Jason Momoa has arrived in New Zealand to a traditional pōwhiri - a Māori performance in his welcome.

Momoa appears to be chuffed by the performance giving a nod as acknowledgement before he is seen bowing in respect.

The Hollywood star is then gifted a pounamu - a greenstone, and goes on to greet each member of the group with a hongi before posing for photos.

Momoa is believed to be in New Zealand to start filming his new Apple TV + series Chief of War, which he is starring in, writing and executive producing.
