Commercial slots aired during the Super Bowl are highly coveted, and you can bet on some outrageous advertisements.
One of the most bizarre commercials involved actor Jason Momoa shedding his skin.
We are used to seeing the hunky tattooed bod of the Aquaman star, but nothing could prepare fans for the visual nightmare to come during the airing of the LIV Super Bowl.
Home lending company Rocket Mortgage featured the former Game of Thrones actor about being "comfortable in his own skin."
Home. Where comfortable means no shoes, no wig, and no … ? 🤔 See how Jason Momoa gets comfortable at home and how… https://t.co/MnOmQBmxOU— Rocket Mortgage by Quicken Loans (@Rocket Mortgage by Quicken Loans) 1580688446.0
We all know Momoa does not shy away from going shirtless whether he is on or off camera, but home viewers were not expecting his interpretation about being comfortable in his own skin.
Momoa started off the ad successfully evading the paparazzi and describing what "home" meant to him.
"It's the one place I can let my guard down."
Then things took a bizarre turn when he said:
"It's where I can just kick back and be totally comfortable in my own skin."
He cooly delivered the line while tearing off the outer layers of his burly arms, revealing significantly lankier limbs.
Jason momoa really did THAT #SuperBowl https://t.co/JkfiorX2ip— soup•doop (@soup•doop) 1580688623.0
Momoa was just getting started.
He continued to shed other parts of his body and gradually exposed a significantly leaner physique.
Fans simply could not process what they were seeing.
This is NOT what I was expecting from the Rocket Mortgage commercial with Jason Momoa 😭😭😭 https://t.co/Rr4M0yEank— TheBigShella (@TheBigShella) 1580688565.0
He continued:
"Rocket Mortgage understands that home is where I can be myself and that feels pretty darn good."
And with that, he ripped off his toupee and had the audacity to give his dumbstruck fans a casual smirk to the camera.

The ad concluded with Momoa's wife and actress, Lisa Bonet, spotting him on the bench press and revealing her strength by nimbly racking away the barbell he was struggling with.

Did Rocket Mortgage score big time with their freakish commercial?
Or did seeing a gangling Aquaman leave you wanting to seek a new lease on life?
A Fan Suggested The Perfect Movie To Remake With Peter Dinklage And Jason Momoa, And It's Honestly Genius
When you see Jason Momoa and Peter Dinklage starring in a movie together, what genre comes to mind?
Drama and Fantasy?
They've been there and done that.
A wacky buddy comedy?
Now, we're talking!
During the "Aquaman Live" panel discussion at Celebrity Fan Fest in San Antonio, Texas this past weekend, a fan suggested a movie pitch for Momoa, who starred as Khal Drago in Game of Thrones.
The fan asked if the Aquaman star would reunite with his GoT co-star Peter Dinklage for a remake of the 1988 buddy flick, Twins. The originalstarred Arnold Schwarzenegger and Danny DeVito as, well, twins.
Twins/Universal Pictures
The original 1988 film, Twins, is available here.
Someone already reimagined the original 1988 movie poster.
Perfect #Twins !! @PrideOfGypsiesJ #PeterDinklage https://t.co/uTV2Iu9V8F— Salman Artworks (@Salman Artworks) 1560868149.0
Momoa, 39, was enthusiastic for the prospect and revealed he is a fan of the comedy about unlikely twins separated at birth.
"F****n' tell me where to sign! Absolutely. That'd be amazing. I love that movie."
You can watch his reaction at the 17:52 mark from the video of the interview, below.

Momoa raved about Dinklage, calling him "amazing." Now that fans got his blessing in public, the moderator said it was up to the "people on Twitter" to make that happen.
According to TheHuffington Post, Momoa has not mentioned exploring that prospect. But with so many movies being revisited with a modern take, a Twins remake is not a long shot.
The 1988 movie, directed by Ivan Reitman, was a commercial success at the box office, opening at number one in the U.S. and earning $11 million during its first weekend of release.
Schwarzenegger and DeVito played fraternal twins–Vincent and Julius, respectively–who were created via a biological experiment in which the scientists involved told the mother (Bonnie Bartlett) that her babies died. Years later, Julius (Schwarzenegger) finds out information about his mother and brother and heads out to Los Angeles to reunite with his family.
In 2012, Universal announced a development of a sequel titled, Triplets, that would bring back Schwarzenegger and DeVito and would co-star Eddie Murphy as their long-lost brother.
It has yet to come to fruition, but the possibility of a sequel hasn't been scrapped, entirely.
Ivan Reitman confirms Triplets, the sequel to Arnold Schwarzenegger and Danny DeVito's Twins, is still in the works… https://t.co/4nE12eaXso— Consequence of Sound (@Consequence of Sound) 1479955210.0
DeVito told MovieWeb:
"I mean one of the ideas that was floated around was Eddie Murphy. So it would be Arnold and Eddie and I. He's a fun guy. We're talking about doing 'Triplets.'"
"If you remember Twins there was a cocktail, we mixed it together, and then you wound up with these two gene pools, Arnold and I. It was a strange little movie. We figured you could probably have another portion of that cocktail turn into somebody else."
The project is still on the back-burner, and bringing Triplets to the big screen is dependent on one important factor.
DeVito added:
"Everybody would be up for it. The main thing is you have to have a screenplay. We're looking. We're figuring it out."
Maybe there's a reason why Universal has been circumnavigating the sequel.
Were they waiting on an idea for Quadruplets?

Guys, it took me way too long to get my love life together. I don't learn. You ever have one of those relationships where you know everything that's happening is messed up but you still don't leave? I had a dude dump a bowl of popcorn over my head at a restaurant once. Think I left? Nope. I married him.
Looking back, that absolutely should have been a moment where I bailed out (I did, eventually and I'm SO GOOD right now, calm down guys) but like I said, I don't learn. So when one Reddit user posted:
What is the most "F*ck This I'm out" moment of your relationship?
I knew I owed it to myself (and those among you who are also clueless hot messes) to learn everything I could and share it. So of course I was all up in the responses like:
Here are some of the more popular, messier, more ridiculous responses. Learn well, guys. Learn well.
What's your "WTF I'm out of here" moment?
Woman Wants To Call Off Her Wedding Because Of Her Lack Of Bridesmaids, And Her Heartbroken Fiancee Turns To The Internet For Advice
Planning a wedding can be a nightmare for some people. It's amazing how quickly an event that is supposed to be about the couple can turn into a whole big production about literally everybody else. I know from experience, I actually cancelled my wedding and surprised people with a beach BBQ/wedding because planning it got to be so stressful. So when one heartbroken man asked Reddit what to do about his fiance's struggles with planning their wedding, I felt for the bride-to-be way down deep in my bones.
He explained that she had no female family members and no friends, so she had gotten fixated on the idea that she would have no bridesmaids. She's an elementary school teacher and writer who is pretty uncomfortable in social settings, so she didn't have a whole lot of chance for connecting with people. The groom has a large group of friends, but she's not so social. She was so upset that she was considering cancelling the wedding entirely! He was genuinely heartbroken that he couldn't help her feel better.
Reddit offered a few bits of advice for him. Some have been edited for clarity.
