Tem & Aquaman We're Soul Brothers

Water deep bond these two share!

There’s a scene early on in new superhero film Aquaman where Temuera Morrison tells his on-screen love interest Nicole Kidman, “I was going to cook you some eggs.”

It’s a sly reference to his iconic role as Jake the Muss in Once Were Warriors that will fly right over the heads of most overseas viewers, but at the film’s Auckland premiere it was met with cheers and applause.

“I didn’t ruin the bloody movie, did I?” Temuera, 57, asks Woman’s Day. “I swear that was in the script and I just went with it. It wasn’t my idea, but I’ll take the credit for it.”
