    Jason Momoa says there’s one thing that happened to him on the set of Dune that almost doesn’t happen to him anymore when he’s acting

    Although it is a relatively new franchise, Denis VilleneuveIt is Dune films are considered some of the best science fiction movies of all time. And while fans wait for news of Dune: Messiahthe writing processthe stories from the setting(s) always come out. Case in point: Duncan Idaho actor Jason Momoa says something happened to him on the set of Dune This almost doesn’t happen to him anymore when he plays.

    Momoa appeared in the first Dune movie (which is streamed with a Maximum subscription), and was tragically killed along with many other members of House Atreides. He has been acting in television and film for many years now and is a pro at filming. But during a conversation with Forbes about his recent penchant for music, he revealed that he was actually nervous on the Villeneuve set. In his words:

    I’m afraid of being on stage. I’m really scared and nervous. I don’t have that when I’m doing my job (as an actor) because I’ve been doing it for so long. (But being on stage) is like auditioning for your favorite director with your favorite actors and you don’t have to do anything in that movie. It’s like going and being in Dune and you’re like, “What the hell am I doing?” Why am I here? Why did you choose me? I didn’t have to audition for Dune, but it’s just weird. It’s like your first scene with them. I was nervous doing this. But (being in a rock band) it’s the same level.
