Jason Momoa doesn't really need bodyguards, though he'd make a good one himself. After all, the actor, who played Dothraki warlord Khal Drogo in "Game of Thrones" and will star in the standalone 2018 "Aquaman" movie, is 6 feet 4 inches (1.93 meters) and more than 200 pounds (91 kilograms).
So when a photo showing the hulking Momoa surrounded by two smaller men in dark suits started making the rounds, it went viral quicker than Drogo could command his khalasar.
Anyone who follows Jason Momoa knows that despite the intense roles he's cast for, the guy is one of the down-to-earth celebrities off-screen.
At 6'4" and a lean on screen 214lbs, it's understandable why he can easily go from this:
Like other celebrities, he does need the occasional bodyguard to protect him from fans and drunk guys in Tapout shirts.
The thing is, if you're a famous person that's towering over your bodyguards you're going to get a few memes and some funny commentary.
Twitter had a field day with the photo once it started making the rounds.
There were video game boss references abound.
It also brought about a very good question:
Maybe the disparity could have been done intentionally?
There seemed to be no end to the jokes.
Though the best comparison really is the first one, with only a minor tweak needed.
Still 20 weeks to go until the new season of Game of Thrones hits.
