Jason Momoa
Joseph Jason Namakaeha Momoa was the man who didn’t have it all… yet. Born in Honolulu, Hawaii, in 1979, he studied marine biology before becoming an actor in Baywatch: Hawaii. There, the 20-year-old met actress Simmone Jade Mackinnon.
When Jason was starring in Northern Shore in 2004, he asked Simmone to marry him. She said yes, and they started planning a big wedding. However, they called off the engagement after Momoa met another woman. That woman was Lisa Bonet, who was 18 years older than Jason.
How Lisa Met Jason
Jason opened up to James Corden on The Late Late Show about the first time he met Lisa. Mutual friends introduced them at a jazz club, and since he knew Lisa would be there, he dreadlocked his hair to impress her.
Momoa revealed, “I literally turned around, and I see her, and she goes, ‘I’m Lisa.’ I turned around to my friend, and I [pretended to scream]. I had […] fireworks going off inside, man. I convinced her to take me home because I was living in a hotel.”
