The art of simulating life.
Jason Momoa may be known for projects like aquatic and Game of Thronesbut the role of Flip Face in the new Netflix movie sleeping land gave him the chance to step into a project where he played an eccentric character alongside his 14-year-old co-star Marlow Barkley.
And while, yes, this is different from what audiences are used to seeing Jason on screen, the 43-year-old told E! News he was drawn to the project because it reflects who he is every day as a father to a 13 year old Nakoa-Wolf Manakauapo Namakaeha and 15 years old Lola Iolaniwho he shares with For example Lisa Bonet.
“It’s all because Saint Francis [Lawrence]. He only knows me,” Jason said about sleeping landmanager. “He got to see me with my kids. He saw what I was like on set. He told me the story and it made me cry.”
Jason added that his role as a real-life father made working with Marlow a much more special experience.
