HOLLYWOOD star Jason Momoa declared “I’m Irish” and kissed his mum in the “best Guinness ad ever”.

The commercial begins with action movie star and huge Guinness fan Momoa nervously waiting to see the results of an ancestry test in a sushi bar.

The Game of Throwns star then opens the letter and explodes with joy screaming out loud before jumping off the stool and running out of the restaurant.

Jason causes havoc on his race to the pub as he slides down an escalator, slides across the bonnet of someone’s car and gets chased by the driver.

The 44-year-old finally makes it to the pub with his friends and family already there and shouts out: “I’m f***ing Irish!”

His mum Coni replies: “Hey, then kiss me.”

Jason grabs his mum’s face for a celebratory smooch before moving over to another young woman in the pub to give her a peck on the cheek.

However, someone in the pub looks at the ancestry results and says: “Let me see this. You’re 2% Irish.”

Jason replied enthusiastically: “Yeah, I know!”

A woman beside him adds: “See that spirit, that’s all you need.”

Everybody in the pub then holds up their pints of Guinness as Jason shouts: “Slainte everyone!”

The Hawaii native co-directed the commercial which was shot in Auckland, New Zealand while filming his latest movie.

Jason was the one who came up with the fun premise himself, and made sure to recruit his mum Coni and a group of close friends and family to star alongside him for the Lovely Day campaign.

The Aquaman actor was very eager to work for Guinness and told People Magazine: “I’ve been calling them up for a decade now.

“I’ve wanted to direct for Guinness for 12 years now., They have, in my opinion, the best commercials in the world. It was fun pitching this idea to them, they loved it.”

‘GREAT JOB’

Jason said once his mum was on set she was “terrified” saying: “She did a great job but it was really cute to see my mom kind of panicked on the lines.

“She’s [Coni] the one that introduced Guinness to me. It only made sense for us to be together.”

Momoa’s fans all loved the hilarious advert and said he “nailed it”.

Kate commented: “Now this is advertising! WAY TO GO, GUINNESS!! Nailed it!”

Another fan wrote: “Best commercial I’ve ever seen.”

Mary said: “Great job. Best commercial ever.”

Ben added: “Thats what an ad should be like.”
