And, trust us, you’ll want to know…
Now, who hasn’t heard of Jason Momoa?
Born in 1979, in Honolulu, Hawaii, the six-foot-four actor has recently become a household name.
He’s been the center of some of our favorite shows over the years…
And many don’t know that, before he started out as an actor, he actually studied both marine biology and wildlife biology — proving that he’s more than just a pretty face.
One of his first bigger roles was on Stargate: Atlantis.
The sci-fi military hybrid was actually fairly successful. Momoa starred as Ronon Dex, to much critical acclaim.
This thrusted him into the acting world…
And in 2011, Momoa was cast in the first series of Game of Thrones.
This was without a doubt what made his career.
Game of Thrones became far more successful than anyone could have ever imagined. And Momoa’s character, Khal Drogo, quickly became a fan favorite.
Despite the fact his character was pretty brutal…
As the leading warrior in the savage Dothraki tribe, Momoa was, unsurprisingly, pretty violent. In one particularly memorable scene, Drogo brutally murdered Viserys Targaryen by pouring molten gold onto his head.
But fans were more interested in his relationship with Daenerys…
In the early episodes of the show’s first season, Drogo was married to Daenerys Targaryen in an arranged ceremony.
Through trials and tribulations, they grew closer as a couple…
He was injured during a battle and that injury became infected. In order to save his life, Daenerys was forced to sacrifice her unborn son to a witch. But the Drogo that came back was alive in name only. He was without any consciousness and Daenerys was forced to euthanize him.
In spite of his early departure, Momoa is still a fan-fave in the Game of Thrones canon…
“I’m Aquaman. I’m in the f***ing water. Don’t worry about it,” he added. “I’m Hawaiian. We got saltwater on me. We good.”
His statement comes after stars such as Jake Gyllenhaal, Mila Kunis, Ashton Kutcher, and Kristen Bell admitted that they don’t shower every day.
