In the Hand of Dante.

The Minecraft actor, 46, wore a light pink suit on the red carpet at the Venice Film Festival on Wednesday.

He matched his footwear to the outfit, donning light pink fuzzy Birkenstocks and painting his toenails pink to match.

The Aquaman star said he went for the eye-catching manicure to disguise his “ugly” feet, in a video shared on his Instagram Stories from the red carpet.

Momoa filmed his co-star Oscar Isaac at the event, with the actor asking him: “You’ve done this [being at Venice festival] before, right?”

The Hawaiian native replied with a laugh: “No, I’ve never done this before! I'm not used to the things that you're used to, sir.”

Isaac then pointed down at Momoa’s feet, seemingly noticing his pedicure for the first time.

Momoa panned the camera down to his feet, telling fans: “Take a look. Got my Birkenstocks, got my ugly a** feet... but they’re painted!”

He also filmed his 16-year-old son, Nakoa-Wolf Momoa, who joined his father for his big night in Italy.

Nakoa-Wolf - whose mother is Momoa’s ex-wife Lisa Bonet - is following in his actor father’s footsteps.

He has begun filming for his role as the character Leto II (the son of Timothée Chalamet's Paul Atreides and Zendaya's Chani) in the upcoming Dune: Part Three.

Momoa appeared as Duncan Idaho in 2021's Dune: Part One and islated to reprise the role in the franchise's third film.

In the Hand of Dante is a crime thriller by filmmaker Julian Schnabel.

It follows the story of “a handwritten manuscript of Dante Alighieri's poem The Divine Comedy [that] makes its way from a priest to a mob boss in New York City”.

Momoa stars in it alongside Gal Gadot, Martin Scorsese, Gerard Butler and Al Pacino.
