The actor isn’t shy when talking about his love for New Zealand, previously telling Stuff he had noticed New Zealanders were very keen on him, adding that the feeling was mutual.
“I’m big fans of them,” he said.
“We look the same, like brothers and sisters, right? I look around at people on the street and think ‘oh that’s my uncle, that’s my auntie’ … so I have a deep connection because of my Polynesian roots.”
The social media post included a photo with fellow actor Jack Black.
“I’ve had some great times in Auckland with Jason,” Black told Newshub in March.
“I’ve eaten at some of the best restaurants I’ve ever been to.
“I don’t know if I should blow them up but I’m gonna say, there was this one Japanese restaurant I went to, a Yakitori restaurant, called The Cave.”
“Dude, that was so good,” he said, “deliciousness on a stick“.
