After Jason Momoa took to Instagram to write an open apology to Chris Pratt, after publicly calling him out for drinking out of a single-use plastic water bottle, fans dug up an old, embarrassing, and rather ironic photo of Jason.
ICYMI, last week Jason Momoa publicly dragged Chris Pratt for drinking out of a single-use plastic water bottle.
Since, you know, plastic is horrible for the planet and we should all be doing our best to eliminate the use of it.
It all started when Chris shared this photo on Instagram of himself sipping out of the aforementioned single-use plastic water bottle, inadvertently triggering Jason Momoa.
He said what the rest of us environmentalists were secretly thinking…

“Bro i love u but wtf on the water bottle,” he wrote. “No single use plastic. come on.”
Now, could he have broached his critique in a more polite way? Definitely.
But Jason is passionate about Mother Earth, so there was no room to sugar-coat things.
And while his heart was obviously in the right place, his comment blew tf up.
Fans thought that Jason’s comment came off aggressive, and could have been said less offensively.
Eventually, due to all the uproar, Jason seemingly began to feel like he might’ve come down a little too hard on Chris after all.
Sometimes tough love isn’t the answer.
To clarify that his comment was in no way a reflection of how he feels about Chris, but rather, simply a concerned citizen of our planet, Jason sent out an open apology on Instagram.
“BRO you know my children and I are madly in love with you and I love everything you do,” he began .
“I’m sorry this was received so badly today.”
“I didn’t mean for that to happen. I’m just very passionate about this single use plastic epidemic,” he continued .
“The plastic water bottles have to stop,” he continued.
“I hope u make a reusable water bottle for Amazon so we all can purchase.”
“You’re an inspiration to many I’m one of them,” he clarified.
“I’ll send you a case of MANANALU. All my Aloha, Da Momoa’s,” he concluded.
In case you missed it, Jason recently launched the company, Mananalu, that sells water out of aluminum cans instead of plastic bottles.
While Jason’s apology and concern for the planet seemed genuine, fans have been digging up old photos of him drinking out of plastic water bottles in retaliation to his attack on Chris Pratt.
YIKES.
And while it’s safe to assume that all of these photos are from long before Jason became the woke af environmentalist he is today.
Nonetheless, fans are finding it hilarious.
Eeeek! There are literally FOUR plastic water bottles in this photo.
Telling by the length of Jason’s hair, this is not a recent photo of him. But it’s still probably not something he wants circulating around the web while he’s trying to protest plastic.
Fans were actually able to dig up several photos from over the years of Jason using single-use plastic water bottles.
At least he came to his senses and ditched plastic water bottles eventually, right?
Naturally, the proof of Jason drinking out of plastic bottles has become one big joke on Twitter.
Him calling out Chris Pratt has certainly backfired in a way he probably wasn’t expecting.
In the end, however, Chris acknowledged Jason’s comment and apology and totally agreed with him.
“Aquaman! You’re completely right. Damnit. I always carry my big gallon size reusable water jug around with me too. I even had it that day!!!,” he wrote .
He explained the water bottle was just a prop for the pic, YOU GUYS!
“If I remember correctly somebody threw that plastic bottle to me in the photo shoot cause I didn’t know what to do with my hands,” he continued.
“I never know what to do with my hands! So uncomfortable. For real tho. Love you too buddy. My bad.”
“I don’t want your home of Atlantis covered in plastic. Hear that kids? Reduce. Reuse. Recycle,” he concluded.
The fans have been loving this whole interaction, though.
SO THAT’S GOOD, RIGHT?!
However, some people weren’t too impressed with Momoa’s actions.
Someone even found this picture of Jason Momoa about to board a private jet which is… PRETTY BAD FOR THE ENVIRONMENT.
Eeek!
I guess we all just have to do the best we can to help the planet!!!
In the words of Hannah Montana, Nobody’s Perfect .
