17 Pics Of Jason Momoa That Will Make Any Woman Sweat
If you've been living under a rock for the past few years, you have no idea who actor Jason Momoa is, and for that, we feel deeply sorry for you. Not only is the 38-year-old actor a model as well, the man happens to be a WRITER AND DIRECTOR AND PRODUCER too. And yes, that's a lot of intellectual hotness for one single man. He barged his way into our hearts and minds back in 2011 when he portrayed the ruggedly handsome/dangerous/seductive character Khal Drogo on HBO's hit series Game of Thrones. As those who watch the show tragically know, you shouldn't fall too much in love with a single character because they might be offed at any moment just like (spoiler alert!) Drogo was. Luckily, Momoa has been kind enough to grace us with his hotness on films like Conan the Barbarian, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, Justice League, and Aquaman. And until two of those movies are released, let us show you 17 of the hottest pictures of our precious Momoa so you can get all your drools out now.
17 Um, It's Getting a Little Hot In Here…
As I said before, Momoa is just not another pretty face with some very (VERY) pretty abs. He also has a creative mind and soul as well. Back in 2014, he wrote, directed, and produced the film Road to Paloma, a drama about a man who takes the life of his mother's attacker after her death and heads out on the road in order to flee law enforcement and spread his mother's ashes. The film released incredibly positive reviews at the Sarasota Film Festival and was released in North America, the United Kingdom, Australia, and New Zealand. By the time the film was released, the world had already got to know Momoa and his serious hotness by way of Game of Thrones, but his sensitive side took over when promoting this particular brainchild of his.
16 JUST LOOK AT HIM!
Nothing, and I repeat, NOTHING is hotter than a beautiful man carrying an adorable little baby in a costume (you can try to top it, but seriously - you never will). Though he may be built literally like Conan, he's nothing but a gentle giant and it shows. Momoa has been married to actress Lisa Bonet since 2007 and the gorgeous duo has two children, daughter Lola lolani and son Wolf Manakauapo Namakaeha (Nakoa means “warriors” and Mana means “strength/spirit”). If you take a peek at his Instagram, Momoa's timeline is littered with pictures of his own children and the children of friends (and even little ones he meets on the sets of his films). The attention he showers on his own children is enough to warm even Drogo's cold, dead heart.
15 Just Your Average Super Hot Couple Doing Average Super Hot Couple Things
You can try with all your might, but if you're a hot-as-heck acting couple, you just can't simply run away from the glaring eyes of the paparazzi and their camera flashes. This was the case for Momoa and Bonet here when they were caught coming out of their local Whole Foods after spending some time grocery shopping. What's heartwarming here is that the couple is chill enough and humble enough to do all their own mundane, household chores instead of enlisting the help of personal assistants. However, when you look at this shot, you barely even notice all the groceries because LOOK AT HIS FREAKING HUGE, BEAUTIFUL ARMS. I'm pretty sure the man can carry all the items in that cart with little to no effort. I, for one, would pay to see that, actually.
14 Because OF COURSE He Plays An Instrument
You may have noticed some of the videos floating around YouTube of Momoa playing the guitar on the set of Justice League and if you haven't, you best get on that and watch the videos. Zack Snyder, the director of the big budget film, himself even posted a picture of Momoa decked out in full Aquaman costume holding a guitar. “Jason Momoa is ready to rock as Aquaman in Justice League,” EW.com reported. “A new set photo from the DC film, revealed by director Zack Snyder on social media, sees the actor dressed as the Atlantean heor while strumming a guitar.” Back in 2008, Momoa graced the stage at a Stargate convention and after his performance, he auctioned off the guitar in order to support the Make A Wish Foundation.
13 So Very Much In Love
Even though they've been together since 2005, both Momoa and Bonet still are very much in love with each other and actually prove that true love exists somewhere in this cold world. They're often seen walking the red carpet together, gazing into each other's eyes, completely oblivious to the crowd surrounding them. They keep their love alive by doing small things for each other - like surprising one spouse on the set of a movie. Bonet did this on Momoa's 38th birthday when he was stuck in Queensland, Australia shooting a movie and brought along their two children. “I have never been so surprised in my life,” Momoa said on Instagram. “38 is the greatest to date. I love u my loveee, my babies, my friends, and OHANA to my cast and crew. Mahalo for caring. It was so beautiful. Mahalos to all the warriors It was an honor. #mindblown. #roots #connected #mytribe aloha j.”
12 Don't Go Chasing Waterfalls
I would say that Aquaman is in his element here, but he's only sitting near fresh water and not fighting off bad guys in the middle of the ocean. But man, is nature ever lucky to be in the presence of such masculine beauty. Momoa has gone on the record and claimed to be at his happiness when he's parading through the wilderness and proved this while filming the Netflix series Frontier. “Some of my favorite movies are [ones] where it looks like ****ing hell to have shot them,” Momoa told Esquire during an interview. “The rain and the dirt and mud - it makes it easier to act. I was in a green room for seven months waving my arms at nothing.” (of course, Momoa is referencing his Aquaman character).
11 His Khaleesi
The world collectively fell in love with Momoa when he played the warrior leader of the Dothraki Khal Drogo on Game of Thrones. Sure, his character was demanding and rather frightening in the beginning when he was first introduced to his future wife Daenerys Targaryen (Emilia Clarke), the mother of dragons herself. But just as he won over his Khaleesi, he won over audiences. Fans were able to witness the two characters' uneasy start that eventually turned into a passionate marriage. However, we were crushed when Drogo was injured during a battle and eventually dies after a woman posing as a godswife poisons his wound and sends him into a permanent vegetative state. His Khaleesi eventually kills him herself to end his suffering all while breaking the hearts of fans all over the world.
10 Even Clean Shaven…
Sure, most of us are used to Momoa with a full-on beard that goes along with that long, wind-blown hair, but even when he's clean-shaven he reeks of hot. Usually, Momoa plays characters that are rugged and all-mighty. “I identified with this outcast thing, and I really loved it,” Momoa said of playing Declan Harp in the Netflix series Frontier. “I don't think a lot of people are calling me to play doctors and lawyers, which is fine with me. I can put a suit on, but I don't really like to.” Now his fans, on the other hand, would LOVE to see him in a suit all lawyered up, but heck, the man would look good just wearing a potato sack so we're probably good with whatever role he decides to take - even if it is just a guest spot on Grey's Anatomy (paging Shonda Rhimes, paging Shonda Rhimes!).
9 You Do Your Thing, Aquaman
When casting was announced that Momoa would play the famed comic book underwater hero Aquaman in Zach Snyder's version of Justice League, no one was too surprised (maybe some of us were because who really wanted to play Aquaman in the first place?). Even though he's been shot to fame at a rocket pace and enjoys the attention he gets as an actor, he wants nothing more than to be behind the camera. “I ultimately want to be behind the camera,” the hunk said during an interview. “There are a lot of stories I want to be a part of that I'm not necessarily right for, and there's a lot of people I want to invest in because I think they're amazing artists. I want to help those artists tell stories. But I'm always creating.”
8 Silly Is As Silly Does
If you stalk Momoa's Instagram closely (like, uh… some of us do), you'll notice the man is basically a giant dork - but a massively hot dork. He appears to never take life seriously and why should he? His fun-loving, charismatic side always seems to pop out in nearly every personal photo he takes (like this one for example where he looks like the rock formation is about to crush his perfect form). A man is always instantly a billion times hotter when they have a sense of humor and don't take themselves too seriously. Of course, it doesn't take that much to make Jason any hotter than he already is - but having a silly side is definitely working for his fans. But please, no more that look like you're about ready to be crushed to death - our hearts couldn't handle that.
7 Besties For Life
If you do happen to follow Jason's Instagram, you'd notice how very close he is to former Game of Thrones co-star Emilia Clarke. Now, now - I know what you're thinking, but their fun-loving relationship has always been platonic since Momoa is happily married and settled into family life. Clarke and Momoa grew extremely close while playing married couple Daenerys Targaryen and Khal Drogo and both were devastated when Momoa's character was killed off (but, I mean, come on - read the books and you'll discover that in a heartbeat). But, like true blue friends, the two support each other endlessly on social media. Momoa posted this particular picture when he was watching his former Khaleesi kick some serious butt a couple of seasons ago. He continued his support this last season when Daenerys joined forces with Jon Snow (Kit Harington), the King of the North. It's really such a cute friendship.
6 The Perfect Father
A couple months back, a film from Carhartt Handmade Films called Fathers Talking Fatherhood came out and it featured Momoa reflecting on what it means to be a father while teaching his children, Lola and Nakoa-Wolf to climb. “My dreams finally came true,” Momoa says in the video. “I'm a father. I found my place, my home.” Jason is also a stepfather to Lisa's 28-year old actress daughter Zoe Kravitz, her daughter from her previous marriage to rock star Lenny Kravitz. If you're familiar with Jason's Instagram, you know it features his children at almost every turn along with his work on film and TV sets. He's said before that he really doesn't feel like himself when he's away from his kids, but he's lucky enough to have the love of a woman who will fly them overseas to simply surprise him and brighten his day.
5 OMG, HE'S PERFECT
After a long hard day, some women like to unwind by soaking in a hot bubble bath with a glass of red wine. And you know who else unwinds that way? Jason Freaking Momoa, that's who. Sure, he has a tough exterior (that seems to fold whenever he speaks of his wife and children), but he appears to be a sap who isn't afraid to admit that he pampers himself when he's stressed. Heck, he isn't even afraid of dropping his phone on his face in the bathtub either (as it would appear). Momoa has been hitting the pavement running non-stop since he first broke onto the scene, so you really can't blame him for relaxing so very hard. The man deserves it (however, you know what would make this photo more epic? Bubbles!).
4 Workout Monster
Apparently, Momoa and to push himself to the limit in order to prepare for the role of Aquaman, even though he was already in pretty good shape before. He had to work out at least 2 hours a day, 5-6 days a week in which resulted in the actor developing an EIGHT PACK - yep, you read that right. “There's too many people to thank for all their hard work,” Momoa wrote on his Instagram after posting a photo of one of his intense workouts for Justice League. “Tonight is our wrap party. I am so thankful for my cast and crew. I love you. I have never in my life missed a wrap party but as you all know I'm a huge fan of the food and merriment!!! Unfortunately, I have to prepare for the north. For those that will be there, I WON'T let you down.”
3 The Smile That Will Melt Your Heart
This has to be one of Momoa's best looks - long hair, somewhat rugged beard, and that killer smirk that would bring you to your knees in 2.3 seconds. You know what also helps? That despite his size and hotness, he's a romantic at heart. “I think a man needs to be a man,” Momoa once said. “To hold a woman the way she wants to be held. Just do whatever your woman wants, and you'll be fine.” Of course, he was referring to wife Lisa there. “She's so amazing,” Jason told HuffPost Live. “She's an angel. She's amazing. God bless her. I always wanted to work with her. It's funny [though] - she made me shy.” We can't imagine that, but jeez, is she a lucky woman to have that smirk all to herself. And, of course, he's a very lucky man too.
2 Wifey Joins In The Madness
As you can see by this photo, Lisa is an incredibly supportive wife and encourages him while he's getting in shape (or rather superhero shape) for a movie role. However, he was never always this ripped and even considered just a “pretty boy with no brains” his entire life. “People are like, 'Momoa's got his shirt off again!'” he said during an interview with the NYPost. “It's not funny! I grew up in the Midwest. I'm raised to actually think, to use my brain.” He says he pretty much ignores being objectified and just concentrates on the job he's doing at hand. Back in 2000, he really does look every bit the “pretty boy” he was once called with his face clean shaven and his hair sporting that weird N'Sync-ish vibe. We prefer him this way, to be honest.
1 Be Still, Our Hearts
You'd have to be dead not to notice Momoa and his handsome, rugged features and soft eyes (yes, those are some very soft, loving eyes) especially in this photo where he's looking at the camera like it's his wife. This photo was taken back before he actually became hugely famous in 2005, around the time he was sporting his dreadlocks (which seriously seemed to work on him). It's hard to believe there was a time before women were drooling all over this hunk of a human being. While we seriously miss his character on Game of Thrones we're looking forward to watching more movies showing off not only this man's extreme good looks but his intellect and creativity as well. Lisa, we envy you so very hard right now.
