The costumes in Aquaman are immensely impressive from a visual standpoint, but as Jason Momoa explains, they aren’t the easiest things to navigate when you have to go to the bathroom.

Momoa talked about the gorgeous new costumes alongside Mera’s Amber Heard in a new interview, and during the clip he explained that while the suits are beautiful to look at, it is quite difficult to work with if you have to poo, or as he calls it, having the “poopsies”.
‘It looks like it’s easy to pee in that, but really it’s not,” Momoa told EW. “And if you have the poopsies, it is very challenging. You’ve gotta be really good at holding it.’
It’s also got to be stressful if you do have to go but you don’t want to derail a scene or setup, as literally everyone is going to know why they are waiting around. No one needs that kind of stress when they’re trying to do their business.
Heard also shared some thoughts on getting into her costume, which was even more challenging, though she thinks the designers of superhero costumes should get their own category in the future with how much work goes into these suits.
“My input in regards to my costume was mostly complaining while being sucked and vacuum sealed into it (laughs). I mean really, we had some…I think there should be a whole category of awards for people who create functional, I mean that’s a whole other level of functional art. I mean our costumes are…they’re so intricate and the design is so, I mean you have to move in it, breathe in it, live in it,” Heard said.
