Whether he’s playing a Dothraki warlord or the King of Atlantis, actor Jason Momoa’s all-out approach to life trickles down to everything he does, especially his training
This is a man who doesn’t measure life in units of time but depth of experience. One who appears to live beyond limits, more recently the terrestrial kind, diving into everything – from scale-plated spandex to a pint of his favoured Guinness – with the gusto of, well, an amphibious superhuman.
“I’m all about just having the best goddamn day I can have,” says Momoa of his full throttle approach to life. “If my wife tells me we’re having spaghetti bolognese for dinner I will work so much harder because I know we’re going to have a great night. I can train hard as long as I know there’s a reward. As long as I know there’s going to be a barbecue or something fun at the end of the night and we’re going to have a couple of beers and celebrate, that’s it for me. I don’t like going to bed not having celebrated something. Life is too short.”
He’s right of course. And it’s an attitude that appeals, regardless of what your age happens to be.
