The One Show: Jason Momoa slammed over his ‘rude’ behaviour towards Nigella Lawson as he turns his back on her

What happened here?

The One Show saw Jason Momoa, Nigella Lawson, and James Nesbitt appear on the green sofa last night (Monday, December 11).

At points, the Hollywood heartthrob seemed captivated by what James had to say.

But some viewers at home took to social media to express their unhappiness at the film star’s demeanour to telly chef Nigella.

The One Show: What happened with Jason Momoa?

That’s because as Jason turned towards James to listen to the Cold Feet actor, he positioned himself on the sofa so his back faced Nigella.

He also rested his right arm on the back of the sofa, and occasionally propped his head up on his hand. And both of these movements meant the star’s body appeared ‘closed off’ to her.

Furthermore, Nigella’s own seated poses on the sofa could also look a little awkward and almost defensive as she crossed her right arm to place her hand on her left knee in comparison to Jason’s hulking figure.

Some social media users picked up on Jason’s bearing accused him of being “rude”.

“Very rude body language by Jason Momoa, putting his back to Nigella,” wrote one on Twitter.

Very rude body language by Jason Momoa.

Another viewer agreed: “Jason Momoa sat with his back to Nigella the whole time on the sofa… so rude.”

“#TheOneShow This Jason bloke is rude sitting with his back to Nigella,” claimed a third.

A fourth tweeted: “Just switched on the telly. Why is Jason Momoa pointedly sitting with his back to Nigella Lawson?”

A fifth questioned: “Awkward body language as Jason Mamoa turns his back on Nigella. What’s that all about? @BBCTheOneShow #TheOneShow.”

And a sixth compared it to a classic TV moment, recalling: “#TheOneShow Jason Momoa sat with his back to Nigella the whole time on the sofa, so rude. Grace Jones slapped Russell Harty for that.”
