\n Jason Momoa, who played superhero Aquaman in the DC Extended Universe, and his girlfriend, the actor Adria Arjona, stopped for lunch at the Whippet Inn in North Street on Friday (January 30).\n<\/p>\n
\n Taylor Lloyd, the restaurant\u2019s assistant general manager, served the couple and said they were an \u201cabsolute delight\u201d.\n<\/p>\n
\n Speaking to The Press, Taylor said she first recognised Arjona, who is currently filming new thriller film Scorn in Leeds and has starred in Father of the Bride, Hit Man and Blink Twice, after recently watching one of her films.\n<\/p>\n
\n But then she saw the 6ft 3in Momoa. \u201cI recognised her then was like, Oh my God, it\u2019s Aquaman! Aquaman\u2019s here,\u201d Taylor said. \u201cWe ran up to the kitchen and were like, ‘You\u2019re going to be serving Aquaman!’ It was great.\u201d\n<\/p>\n
\n Taylor described the American couple as the \u201cmost delightful people that we\u2019ve had\u201d.\n<\/p>\n
\n She said Momoa\u2019s personal assistant phoned ahead to ask for a more private table.\n<\/p>\n
\n The staff obliged, clearing an area in the bar, but Taylor said: \u201cWe didn\u2019t realise there was a total A-lister coming in.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

\n Despite Momoa\u2019s high profile onscreen appearances, which also include Game of Thrones and A Minecraft Movie, Taylor said the couple were \u201cjust like any other\u201d \u2013 \u201cbut nicer\u201d.\n<\/p>\n
\n \u201cThey were the nicest people,\u201d she said. \u201cThey had some good food, paid and left after saying thank you to everyone \u2013 they all remembered our names.\u201d\n<\/p>\n
\n The celebrities even enjoyed a York delicacy. \u201cThey really enjoyed the Osprey by Brew York,\u201d Taylor said. \u201cI think he [Momoa] had about four or five pints of it \u2013 the whole table was drinking it; they loved it.\u201d\n<\/p>\n
\n Momoa was also reported to have been spotted in Shambles while enjoying a tour around York.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Jason Momoa, who played superhero Aquaman in the DC Extended Universe, and his girlfriend, the actor Adria Arjona,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":400854,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[6491,96,56,54,55],"class_list":{"0":"post-400853","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-celebrities","8":"tag-celebrities","9":"tag-entertainment","10":"tag-uk","11":"tag-united-kingdom","12":"tag-unitedkingdom"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/400853","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=400853"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/400853\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/400854"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=400853"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=400853"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=400853"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
