When Jason Momoa stopped by The Ellen DeGeneres show, he couldn’t stop his excitement about the important cause he’s been promoting and admitted that he had some pre-show jitters talking about it.

“I was very nervous because I came on to talk about something that I love dearly. Our mother earth and what I can do to help. I have a mission to get rid of single-use plastic water bottles. To clean up our oceans and land. To ask ourselves how we hydrate. Even though I may carry a canteen to try to reduce these plastics are still being made. All I’m trying to do is give the US an option. Do my part. The world needs changes and this is another option. Aluminum is the most recyclable packaging available, it’s infinitely recyclable. A can can be recycled and be on a shelf again in 60 days. A plastic bottle will never be a plastic bottle again,” he wrote on Instagram.

He told DeGeneres that his role in Aquaman had been part of his motivation to begin a sustainable water company called Mananalu. “I’m Aquaman now and I have all these little beautiful kids come up to me, and I never thought I’d be a role model. So I wanted to save the planet from single-use plastics.”

After the interview, it was time to throw some axes for charity.

“So here’s the thing, because we throw footballs and baseballs, everyone kind of turns it like this,” Momoa explained to DeGeneres, demonstrating the right way to throw an axe. “It has to go straight over your head … it has to go right with the grain.”

Within 45 seconds, Momoa raised $31,000 for the beach cleanup charity called Sustainable Coastlines Hawaii. Check out the video below.

Ellen DeGeneres recently helped another story get a happy ending by reuniting two long-lost childhood friends after 12 years.

Back in late November, Virginia-based teen Brianna Cry decided to ask the Twitter community for help. She explained that she met a young girl in 2006 during a family vacation and that they became instant best friends for the night. After 12 years, Brianna found a photo of them at her grandmother’s house and wanted to reconnect, so she hoped Twitter would help her in this quest.

Only 11 hours later, Twitter responded and found that the girl from the photo is 18-year-old California-based Heidi Tran.

After DeGeneres heard about this story, she decided to get both girls on the show and organize a face-to-face reunion. She also surprised both girls giving each of them $10,000 to help their education.

You can check out this heartwarming reunion in the video below.

Ellen DeGeneres, the host of The Ellen Show, recently decided to play a little holiday-themed prank on the customers of the popular retail chain, Michaels. She sent Adam, one of the writers on her show, to the local Michaels store and had him offering services of free gift wrapping.

The unaware customers didn’t know that there are hidden cameras all over the place and that Adam’s job was to do his task in a most terrible way possible. This, of course, led to several hilarious and highly amusing situations.

 After being really helpful and providing instructions to one lady on where to find Christmas decorations, Adam got his first customers. Two women approached his desk and asked to get three gifts wrapped agreeing to “express service.”

They soon realized their mistake and decided to call the store’s manager to look into Adam’s lousy gift wrapping. When that didn’t help, they just decided to stop trying and watched in disbelief. Others customers soon followed, making this an amusing day for Adam and all of us who get to watch their reactions.

If you want to know what happens when wrapping gifts goes terribly wrong, check out the video below.
