Jason Momoa Revealed Why He’s Absolutely Terrified Of His Wife
On screen, no one messes with Jason Momoa. The actor has, of course, played some iconic tough-guy roles in recent years. These include Conan the Barbarian and Aquaman, as well as Khal Drogo in the immensely popular Game of Thrones TV series. But Momoa’s hardman image apparently crumbles when he’s around his actress wife Lisa Bonet.
Momoa has become quite the Hollywood action hero in recent years. His breakout role arguably came after he played Conan the Barbarian in a 2011 remake of the classic eponymous movie. Though Momoa is very much a modern star of the screen and has carved out a real creative niche for himself.
Yet in his union with Bonet, Momoa also enjoys life as a husband and father. This is one tough-guy movie star who is very different off-screen. In fact, Momoa gave some fascinating insights into the pecking order at home as he spoke both glowingly – and cautiously – about his actor wife. For her part, Bonet became a child star after appearing in The Cosby Show for many years. And her relationship with Momoa very much resembles that of a quintessential Hollywood power couple.
Joseph Jason Namakaeha Momoa was born in Honolulu to a Hawaiian father and a mother from Iowa in 1979. Certainly, the actor’s look suggests that he has embraced his island heritage. You could also argue that it has helped him secure some exotic character roles. Momoa grew up in Iowa with his mother, but he returned to Hawaii after completing high school.
Momoa’s first big break came when he secured a role in the hit TV series Baywatch. He also reprised the role of Jason Ioane in a follow-up TV movie for the franchise in 2003. Though in between, the actor sought some life experience and went traveling around the world. Upon his return, he then settled in Los Angeles.
