Jason Momoa might be known for starring on Game of Thrones and appearing as Aquaman, but the hunk actually had his sights on being a marine biologist growing up.
He said on Saturday Night Live: “I love playing Aquaman, because I love the ocean! It’s true. Growing up, all I wanted to be was a marine biologist, which makes sense because I’m built like a scientist.”
He said he eventually moved to be with family in Hawaii and to surf, before his role in Baywatch came along.
“I call it the ‘B-Word’,” he said.
