Jason Momoa apologizes after taking photos and videos during a recent trip to the Sistine Chapel.
Earlier this week, the Aquaman star took to Instagram to share photos he took admiring the artwork at the Apostolic Palace. The only problem is that photography is banned due to the fact that the flash can be harmful to the work of art.
“I LOVE YOU ITALY, what a beautiful start to our weekend, enjoying ROMA,” Momoa signed his post. Fans were outraged and some even believed that the 42-year-old actor had received special treatment.

“We ordinary people are not allowed to take pictures inside the Sistine Chapel,” said one user. Another fan said, “We can’t take pictures, but celebrities can’t do anything against Jason (I love him), but it’s not fair.”

After Momoa received the reaction, he released an apology video, which was shared by Just Jared.
“I also wanted to say that if you ever felt that I did not respect your culture, that was not my intention,” Momoa said.

“I came here when I was 19 or 20 to experience the Sistine Chapel. I’ve always wanted and now, when I can, I made a great donation to bring my friends and crew, because we only had a few days off to experience this place. “

He continued: “And then I discovered that people want to take pictures with me, which is very strange, during a trip to the Vatican with all this wonder, and they want to take pictures with me, which I don’t get, but nonetheless, I did.
“I was very respected and asked for permission from what I thought would be right. I would never want to do something that doesn’t respect someone’s culture. If I did, I apologize. It was not my intention. I paid to have this personal moment and gave a nice donation to the church. I love you. I’m sorry if I offended you. “
