"Damn it! I hate it," Momoa says in the video.

"I think it's been about six years, maybe a little bit more, since I did 'Dune.' What was really special about that is, that is when I started and I started launching Mananalu," he continues, referring to the reusable bottled water company he launched in 2019.

"It's going to be good. He did it on his own. I don't want to help him," Momoa said.

"I couldn't do what he's doing at his age," he added. "There's no way I could sit in a room with ['Dune: Part Three' director] Denis Villeneuve and hold my own. I was on 'Baywatch' at 19. He's 16 and holding s--- down with Denis Villeneuve."
