Jason Momoa on parenthood and his uncle Craig

Tender words, mostly, from Jason Momoa, aka Aquaman, aka Khal Drogo in Game of Thrones: "I really can't tell you what the hell I was doing before I had kids. Just fucking off. Wasting time. I think I was pretty reckless and definitely a bit out of control. Now I'm more focused. I probably love myself more and take care of myself more because I want to stick around.... I want to be remembered as, I hope, an amazing husband and a great father. My kids are my greatest piece of art. If I can pump them full of amazing stuff and surround them with beautiful art and music, then I'm going to live out my life watching them. They're already way smarter and just way better than me. God, I love it. It's beautiful. I want it to be the greatest thing I ever do: make good humans." — Men's Health magazine

Momoa, an only child, was raised in Norwalk, Iowa by a single mother. For a father figure, he had his uncle Craig. "He was kind of like my dad growing up, because my dad was in Hawaii. Craig was an all-around amazing man. He took care of his family, he was kind, he was strong, he was really funny. He was definitely the man I looked up to."

Uncles are important too. Very important. I've had some of the best. I'm grateful.
