A 12-year age gap and a famous stepdaughter: Jason Momoa's relationship with Lisa Bonet.

Game of Thrones is no doubt one of the most successful TV shows of the past decade.

The fantasy drama series, which sky-rocketed the careers of Emilia Clarke, Kit Harington, and Sophie Turner, generated $2.2 billion (yes, billion) in profits for HBO.

But for actor Jason Momoa, who had a short stint on the show as Khal Drogo, it wasn't quite as successful.

Watch: The things I say while watching Game of Thrones. Post continues below.

In a new interview with InStyle, the 41-year-old shared that he was "completely in debt" after his character was killed in the first season of the show.

"I mean, we were starving after Game of Thrones," he shared.

"I couldn't get work. It's very challenging when you have babies and you're completely in debt."

It wasn't until five years later that Momoa's financial situation finally improved.

The actor, who has two kids with wife Lisa Bonet, was cast as Aquaman in the DC Extended Universe in 2016, starring in both Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and Justice League. 

He later appeared in a standalone movie, Aquaman, in 2018, before being cast in the lead role in Apple TV+ series See.

In the coming months, Momoa will appear in sci-fi movie Dune, TV miniseries Zack Snyder's Justice League, and drama Sweet Girl.

But until Jason Momoa hits our screens once again, here's everything you need to know about the actor.

Momoa made headlines this month when he posted Instagram photos of the matching skull-shaped, carved-bone friendship ring he gave to Kravitz.

"They were divorced 15 years before I even showed up. We’re awesome. He’s an amazing dad. And Zoë is like my daughter," Momoa previously said.

"So, it’s family. And I’m just coming into the new part of the family."

Other important Jason Momoa facts you need to know.

He plays guitar and drums:

"I don’t want to be an actor that plays music," Momoa said.

"I’ll back up my kids maybe with some bass. But that’s about as far as it goes."

He has a lot of tattoos:

Momoa has several tattoos. He has a half sleeve featuring nine rows of black triangles encircling his left forearm – his Hawaiian family’s crest, the manō. The triangles represent shark teeth.

On his right outer forearm, Momoa has a tattoo which reads "Être toujours ivre", roughly translating from French as "Always be drunk". On his right inner forearm, Momoa has a tattoo which says "Pride of Gypsies", which is the name of his film and commercial production company.

The actor also has a memorial tattoo on his middle right finger, which reads "Diablo", in memory of his best friend who passed away in 2013.

He loves pink:

Momoa has a penchant for wearing pink scrunchies on his wrist – and to tie back his hair. He’s also worn pink pants when hosting Saturday Night Live.

"It tones down the testosterone," Momoa previously said.

"I’ve got a lot of weird pink stuff. I’ve had a ’55 pink Cadillac for 16 years. I don’t know, I like pink."
