The Hawaiian Celebrity

Any “Game of Thrones” fan would easily recognize Jason Momoa, who played the role of Khal Drogo. The exceptional actor has roots in Hawaii as he was born in Honolulu even though he didn’t grow up there. When his parents separated, he relocated to Iowa and grew up there.

But it seems he never forgot his roots. He tried to reestablish a relationship with his father, and it led him back to Hawaii. Maybe that’s why he seemed so natural in his role as Aquaman in the 2018 movie. If anything, water must be his favorite element. He reprised this role in an episode of the 2022 HBO Max series “Peacemaker.”
