”I think I remember going over to his house one time, playing video games,” Routh told 9honey Celebrity ahead of his appearance at Metro Comic Con in Melbourne this weekend.

“But we weren’t like friend-friends, but we were teammates.”

Routh speculates that Momoa, like himself, was a bit lonely during their school years.

“I was very lonely because I didn’t have any friends after, like, middle school,” Routh revealed.

Momoa and Routh did ultimately reunite in Iowa, Routh said, when they were both around 25 – one year earlier, Routh had been cast as Superman/Clark Kent in Superman Returns.

“It was the first time I’d seen him in, like, eight or 10 years,” Routh explained.

“And that was great. It was like, I finally got to know [Momoa]. It was kind of really cool.”
