"So homesick. Looking through my phone I found this. Off the road some quiet parking lot in donegal. It was an amazing simple moment with my best friend @captainriff," Momoa wrote on Sunday, referring to producer Brian Andrew Mendoza.

Momoa added: "While filming GOT we had a lil break We were to broke to fly home so we rented a panel van aka UHAUL in Belfast and drove around beautiful amazing IRELAND searching for the greatest pint of Guinness. Turns out it's perfect everywhere. So many wonderful people and stories I treasure those times It was the simplest moments I remember the most. I still miss my family."

Momoa, 39, is married to actress Lisa Bonet. They have two children together. Game of Thrones wrapped up its eighth and final season earlier this month.
