Recently, the movie Aquaman: King of Atlantis has received the acceptance and support of a large audience around the world. Besides the content of the movie, viewers are also extremely attracted by the beauty of the actors, especially Jason Momoa. Below are 6 interesting facts about the actor of the DC cinematic universe.

Jason Momoa started his career as a model

Like many famous actors, Jason Momoa started his career as a model. At the age of 19, while working part-time at a surf shop, he caught the eye of a designer and became a young model.

He won the 1999 Model of the Year contest in Hawaii with his good looks and charm. Soon after his modeling career took off, Jason took advantage of the opportunity to develop his acting career by beating out over 1,000 other hopefuls to land the lead role in the hit TV series Baywatch Hawaii (1999-2001).

Jason Momoa studied Oceanography

This is quite a coincidence for the actor who plays the king of Atlantis Aquaman.

Jason Momoa also has a deep love for the ocean and Polynesian culture. After graduating from high school, Jason began studying marine biology at a college in Iowa because he wanted to spend his life in the ocean.

He has a distinctive scar on his eyebrow.

Few people know that there is a story behind Jason Momoa’s famous left eyebrow scar. The reason is that he got into an argument at a bar in LA. The bar manager broke Jason’s glass in his face. As a result, the actor had to get 140 stitches and was left with a scar on his left eyebrow. Instead of trying to cover it up, Jason has adopted the scar as a distinctive feature on his face.

In fact, Jason got this scar right before he was cast for the role of Khal Drogo in Game of Thrones, and the scar suddenly became very suitable for the fight scenes in the movie.

His son has a super long name.

Jason Momoa’s son has a super long name. He and his wife, Lisa Bonet, named their son Nakoa-Wolf Manakauapo Namakaeha. Each part of their son’s name has a special meaning. Nakoa means warrior and Mana means brave, which is what Jason and Lisa wanted their son to be. Kaua, which means rain, and Po, which means darkness, describe the strange weather on the day of his birth in 2008. And, Namakaeha is Jason’s middle name.

As a man who loves his wife very much

Despite appearing on the silver screen with many hot actresses, Jason Momoa is only loyal to Lisa Bonet, his wife who is 12 years older than him.

The actor also declared that Lisa will always be the queen in his heart with harmony in all aspects of personality and marriage with her is the dream he has longed for all his life.

Jason Momoa has a multi-ethnic appearance

Jason Momoa was born in 1979, an only child and was born into an artistic family; his mother was a photographer and his father was a painter. In addition, the actor’s parents gave him a multi-ethnic appearance. Jason’s father is Hawaiian, while his mother is of German, Irish and American descent.

Jason was born in Hawaii, but spent most of his childhood with his mother in Iowa. He later returned to Hawaii with his father and rediscovered his native Hawaiian roots. And that’s where Jason Momoa’s career as a Hollywood star took off.
