Jason Momoa Hasn"t Always Been A Hollywood Tough Guy




Joseph Jason Namakaeha Momoa was born on August 1, 1979. He is of Hawaiian descent on his father’s side, and mostly German descent on his mother’s side. Most people know the actor from his time on Game of Thrones as Khal Drogo and recently Aquaman in Justice League. But you may be surprised by these facts for everyone’s favorite Hollywood cool guy.











1. Jason was born in Hawaii but was raised by his mom in Iowa. 


Jason at 13 years old. 




2. After High School, Jason moved back to Hawaii and joined the cast of Baywatch: Hawaii


Per his IMDb biography, “I was 19 and folding T-shirts in a surf shop. And I got chosen out of 1,300 people to play a leading role on Baywatch Hawaii. I didn’t even know how to act. It took me five years to get an agent after [that]. No one would take me seriously after Baywatch. I lived in the shadow of that for a long time.”











3. Jason landed his first big role as Ronon Dex on Stargate: Atlantis


His Stargate role helped him gain enough recognition to launch his acting career. 




4. In 2008, Jason had a drinking glass smashed over his face at a bar. 


This resulted in 140 stitches, reconstructive surgery, and a pretty awesome scar over his eyebrow. The scar is now a trademark look of his.
