In the 19th year of his career, Jason caused a stir with his leading role in Aquaman - the blockbuster hit based on DC comics. Jason Momoa's tall figure (1.93m), masculine, rough and wild beauty really fits the image of "Ocean Lord".

Before this success, Jason Momoa was quite lost and struggling in Hollywood. He has a different style from most A-list actors. At interviews and press conferences, famous actors behave spontaneously. On the red carpet of the S.uicide Squad movie premiere in 2016, while Henry Cavill appeared dashing in a suit, Momoa in a T-shirt and jeans rushed to hug Cavill from behind. He danced the Haka at the Aquaman launch ceremony in Los Angeles (USA) and caused controversy when writing a message mocking Marvel (DC's rival company) on a poster in 2015.

Momoa's distinction is partly due to his background. The actor was born in 1979 in Honolulu to a father of Hawaiian descent and a mother from the American Midwest. They separated when Momoa was young and he went to live with his mother in Iowa.

In 1999, the famous TV series Baywatch held a casting call and the actor surpassed 1,300 other actors to take on the role of lifeguard Jason Ioane. Even though she only appeared in two seasons, Momoa realized her love for acting. However, most directors or producers do not appreciate Baywatch actors - who are mainly chosen for their appearance. Even though he entered the entertainment industry at the age of 19, Jason Momoa stuck with supporting roles for several years. When he starred in Conan: The Barbarian , he failed again. This work, invested 90 million USD, only earned less than 50 million USD, quickly sinking into oblivion.

Only in the first season of Game of Thrones in 2011 did the name Jason Momoa really gain attention. When she heard about this project, Momoa auditioned for the role of Khal Drogo - the powerful leader of the Dothraki clan living on the steppe. At the casting session, the actor did something unexpected: danced the traditional Haka dance of Maori culture. It is a war dance made famous around the world through pre-match performances by New Zealand sports teams.

Seven months after the audition, Momoa learned he had been chosen. "The Haka dance helped me get the role. My heart was b.eating fast and I'm sure the people present were too," he shared.

Even though he only appeared in the first season of the historical series, the actor made a strong impression. After the series aired, the impression of Khal Drogo was so strong that many people believed that Jason Momoa... did not know English, as he shared on Jimmy Fallon's show. To this day, many viewers still remember the proud and wild character Khal Drogo of Game of Thrones .

After this success, Momoa began to open his own film production company with the capital accumulated with his wife Lisa Bonet. In 2014, the actor released the movie Road to Paloma , in which he held the positions of producer, director and script co-author. Next, he participated in the Netflix television series Frontier and directed a few episodes himself.

When Warner Bros. Looking for an actor to play Batman, Momoa signed up even though he found it difficult to get a chance. But luckily for Momoa, Batman v Superman director Zack Snyder saw in him the qualities to play another DC hero - Aquaman. At that stage, Snyder was considered the general architect of the DC Cinematic Universe. The filmmaker's choice surprised many fans because the original character in the comics had white skin and short blonde hair, different from Momoa.

Aquaman debuted to the audience with a brief scene in Batman v Superman (2016), before joining the Justice League heroes in the movie of the same name a year later. Although the work was disappointing, the actor's acting attracted attention. While co-stars Ben Affleck (Batman) and Henry Cavill (Superman) are at risk of having their roles cut, Momoa is still trusted. And under director James Wan, Aquaman won big with more than 300 million USD even though it was not shown in the US.
