10 Worst Performances In The DCEU (So Far)
3. Kekoa Kekumano - Young Aquaman
Yikes.
Mercifully, this was just a one-scene role but even so, thanks to how bad Kekoa Kekumano's acting was, this no doubt took pretty much everyone right out of the movie.
Criticising a young actor is never fun, but Kekumano clearly wasn't the right choice for this. Hell, he was out-acted by the child actor who played an even younger Aquaman in a couple of scenes earlier on.
His line delivery was so awful and his attempts to express frustration and sadness were so unintentionally hilarious that what should've been a powerful scene in which Aquaman found out his mother is presumed dead is instead a complete wreck of a movie moment that is impossible to take seriously.
The only reason he isn't higher is because it was such a small part. If it had been bigger, it... well, it probably would've been number one.
