In a clip shared on the social media platform, Momoa can be seen arm-wrestling a boy in a wheelchair before accepting defeat. The Game of Thrones alum then shares a laugh with the child, joking that his own muscles are actually “fake.”
“Thanks to actor Jason Momoa, for stopping by this morning to visit the patients and families at UPMC Children’s!” the hospital wrote on Twitter.
