In a rare public appearance with his kids, Jason Momoa says the one thing that no one knows about him “except for my babies.”

In a rare public appearance with his kids, Jason Momoa says the one thing that no one knows about him “except for my babies.”

Jason Momoa walked the red carpet at the premiere of his upcoming movie Slumberland with his two teens, Lola, 15, and Nakoa-Wolf, 13. It was a good-natured event that proved he is a fun-loving family man.

At the event, the actor talked to E! News, and his daughter joined them. They shared some sweet things about the former Game of Thrones star that many people may not have known.

Momoa laughed and said, “I don’t know about’showcasing my personality.’ I just put it out there; it’s who I am.” He looked at Lola and said, “Your father’s pretty silly,” and she quickly agreed with a warm tone in her voice.
The father of two went on, “Everyone’s like, ‘Oh, you’re like this, you’re like that,’ and I’m like, ‘No, I’m not, I’m actually more like Flip,'” which is the name of his character in the fantasy/adventure movie. Lola spoke up again and said, “He loved doing Flip because it was so much like him.” Jason smiled and said, “Only my babies know that.”

The Aquaman actor also talked about how his daughter helped make Slumberland. “So Lola dances a lot, and she—well, you know the rest of the story,” he told the teen.
She said, “So me and my friends choreographed a dance routine to “Don’t Start Now” by Dua Lipa, and then my dad loved the dance, so he put it in the movie.” Talk about a proud dad and an up-and-coming young woman with a lot of talent! Circling back to the topic of his Instagram, Momoa said, “I’m gonna post it of her teaching us. I’ll put it out soon.”
His love for his kids was the throughline of the short conversation, with him sharing that this holiday season, he’s most grateful for “My family, my kids, my daughter, my love, my little lovey, and my son. He’s a wild animal and he’s somewhere around here,” he joked. “Yes, my children and my family are the most important things in my life.”

When asked what he and his kids, whom he shares with ex-wife Lisa Bonet, like to do for the holidays and in general, Momoa answered while sweetly looking at Lola for confirmation, “Watching movies, eating lots of food, going out and being in nature, rock climbing.” He went on, “We always have adventures, so we like to go on road trips and other similar things. We get crazy and camp all over the world.”

Turns out he also likes adventuring around dreamworlds, which you can watch him do in Slumberland on Netflix on November 18.
