Hollywood hunk. Beloved actor. Loving family man. The Great Khal. And one of the kindest, most honest people you’ll meet. Jason Momoa, 41, might be Aquaman for some cinema-goers but to lots of his fans and to us, he’ll always be Khal Drogo, the Dothraki warlord from the first season of ‘Game of Thrones’ (back when the show was still good).
However, when Momoa’s role on the show suddenly ended, it impacted his and his family’s life in a very negative way.
Momoa spoke very openly and candidly about the financial hardships that he faced after he left ‘Game of Thrones’ in an interview with InStyle’s Christopher Bagley. The actor revealed that he and his family were “in debt” and hardly making ends meet, “starving” and having trouble paying the bills.

Now, we don’t know if it’s just a coincidence that the quality of the show quickly dropped after Khal Momoa was killed off (whoops, spoilers) at the end of Season One, but two things are for sure.
First, Momoa missed his role as Khal Drogo because he really enjoyed it. Second, the fact that his character was removed from the show just after 10 episodes meant that his paycheck was a lot smaller than that of his colleagues, some of whom went on to act in the show for eight friggin’ seasons.
With debt and lots of mouths to feed, Momoa, his actress wife Lisa Bonet, and their two small children were in dire straits. This struggle lasted for several years.
Fortunately, things eventually took an upward turn and the situation rapidly improved in 2016. There was finally a light at the end of the tunnel. And it was cast by the bright spotlight of superhero movies.
Momoa was cast in 2017’s ‘Justice League’ as Aquaman and then went on to reprise his role as the nautical hero in 2018’s movie named after his character. We’ll get to see Momoa on the silver screen again soon, as ‘Dune’ plans to be released in 2021. Despite his overwhelming recent success, Momoa remains humble.

Momoa made a terrific Aquaman (but we’ll always love him for playing Khal Drogo)

With how popular Momoa is nowadays, it’s hard to imagine that he didn’t always have financial stability

Momoa shaved off his iconic beard for his role in 2021’s ‘Dune’ and we can’t wait to see him in action
