10 Things You Didn't Know About Jason Momoa

5. He€™s A Buddhist

With an intimidating physical presence and a penchant for playing battle-hardened warriors, Momoa can come off as a bit of a scary guy. Contrary to his on-screen characters, Momoa is actually a practicing Buddhist and is probably more likely to give out hugs than stabbing people in the face. Before he had hit it big, Momoa had travelled quite a bit in his youth. His travels lead him from learning how to paint in Paris to a spiritual journey in Tibet. Calling his Tibetan trip his 'best life experience', Momoa discovered the teachings of Buddhism and began studying the religion. So despite looking like a guy you wouldn't want to run into in a dark alleyway, Momoa is really just a peaceful and kind-hearted guy who meditates everyday and prefers reading to fighting.

My life story is nothing special. I haven't cured ebola, I'm nowhere near stopping terrorism, and I'm still working on that climate change problem. Instead, all I've done so far is put a few hundred words together in an attempt to make people laugh. You can follow me at @Fry_ying_pan but don't be offended if I don't tweet back. It's usually because I've spent too long trying to think up a witty response that the reply window has closed.
