   It is a Maori 'Hongi' or greeting.  From the NZ movie "Kiaora Bro.. Did you Bring a Beer?"

            Well, I think on his mother's side, he is, but he was born in Cali, USA. He's "racially ambiguous", I guess.

   Yeah. I did too when I was younger. I didn't like him that much- he ripped off Steve Austin too much.
   
   That Maori dance- that's the Haka, isn't it? I've seen the All Blacks use it so many times, even though I'm not really into rugby.

   Lol  @ goodfriend
   ,no the picture was taken at Marae ( Maori meeting house) I think one of the tourist re-inactment demo of traditions etc.
   
   But if you ever travel downunder to New Zealand ,and visit a marae, you will be greeted exactly like that , gentle press of the nose if not well ya can always read my NZ hubs
