Even though the temperature in Park City dropped today after Deadline broke the news that congresswoman and social media sensation Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was skipping Sundance, a last minute appearance by Aquaman himself, Jason Momoa, cranked up the heat.
Momoa may have come to Utah for the snowboarding, but he was also the signature panelist at YouTube’s “What Works, What Doesn’t: Meet The Creatives Behind Some of YouTube’s Buzziest Channels” tonight, alongside the YouTube channel strategists for Will Smith and Riverdale‘s Madelaine Petsch. In addition, Momoa’s social media posse for his On the Roam YouTube channel were in tow.
The discussion: how younger and older generations have ignited fans on the social media channel, and balanced organic promo stunts with privacy.
The overall consensus: Just wing it, and be yourself.

Ready for your Jason Momoa obsession to grow tenfold? Then strap in, folks, because we have quite the treat for you. The Aquaman heartthrob recently paid a surprise visit to his family in the Midwest, and he documented the trip with an endearing video capable of melting even the coldest of hearts. Although Jason was born in Hawaii, he was raised in Iowa, where the rest of his family, including his grandmother Mabel, currently resides.
In the video shot by Pride of Gypsies film director Etienne Aurelius, Jason eats breakfast at a local cafe with his family, passes by his high school and teenage hangout spots, and hangs out with his grandma, whom he hadn't seen in "a long time." "She's still got it. She's still got her spirit," he said after their adorable visit. Watch the video below to see Jason being the sweet family man he is.
