Fans Want a Jason Momoa and Helen Mirren Rom-Com After Oscars Presenting
By Olivia Montine
While Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga had the most obvious chemistry on stage last night at the Oscars, viewers are now also requesting a different pairing of celebs as a result of the awards show.
When Helen Mirren and Jason Momoa took the stage to present the award for Best Documentary, the internet had a collective lightbulb: a rom-com featuring the unlikely pair.
“Jason and I didn’t coordinate our outfits tonight,” Mirren said when coming on stage. “This is purely accidental. But, you know, it just goes to show, doesn’t it, that these days, a Hawaiian god and a very mature English woman can actually wear the same color. We can both wear pink!”
Helen Mirren jokes that she and Jason Momoa didn't coordinate their outfits.

The former Game of Thrones actor then added, "Finally, times are changing."
The witty chat the two stars exchanged sent Twitter into an odd hypothetical rabbithole: what could Hollywood put Momoa and Mirren in together? The conclusive answer? Everything.
