Get to know the handsome hunk in the big, splashing year-end movie, Aquaman. Say hi to Jason Momoa.
He’s tall, dark, scruffy and good-looking. Standing at 6ft 5in with a great build, Jason Momoa is certainly a physical specimen to behold. While some may remember him from popular TV series such as Baywatch: Hawaii, Stargate Atlantis or Game of Thrones, in December, he showcases his biggest role yet as Aquaman.
BORN BY THE WATERS
Jason Momoa, 39, was born in Honolulu, Hawaii to Coni and Joseph Momoa. His mother, who was an artist, raised him as a single mother in Iowa, USA. While growing up in the Midwest, Jason recalled his mother introducing him to skateboarding, rock climbing, painting and music – hobbies he still carries with him to this day.
While growing up, Jason had never imagined himself as an actor. “Everyone thought I was crazy, but I wanted to write, direct and produce movies. I didn’t want to act… I love telling stories. I might not be right for the story – I have a particular look, and sometimes I fit and sometimes I don’t. I like being a part of the whole process, not just doing my acting job and leaving,” he revealed in an interview with Entertainment Weekly. His dream came true in 2014 when he directed and co-wrote Road to Paloma (2014), a film he also starred in alongside his wife Lisa Bonet (famous for playing Denise Huxtable in The Cosby Show).
