Jason Momoa

Early life and education An only child, Momoa was bornJoseph Jason Namakaeha Momoain Honolulu, Hawaii, and raised in Norwalk, [4] Iowa, by his mother, Coni Momoa. His father was a Native Hawaiian and his mother was of German, Irish, and [1] Native American ancestry.

Career In 1998, Momoa returned to Hawaii, where he was discovered by international designer Takeo Kikuchi and launched his modeling career. In 1999, he won Hawaii's Model of the Year and hosted the Miss Teen Hawaii contest. In addition to his appearances inStargate: Atlantis, andGame of Thrones, Momoa has appeared as Jason Ioane (1999–2001) in the action drama seriesBaywatch Hawaii(1999–2001). He then portrayed the title protagonist in Conan the Barbarian, a a reimagining of the 1982 film of the same name and a role made famous by Arnold Schwarzenegger. After the shooting ofStargate AtlantisSeason 4 was over, Momoa had his dreadlocks cut off. Their weight had been giving him headaches, and even whiplash when filming action scenes. The program agreed with the decision and had planned to film a scene where Ronon cuts off his hair for Season 5's "Broken Ties", but that change was ultimately overruled by the Sci Fi network. On the first day of filming for Season 5, his dreadlocks were reattached, but the process was too taxing, forcing Momoa to switch to using his stunt double's wig until a custom wig could be made [5] [6] and delivered two weeks later. Momoa appeared as Roman in four episodes of the comedy-drama television seriesThe Game(2011).

Personal life [7] He is the nephew of surfers Brian Keaulana and Rusty Keaulana. On November 15, 2008, Momoa was slashed in the face with a broken beer glass at the Bird Cafe, a Hollywood, [8] [9] California club. He received around 140 stitches during reconstructive surgery, and his scars are apparent in his [8] later work. A 21-year-old Venice Beach, California resident was convicted of the crime and is serving a five-year [9] sentence at California Substance Abuse Treatment Facility and State Prison, Corcoran. [2] On July 23, 2007, his wife Lisa Bonet gave birth to their daughter, Lola Iolani Momoa. On December 15, 2008, Bonet and Momoa had a son, Nakoa-Wolf Manakauapo Namakaeha Momoa. The birth was first announced by Momoa's mother on the fan forums of his official site. She said that Nakoa means "warrior" and Mana stands for “strength/spirit,”while Kaua ("rain") and Po ("dark") pertain to the circumstances surrounding his birthday (he was [10] born on a rare bad-weather night in Los Angeles). He shares his other middle name, Namakaeha, with his father.
