Game of Thrones’ Jason Momoa doesn’t want his kids to pursue acting
It is quite common to see successful people often pushing their children to follow in their own footsteps in the name of legacy. Well, that’s not the case with Game of Thrones and Aquaman star Jason Momoa, who loves to break stereotypes. Momoa doesn’t want his children to follow in his footsteps.
In an interview with ETonline, Jason, who is a father of two children, shared that he doesn’t want his kids to pursue acting. The 42-year-old actor said, “Aw man, one of them wants to do it and I’m not a fan,” Momoa said. “I don’t want them to.”
“I don’t know. I’ll try my damnedest to keep ‘em out of it,” he added. “I love storytelling, I love theatrical things, I like directing and filmmaking, but I just want them to, you know, really to go for other things.”
“If they (really) want to, maybe,” adding, “But I don’t want them to get into acting. It’s very hard on people and I don’t want them to have that pressure. I’m tough, I can handle it, but I wouldn’t want to put someone I love (through) that.”
The ‘Aquaman’ actor shares daughter Lola, 14, and son Nakoa-Wolf, 12½, with wife Lisa Bonet. The couple is married since 2017.
