The Big Influence Jason Momoa's Mom Had On His Life

In the short film "Canvas of My Life" about Jason Momoa by Carhartt, Momoa describes being raised by his mother Coni in a profound way. "I was raised by a strong single mother," he told the filmmakers. "My mom's an artist in every way. She's a painter, a photographer. She's a wanderer, always searching, always seeing. I guess you could say my mom gave me her eyes." That sense of adventure has served Momoa well in his life!

According to Esme, Momoa has seen much of the world from learning pastels in Paris to practicing Buddhism in Tibet. The outlet notes he was encouraged to do so by his mom's openness. Perhaps that's even how he got through the tumultuous time following his stint on "Game of Thrones" when he was out of work and deep in debt. Had he not kept seeing the good in things we wouldn't have so many of his iconic roles now!
