"Aquaman" star Jason Momoa has admitted he is yet to see the
blockbuster film, as he promised his kids he'd wait and watch
blockbuster film, as he promised his kids he'd wait and watch
with them.
Speaking on Friday's Graham Norton Show, the former "Games
of Thrones" actor said: "Here's the thing. I have two babies
aged 10 and 11. They were on set for the whole filming and they
made me promise them I wouldn't watch it until I can watch
it with them.
"I want to share it with my children and sit and hold their
hands — it's a rare moment for a father and generally, they
can't watch the things I do!"
Momoa, known elsewhere for his role as Khal Drogo in "Game
of Thrones," admitted that acting roles "dried up" when he
left the show.
"I didn't get much work after that. I mean, what do you do
with that - he (his character) doesn't speak English, he's not
funny and he just hurts people. I played that character well so
it was a bit challenging afterwards. People would literally say,
'Wow, you speak English!'"
However, his latest role is sure to put him back on the map.
Taking place after the events of "Justice League," "Aquaman"
sees Momoa play the role of Arthur Curry/Aquaman.
Early reviews of the film, which does not come out until Friday,
December 21 in the US, have been positive.
It even made $94 million during its debut in China, making it
the highest-grossing movie in the world for the weekend
despite being two weeks away from its US premiere.
At the blue carpet premiere of the Warner Bros. Pictures film
in Hollywood on Wednesday, Momoa even made headlines
for leading a rugby-style haka with other members of the cast.
"It's very exciting," Momoa told Norton. "I don't think we've
ever gone under water quite like this before. It's very new.
"Technology and CGI have been taken to a whole other level. I
was a guinea pig this time so now we'll figure out how to make
it even better."
On the moment he first found out he'd be playing Aquaman,
he added: "2013 and I was literally broke - but the future
would be bright! I couldn't say anything to anyone for years
and I can't keep a secret to save my life.
"It was very hard for me so, I am glad we are now here."
