Jason Momoa is known for starring in “Aquaman” and playing Khal Drogo, husband of Daenerys Targaryen (Emilia Clarke), in the first season of “Game of Thrones.”
However, after passing through the HBO series, the horizon was not promising.
Debts and lack of work then marked Momoa’s professional life. This was revealed this November 10 in an interview with InStyle, where he accepted that it was difficult for him to pay the bills for his house in Los Angeles (USA), which he currently shares with his wife Lisa Bonet and their two children.
“I mean, we were starving after ‘Game of Thrones,'” the actor noted. “I couldn’t get a job. It is very challenging when you have babies and you are completely in debt, ”he added.
A similar revelation gave Momoa in 2019, when he said he was “broke to fly [by plane] home” during a break he took in the middle of filming the series based on the books by George R.R. Martin.
WHEN DID MOMOA’S SITUATION IMPROVE?
Jason Momoa’s situation began to change in 2016, after being cast as Aquaman for the film “Batman vs Superman: Dawn of Justice.” This first foray as the maritime superhero made it possible for the interpreter to be part of “Justice League” and “Aquaman.”
Currently, Momoa cannot believe the height of her career, so much so that when she saw the trailer for “Dune”, her reaction was one of astonishment. “It was’ Josh Brolin, Jason Momoa, Javier Bardem, ‘and I was like,’ Oh my God. I can’t believe my name was with those names, ‘”he said.
“I feel that I am still a child, going crazy,” added the 41-year-old interpreter who also recounted the uncertainty of becoming a father because he did not grow up with a father figure. In the interview, the popular Aquaman stressed the importance of being vulnerable.
“I mean, I am a warrior, and I will quit. But I’m also the first to say: ‘I have a lot of problems and I want to be able to correct those problems,’ “he said. “We all have the feminine and masculine side of us, and we need to embrace both,” he concluded.
Actor Jason Momoa began his career with a role in “Baywatch,” which he obtained after lying about being a professional model. Since then, he has had television roles on the well-known series “Stargate Atlantis”, “Game of Thrones” and “Frontier”.
