“We were starving”: Jason Momoa Claimed Game of Thrones Left Him in Horrifying Debt Before DC’s Aquaman Saved His Career


Popularly known for portraying the DC superhero Aquaman, Jason Momoa started his acting career with TV shows. He first featured in the spinoff of the popular show, Baywatch, called Baywatch: Hawaii. He has since starred in several television shows, one of the most popular being HBO’s Game of Thrones. While the show was quite popular and resulted very well for most of its cast, things were not the same for the Khal Drogo actor.
During a 2020 interview with InStyle, he shared that he was heavily in debt after his tenure on Game of Thrones ended and his family was starving as he was having a hard time landing another job.

Jason Momoa Was Completely in Debt After Game of ThronesJason Momoa’s time as Khal Drogo in Game of Thrones ended after his character was killed off in the first season of the show. While his co-star Emilia Clarke, along with the rest of the cast, would go on to enjoy the show’s success in the upcoming seasons, it was not the same for Momoa.
During his interview with InStyle, the Aquaman actor shared that he struggled to pay bills and make ends meet after featuring in the HBO show. He said, “I mean, we were starving after Game of Thrones,” as Momoa shared that he was entirely in debt at the time.

“I couldn’t get work. It’s very challenging when you have babies, and you’re completely in debt,” the Slumberland actor shared. It wasn’t until the 2017 film Justice League that things got better for him. He describes getting the role of the DC superhero as the “best moment of [his] career,” as he was offered even more roles after getting cast as Aquaman.
The Chief of War star has since starred in multiple hit films and is set to reprise his role as Aquaman in the sequel to his 2018 film. He is also starring in the upcoming movie in the Fast and Furious franchise.

Game of Thrones Gave Wrong Impression of Jason MomoaDuring an interview, Jason Momoa also talked about how playing Khal Drogo gave a wrong impression of him to the audience. He shared that a lot of people “bagged” on him and assumed that he couldn’t speak English.

“For a while afterward, a lot of people bagged on me. It hurt me a lot. People thought I didn’t speak English,” the Game of Thrones actor recalled during an interview. He shared that he did get a lot of respect for the show and had fun playing Drogo in Game of Thrones, but it did not help his acting career as “Khal Drago doesn’t even speak English.”
He felt hurtful due to his image in people and everyone assuming that he was just like Khal Drogo. He said that he just portrayed a character, and it does not define who he is off-screen. Momoa is set to reprise his role as Arthur Curry, aka Aquaman, in the sequel to his 2018 DC film.
Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom is set to release on 20 December 2023.

‘I am officially off the market’: When Margot Robbie revealed she made the ‘conscious’ decision of not dating actors


Margot Robbie revealed her decision to not date actors because of the media scrutiny that came with a public relationship of two high-profile actors
Back in 2015, A-lister Margot Robbie made a declaration that she would not be dating any actors. The actress may have alluded to her fiance Tom Ackerley, who she married the following year in 2016. In an exclusive interview with Marie Claire, she revealed that being in a relationship as an actor herself came with its own set of challenges. She believed that dating someone who was popular would add on to the media scrutiny.

Margot Robbie opened up on why she made a conscious decision to not date actorsTalking to Marie Claire, she claimed, “I am officially off the market.” She then shared the reasoning behind her decision and added, “I made a conscious decision not to date actors.” She continued to explain, “But not because I hate actors. That’s a nasty generalization to make, and that’s not the case. People take such an interest in your love life when you have a profile, it puts a lot of stress on a relationship.”
The Barbie actress continued, “So two people with profiles, I figure it’s just double the amount of scrutiny, and I’d like to avoid that at all costs.” This came after reports of her locking lips with Tarzan co-star Alexander Skarsgard started making rounds. It was reported that she was caught kissing the actor during the Sundance Film Festival.

Margot Robbie revealed she opted for a minimal lifestyle even after becoming an actorIn the interview, Robbie also opened up about how she was adapting to fame. She shared, “I have a normal 24-year-old life. If I were a waitress, I’d probably have the exact same lifestyle. I’d go to the same clubs I go to already, live in the same house with the same housemates, hang out with the same people.”
However, Margot Robbie tied the knot with Tom Ackerley who is an English producer and actor. The duo met on the sets of 2013 movie Suite Francaise where Tom was working as an assistant director. Post marriage, both of them launched their production company LuckyChap Entertainment.

‘Rocky’ Was Quite Different In His Original Screenplay, Sylvester Stallone Claims


Sylvester Stallone took his friend’s advice on a rewrite of the original screenplay to Rocky. A few tweaks later, he was on his way to major success.
In the new Netflix documentary Sly, Stallone discussed how he initially conceived of the project, which had a much harder edge. In the early version, Rocky was depicted as a “thuggish” character, inspired by Martin Scorsese’s crime drama, Mean Streets.

But Stallone’s perspective changed when a friend read the script and thought the boxer was too cruel for audiences to actually care about him.
Stallone recalled her crying.

“She goes, ‘I hate Rocky. I hate him. He’s cruel. He hits people. He beats them up.’”
Stallone took it to heart, and asked what he could do to soften the character.

“I said, ‘what if you stop short of it?’ Like, maybe he almost did. He could have, that’s his job, but he doesn’t?’ ‘That’d be nice,’” he added. “I said, ‘What if he had a girlfriend or something?’ ‘Yeah, that’s nice.’ So I go back, start writing that: ‘Girlfriend. Nice.’”
$117 million in box office later, a franchise was born.

Stallone also revealed that actor Dolph Lundgren sent him to the hospital during one fight scene in Rocky IV.
“Dolph Lundgren… he pulverized me,” Stallone says in the documentary. “Later that night, my heart started to swell—which happens when the heart hits the chest—and then my blood pressure went up to 260, and they thought I was going to be talking to angels. Next thing I know, I’m in intensive care, where I’m surrounded by nuns, and I thought, ‘OK, that’s curtains.’”
Stallone was in the hospital for nine days following the incident, praying for “one more round.”
“For the first minute of the fight, it is going to be a free-for-all,” Stallone told Lundgren. The Swedish actor joked in a separate interview that all he did was “obey orders,” explaining, “[Stallone] was the boss. I did what he told me.”
Doctors allegedly told Stallone that he received a blow to the ribs that made his heart rattle around in his ribcage, a condition typically seen in head-on collisions. “I did hit a bus, of sorts,” Stallone joked.
