Jason Momoa is a charismatic and talented actor who has garnered widespread recognition for his captivating performances on screen. With his rugged charm, muscular physique, and distinctive appearance, he has become a prominent figure in the world of entertainment. Momoa’s rise to fame can be attributed to his memorable portrayal of iconic characters such as Khal Drogo in Game of Thrones and Aquaman in the DC Universe films.
Momoa is surely recognized not only for his acting skills but also for his impressive physique. His muscular build is something that simply can not be ignored. Momoa’s muscular physique, and imposing stature have become a defining characteristic of his on-screen roles. One may assume that the superstar spends hours of his days just lifting weights. But surprisingly, Momoa has openly admitted that he does not touch a weight unless he is being paid for it, making his approach to fitness much more intriguing.
Jason Momoa Revealed He Doesn’t Touch Weights In The Gym Until He Is Paid
Despite his imposing physique, the Fast X star has revealed that he is not particularly fond of working out and avoids the gym unless it is for a specific role or project for which he is getting paid. The Aquaman star added that he loves to do other physical activities like surfing and rock climbing to keep himself fit.
“I haven’t trained since, that’s how awesome it is. Nope, that’s just nothing. I don’t touch a weight unless they’re paying me to do it. I am not doing it. I just climb with my kids. But right now I am working on a show where it’s just not needed and unfortunately, I need to get back in shape because I am just a little off. It hurts. I don’t enjoy lifting weights, I love to do surfing or rock climbing and you know that kind of stuff. I don’t like going to the gym.”
Jason Momoa Believes Yoga Is The Toughest Thing He Has Ever Done
Jason Momoa made it pretty clear that he is not a big fan of intense workouts but it does not mean that the superstar devoid himself of other workout techniques, which includes Yoga. The Game of Thrones star shared that he tried Yoga and as per him, it’s the toughest thing he has ever done. Momoa shared that his body is very tight and recalls being the worst performer in the yoga class of old ladies.
“I tried yoga the other day, and it was the hardest thing I’ve ever done. Climbing El Capitan would be easier than doing two hours of yoga. She doesn’t get it. I can’t bend over anymore! My hamstrings are so tight. My body’s so tight. It’s pathetic. I remember, one time, I was all yoked out for Conan, and I was in a yoga class with these older ladies in Topanga. Everyone was just holding their arms up, and I was like… This is so hard!”
Momoa sets the example that spending hours in the gym and increasing weights in your training are not the only ways through which one can remain fit and maintain his impressive physique. Several other physical activities like surfing, rock climbing, and yoga can also be of great use when trying to be healthy.
