THIS IS A FAN SITE! ONLY A FAN SITE! I am not Jason Momoa. Please see disclaimer below.
A model and actor, Jason Momoa was born in Honolulu but soon moved to Norwalk, Iowa where his mother raised him. Jason longed to learn about his Hawaiian roots and returned to the islands to attend college at the University of Hawaii. It wasn't long before international designer Takeo discovered the 6'5," green-eyed actor and launched his modeling career. Jason won the 1999, "Hawaii's Model of the Year," participated in the prestigious "Governor's Fashion Show" and walked the runway for Louis Vuitton. He also hosted the 1999 "Miss Teen Hawaii USA" contest.
His passion for adventure took Jason to the top of Fountain Bleu France. An avid rock climber, the Fountain Bleu was a challenge that Jason conquered head on. A natural athlete, Jason enjoys ice climbing, mountain biking, snowboarding, long board skateboarding and roller hockey. He also has a love for the arts, culture and spirituality. He dabbled in pastel painting in Paris and has traveled to Tibet, where he deepened his spiritual knowledge of Buddhist teachings.
Jason can be found supporting many charities and community groups. He promotes hunger awareness by working for the Hawaii Food Bank campaign and speaking to students at various schools. Jason believes he is blessed by strong family values and enjoys sharing his experiences, especially with the youth of today.
Jason always knew he would spend his days by the ocean, but he thought he would be studying it, not frolicking in it (he planned on being a marine biologist). So, just how did he end up in front of the camera? "I went to Hawaii to hang out with my father and uncle (famed surfer Brian Keaulana) on the set of the film In God's Hands when I met my managers." The managers sent him off to do runway modeling for Louis Vuitton, but had him back in Hawaii when Baywatch came to town. "I kept trying out for a month and then got the job the day I was supposed to leave."
"In my off-season, my managers took me to Tibet." The trip was quite meaningful for the actor. "Tibet is serene, amazing, the people are so beautiful. They have nothing (materially) and they're so happy - it kinda puts everything in check. It was a great experience, probably my best life experience."
In addition to surfing, kayaking, snowboarding and camping, Jason's obsessed with a dangerous sport: "I went to Canada to do some mountaineering & discovered ice climbing." Always up for a challenge, he's quite confident about his new passion saying that he likes the fact that it's a "real mental game."
