Jason Momoa and Zendaya honoured at star-studded GQ Men of the Year Awards in Sydney

The GQ Men of the Year Awards took place last night with Jason Momoa and Zendaya taking out the top titles in front of a star-studded audience.

The Aquaman star was recognised not only for his contribution to film, but also the way he's been using his celebrity to impact changes around the world — the 40-year-old recently spoke about the need to take action against climate change at a recent United Nations summit.

"Never in a million years did I think I would be the 2019 GQ International Man of the Year, it's a true honour," he said via video link at last night's event, before joking, "Unfortunately, I've only got a month left to enjoy my crown. But I'm really stoked that I got to beat all the Hemsworths because… You know… I finally deserve this."

In his speech, the actor added that he had fallen in love with Australia while filming Aquaman on our shores back in 2017.

"Also, Australia, you know I love you," said Momoa, who starred opposite Nicole Kidman in the film. "I hope I get to come down there for Aquaman 2 and thank you very much for this. Yeah, mate!"

Meanwhile, Spider-Man: Homecoming star Zendaya was also honoured at the ceremony, with the actress crowned the GQ Woman of the Year.

"Woman of the Year — that's kinda crazy considering I'm 23 years old and I'm just trying to figure out how to become a young woman myself," she told the crowd which consisted of a string of stars, including Baz Luhrmann, Sophie Monk and Julie Bishop. 

"It's a huge honour," Zendaya added. "I feel like… sometimes, you forget to just kind of stop and take in moments like this. Sometimes I work so much, I forget about life."
