Kiwis don't care about celebrities

Transcript

Kiwis don't care about celebrities. I love New Zealand. We were just in the middle of Queenstown and Jason Momoa pulled up on a Harley Davidson and no one cared. A couple people like looked at their mates and was like, hey, it's Aquaman. But everyone just let him be. No one asked for a photo, everyone just looked at him and was like, wow. No one even got close actually. He just walked past like 50 people and everyone just kept walking. They were like, oh, sick. I love it. Only in this country.
