It is difficult to actually make it into Hollywood, which is why there are so many celebrities who are definitely grateful for where they are. However, what most people don’t know is that it is not that difficult to make it into the Hollywood scene or simply be famous. Nowadays, more and more people are becoming famous thanks to social media.
Then again, the difficult part is not the beginning, but the middle part. It is not easy to stay significant that people would still want you. In Hollywood, it is not easy to stay famous, especially if you have been given roles that are kind of different. This is what Jason Momoa think when he landed the role of Khal Drogo in “Game of Thrones,” but he sure was wrong because everyone is loving him now.
Casting Difficulties
One of the biggest television shows in the world today was HBO’s Game of Thrones. It has become a stepping stone for actors Emilia Clarke, Sophie Turner, Peter Dinklage, Pete Harington and more. They all have gotten a huge advantage in their careers for it, however, not all of them were given the chance.
In an interview with The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, Jason Momoa, who actually starred in the said series as Khal Drogo, said that he had a hard time getting picked for roles after Game of Thrones. One of the main reasons for it is that his character only speaks Dothraki, although the fans absolutely loved him, it was difficult to actually believe he speaks English. Of course, it may be difficult for him at first but his opportunity came when he joined Zack Snyder’s Justice League alongside Ben Afflec, Henry Cavill, and Gal Gadot.

He even got his very own standalone film for it, so things are definitely going well for him. This is where he has gotten a chance to interact with his fans even more since he gets a chance to meet them whenever he would attend comic conventions. In fact, a photo of him along with a couple, went viral just a few days ago because of how creative he could get whenever he would take photos with them.

Funny Fan Interactions
Momoa is known for his big and intimidating characters, but he turns out to be a goofy dude especially when interacting with his co-stars and fans. This year’s Denver Comic Con is definitely star-studded, actors from Stranger Things and the Walking Dead made an appearance, even Aquaman himself made an appearance to represent Justice League and because he is starring at his very own standalone film which will be released around the holiday season this year.
In conventions like this one, the fans may have the privilege take some photos with their favorite celebrities who are present at the convention, and this is exactly what this couple does. A Reddit user under the username twoforjoy, posted a photo from their meet-and-greet experience with the actor and sure enough, it had gone viral because of how it was taken.
The woman said that she actually wanted a picture with just Momoa and her, but her husband said that he wasn’t exactly comfortable with that, and so what Momoa did is to put his other arm around her while his other arm is straightened out pushing the husband away by putting his hand on his face. They all have smiles on their faces though so everything was obviously just for fun. However, the photo was signed by Momoa as well, but he wrote it over her husband’s face, which made it even funnier. The woman said that when the photo was printed and Momoa saw it, he couldn’t contain his laughter and said a cuss and that it is amazing. Some of the comments were hilarious as well, just like how someone said that the husband just secretly wanted the Aquaman actor to touch his face.
Momoa is actually known for taking silly pictures with his fans whenever he would have the chance to see them in some conventions and meet-and-greet. He is also known for having such a goofy and fun personality even on the set of his projects by fooling around with his cast members.
