But, these days, you’d be hard pushed to find anybody who doesn’t know him.
The lovable actor is known for being laidback, and he’s not precious about his career.
‘Conan [the Barbarian]’ was one of them.
Unsurprisingly, Momoa made an impression in the TV movie.
“I want to be moved, I want something new,” he asserted.
Thankfully, “Things are changing, and even the villain roles I’m playing now are eccentric.”

During a chat withEW, Momoa revealed that when he started out, nobody believed in him.
“Everyone thought I was crazy, but I wanted to write, direct, and produce movies.
I didn’t want to act.
…Now I do that a lot, and I love it,” he recalled.
I like being passionate about it, dreaming it up, seeing it through, selling it."
Funnily enough, he struggled to find work post “Game of Thrones.”
InStylepoints out how his character actually died before the show really took off.
As a result, Momoa could barely make ends meet, describing his family as “starving.”
Thus, when he landed Aquaman, everybody was already onboard.
