It was recently reported that Natalya received a phone call from hunky actor Jason Momoa. The Game Of Thrones, Braven and erm...Aquaman star personally requested that Nattie co-star with him in the upcoming Wrestler 2 movie. It was an opportunity someone who was once booked to fart for a living couldn't turn down.

She didn't have to.

Natalya posted on Twitter to reveal the sad truth: "Momoa: was 'no-moah'. In fact, the gent she spoke to over the phone wasn't even Jason at all. It was someone catfishing the bejesus out of the WWE starlet instead; that whole scene filmed for Total Divas was a ruse, one producers might/might not have been in on.

To clarify, Jason Momoa didn't personally phone up Natalya and ask her to be this generation's Marisa Tomei to his Mickey Rourke. Maybe big Khal Drogo will catch wind of this though and give Nattie a text. He'll need some wrestling training anyway.
