Jason Momoa wants his son Nakoa-Wolf Momoa to find his own way in Hollywood
Jason Momoa recently spoke to Extra TV about his 16-year-old son, Nakoa-Wolf Momoa, landing a role in the forthcoming Dune Part Three. The Fast X actor revealed that he was not involved in the casting.
"A rude awakening is what he’s in for. He’s into the workforce for the first time. It’s going to be good. He did it on his own. I don’t want to help him, and he’s done it all on his own, and good for him,” Momoa stated.
He further added that he can't hold his own in front of the Dune director:
“You want your children to be better than you, and I really, actually believe he is. I couldn’t do what he’s doing at his age. There’s no way I could sit in a room with Denis Villeneuve and hold my own. I was on Baywatch at 19. He’s 16 and holding sh*t down with Denis Villeneuve.”
Momoa concluded by praising his son:
“We raised him beautiful[ly]. We raised our children … being loved and being confident in themselves. That is what he is. He’s very confident.”
Nakoa-Wolf Momoa is portraying the role of Leto II, who, according to the source material, is Paul Atreides and Chani's son. The third installment is based on Frank Herbert's novel, Dune Messiah. Jason Momoa had played Duncan Idaho in Dune: Part One. The character dies in the film but is expected to reappear in the third installment.
Jason Momoa and Lisa Bonet got married in 2017, and the couple got a divorce in 2024. The duo shared two children, a son: Nakoa-Wolf, and a daughter: Lola Iolani Momoa. Jason was recently seen as Garrett Garrison, aka The Garbage Man, in A Minecraft Movie, which he also produced.
