Jason Momoa has revealed the projects that he’s starred in that he won’t let his children watch, joking that his stint in Baywatch ‘never happened’.
Jason is currently filming Aquaman 2 in London, having reunited with his Game of Thrones co-star Emilia Clarke while celebrating the birthday of David Benioff, one of the co-creators of the show.
The actor’s epic science fiction film Dune, in which he stars as Duncan Idaho, is due to come out later this year, which he is looking forward to his two children watching.
However, some of his work from earlier in his career is off limits to the youngsters, he revealed during a recent interview.
While speaking on the Australian radio show Fitzy and Wippa, Jason said that he would describe his kids, who he shares with his wife Lisa Bonet, as his biggest fans.
‘They’re happy, they know we’re doing Aquaman 2 right now. They’ve been on set, learnt stunts so we’ve got some cool surprises and they just love it. All the people that they’re with is who they were raised with. They got to be there on Justice League,’ the 42-year-old said.

Explaining that they’re going to see Dune and his upcoming Netflix film Sweet Girl, he added: ‘The earlier things of my career, they can’t see that, but they can see the new things I’m trying to make.’
Jason delivered a brutal response when asked for his kids’ feedback on Baywatch, having starred on Baywatch: Hawaii from 1999 to 2001 as Jason Ioane.
‘We don’t say the B word,’ he replied. ‘We hide all of that mate. Never happened, right? We don’t talk about those words.’
The actor also said that his children won’t be watching Game of Thrones ‘even though it’s fantastic’, nor can they watch him as the titular character in the 2011 film Conan the Barbarian.
