A YouTube video of actor Jason Momoa's "Game of Thrones" audition has gone viral, E! News reports.

The popular video features Momoa performing a traditional New Zealand dance known as the haka, according to E! News.

In the video, Momoa recites a chant along with the dance that is generally performed before rugby matches by the New Zealand All Blacks team, says Us Weekly.

Momoa's viral audition video has garnered almost 2 million views on YouTube. Check out the video below.

Although Momoa's "Game of Thrones" character Khal Drogo only lasted one season, Drogo still remains a fan favorite on the hit HBO show, says E! News.

Momoa's initial "Game of Thrones" audition consisted of a script with very few lines for Drogo, Momoa explained to AOL in an interview. Because of the few lines, Momoa opted to perform the New Zealand dance to stand out and showcase his talent.

Momoa's latest project involves him playing Aquaman in the upcoming Warner Bros. film "Batman v Superman" alongside Ben Affleck as Batman, Henry Cavill as Superman and Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman, Us Weekly reports.

The "Batman v Superman" movie is scheduled to hit theaters on March 25, 2016.

During a recent appearance at the Walker Stalker conference in Atlanta, Comic Book reports, Momoa talked about his new role as Aquaman and revealed his challenge with keeping his role a secret to the public -- until now.

"Listen, I was asked to play [Aquaman]. You know, you audition and stuff like that, but the fact is you've just got to keep it quiet," he revealed. "You know what I mean, I was just trying to respect Warner Bros. and everyone's wishes. I'm really, really happy that I don't have to be quiet anymore, because that's really hard for me."

Momoa also explained that he intended to use his Polynesian heritage to help him embody the role.

"The greatest thing for me is that Polynesians, our gods, Kahoali, Maui, all these water gods, so it's really cool and a honor to be playing a [water] character," he continued. " And there's not too many brown superheroes, so I'm really looking forward to representing the Polynesians, the natives."
