Jason Momoa's diet plan for Aquaman 2 may come as a surprise.

"I don't do calories," Momoa recently told E! News. "I just eat." 

The actor revealed that he ate "everything" before donning the Aquaman suit for its sequel. His diet supports the lengthy work days where he is "constantly moving" on set.

"I don't really do it for vanity," he continued. "It's more so I don't get hurt. You've got to be prepared. You're putting on a suit that's going to weigh 40 pounds. You've got to be able to move. That kind of action just puts a lot of weight on your knees. So, you just do it so you don't get hurt."

However, the 44-year-old is religious about his breakfast, revealing the "weird" dish he starts nearly every morning with.

“I always have rice with avocado, sunny-side-up eggs and sardines,” he says to People. He adds that the sardines must be "fresh."

The Hawaii native will switch things up when he’s back home, saying that he will substitute his normal breakfast routine for something that’s more traditional to the location. “It's Portuguese sausage, eggs, rice, [macaroni] salad, kalua pig, lau lau and a big bowl of f---ing poi.”

Joining Momoa in Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom is Amber Heard, Nicole Kidman, Yahya Abdul Mateen II, Patrick Wilson, and more. The film is in theaters on Dec. 22.
