As an avid surfer which is common for most men living in Hawaii. Momoa worked in a surf shop when he was spotted by a scout for Baywatch Hawaii. His clean shaven baby face well chiseled but cute boy looks got him a number of roles noteworthy of which are North Shore, Johnson Family vacation and Stargate: Atlantis. Most of these gigs were done between 1999 and 2001. As you can see he was always hot.

In such photos of young Jason Momoa, one can hardly recognize him. But!! As he may feel embarrassed about his early pics, his fans don’t think so as he is still a star to dote upon. No one would have even contemplated Momoa looked like this at one time. He looks far from his rough-cut, Aqua man and Khal Drogo looks. He got his bulky body later on in life. Momoa is 6’3” and weighs 220 pounds of which you can see is only muscle. He is not fat in the least.

Many may feel that his scar adds attraction to his rugged lean looks. There is a story behind how he got his scar and it was as you may have guessed, in a brawl. Jason was involved in a bar brawl in LA. Another customer took a glass and smashed it across his face which resulted in him receiving 140 stitches. Rather than mope about it, he ended up being happy with the prominent scar giving him a signature look. The fight happened just before he started shooting for Game of Thrones and seems to have fit in for the look of the rough badass character. In fact, Momoa says he got called “pretty boy” all his life, so he is thankful for the scar.
