Jason Momoa sent the boss of Game of Thrones to the hospital for a very strange reason

If Jason Momoa offers to slap you, run. Run very far and do not look back. (Or maybe swimming away.)

We do not know who would have physically challenged the former actor of Game of Thrones but it's a lesson learned first-hand by the viewer of the HBO series, David Benioff. Fortunately, he lived to tell his mistake to future generations.

In the latest episode of the hilarious HBO Backstories animated web series, Benioff talks about throwing a challenge to the Momap movie as Khal Drogo.

The challenge came after they had "an anesthetic amount of beer" with the entire cast. Momoa then relentlessly hit Benioff's hands, while the rest of the cast and his co-host, D.B. Weiss looked helpless.

"I looked into Momoa's eyes and saw no pity," Benioff recalls. "But I would not stop because I had my pride."

Weiss said, "When we looked down at his hands, his hands were not there. # 39; air … correct. "

Emilia Clarke finally interposed to stop the game because Benioff's hands were starting to look like. "Hunting gloves with bubonic plague" after Momoa's innumerable slaps.

The writer made the very bad decision not to seek immediate medical attention, and then returned home to Belfast the next day in Los Angeles.

Fortunately, a medical examination indicated that Momoa had only managed to "crush the hands", so that there was no permanent damage.

"Jason Momoa is one of our favorite members of the series … and very, very strong," said Benioff.

Jason Momoa has been crying fans around the world this week when he shaved his beard. If the beard was the source of its mystical strength, as many people think, it may be time to play a rematch for Slap Game.
