From his role as Aquaman in DC’s Extended Universe, to Khal Drogo inGame of Thronesand even taking his place on a rock climbing reality TV show, Momoa shines on the screen.

Talking to the host, Momoa said, “I don’t [know where it will be]. I mean, I’d love to be next to Slash, maybe. That’d be pretty rad… I don’t think that’s gonna happen. I’m just happy to be the first Hawaiian, I think, in history. The first Kanaka Maoli to be on that.”
The statement announcing Momoa’s inclusion in the honor list was read by Walk of Fame Panel chair Ellen K, and said, “The Walk of Fame Selection Panel is pleased to announce 38 new honorees to the Hollywood Walk of Fame. The Selection Panel, made up of fellow Walk of Famers, hand-picks a group of honorees each year that represent various genres of the entertainment world,” she said. “The Panel did an amazing job choosing these very talented people. We can’t wait to see each honoree’s reaction as they realize that they are becoming a part of Hollywood’s history with the unveiling of their star on the world’s most famous walkway!”

“After we ended the first one I went in with my writing partner and we dreamed up the second one and we went in and pitched the idea,” Momoa said. “The best thing I can give you is that I love it so much that I participated in the writing of it. And so, we did the first treatment and then James and our original writer David finished it off. And all of our hearts are in it. Instead of just like getting a script and doing that, you are 100% being encouraged by your director and co-writers. So that’s exciting for me and I’m excited to go over there. I leave in July and we start filming.” Momoa’s enthusiasm for theAquamansequel is evident through his comments on it and hisdedicated, and early training for the roll.
