One activity that will never not be entertaining is looking back at old photos of your friends and loved ones, especially if you didn't know them when they were younger. Seeing the similarities between then and now, whether it's their eyebrows, their cheesy smile, or their distinctive personality coming through, can have you in hysterics in no time. This goes for baby photos, but also for teen years and early adulthood. Looking back on what your dad looked like when he was your age can be fun too, especially when you see the terrible hairdos and fashion sense of that particular era. In no time at all, you'll find yourself on the other end of that equation with someone younger. The same thing can occur with celebrities. Especially with actors, we get so used to their look on-screen that going back and seeing George Clooney with a mullet or Steve Carrell rocking a mustache is a little baffling. And when it comes to more recent stars like Jason Momoa, we all have one thing in mind: Khal Drogo. Much like Daenerys, we were all intimidated and scared by Game of Thrones' Khal Drogo, but, eventually, we all loved him. It was a shame then that he departed the show so early, with the series going on to air a staggering 57 episodes since. Regardless, his character's presence is still felt across the show, and many are hoping he will come back in a flashback of some kind for the show's final season. While he has starred in a number of TV shows and movies since then, his next big gig was this year's Justice League, where he played a grittier take on Aquaman in the superhero blockbuster. Once again, this involved Momoa starring as a grizzled masculine powerhouse - so you can see how we start to associate him with this image. But that's not always been the case, since he was far more of a traditional and straight-edged kind of hunk - back in the day when he was working on Baywatch. From 1999 to 2001 he played Jason Ioane on the show, before reprising his role for the TV Movie Baywatch: Hawaiian Wedding. He's come a long way since these days, and a lot of his fans can't wrap their heads around the difference.

While many may have thought that was part of his Game of Thrones character's look, it was actually a result of a bar fight he got into once. "I got called 'pretty boy' my whole life," he said to the New York Post. "If anything, it's like, 'Good.' It's not my thing now." I can say for sure that I wouldn't dare call Momoa a 'pretty boy' to his face, or behind his back - and I doubt any of his friends would dare any more either.

There was a point in time when even the idea of making an Aquaman movie seemed ludicrous. In the late 90s, all interest in superhero movies seemed to die off after audiences were dismayed and disappointed by the outrageously garish Batman & Robin. That movie somehow didn't end George Clooney's career, but it did leave many disinterested in the idea of seeing comic book characters on the big screen. But now, two Spider-man reboots, three Iron Man movies and a ten X-Men adventures later, we seem to be up to our necks in caped crusaders. While there are some who are fed up with the influx of superheroics at the movie theater, the success of the genre has allowed for the weirdest and wildest ideas to leap from the page and into live-action. Think about it; no one imagined a talking tree and a foul-mouthed racoon would have made millions at the box office, but Guardians of the Galaxy is now a favorite of moviegoers across the world. Now it is time for Arthur Curry, better known as Aquaman, to have his own solo movie. The character has already graced our screens once in the past 12 months, appearing in this year's Justice League team-up movie. Yet there's still more to come. Entertainment Weekly have talked to the creators of the film and have even unveiled the first look at Aquaman, played by Jason Momoa. Many of us will know the actor best from his brief but memorable role in Game of Thrones as Khal Drogo, the brutal but charming leader of the Dothraki hordes. This new version of Aquaman isn't too far from this role, as he is again starring as both a warrior and a king. Check out his amazing look: [[instagramwidget||https://www.instagram.com/p/BcaZKJ3FL7H/]] James Wan, who directed other hit movies such as Furious 7 and The Conjuring, insists that this movie is going to be very different from other superhero movies out there: "It's going to look very different, it will feel very different—aesthetically, tonally, story-wise—it's my own take. It's a much more a traditional action-adventure quest movie." "Aquaman has been the joke of the comic book world, but the more I thought about it, the more I thought how cool that would be. Let's take the character everybody makes fun of and do something really interesting with him." Despite the fact that we were introduced to the character and were given hints of his background in Justice League, there is still much unknown about the movie. Thankfully, Momoa himself has opened up about what the film will entail: “Justice League was only a weekend in Arthur Curry's life. This is a totally different beast." "In Aquaman, you see when his parents met and what happened to hem. Then the little boy being raised and finding his powers and going through that and never being accepted on either side. And then becoming this man who puts up all these walls." "You just slowly see this man harden up and be completely reluctant wanting to be king and not knowing what to do with these powers he has. I think James Wan just killed it." Aquaman will be hitting theaters on December 21, 2018. Can you wait a whole year to see this one?

Can you believe it's been over seven years since we last saw Khal Drogo? Despite the fact that many of us know Jason Momoa best as the leader of the Dothraki armies in Game of Thrones, he was only around for one season (give or take a vision or two), and wasn't in as many high-profile movies in the next few years.

That all changed when he was cast in Justice League as Arthur Curry, aka Aquaman. The character, even amongst the nerdiest of comic book nerds, was something of a joke for years - with his fish-talking powers and green underwear being an object of ridicule. But Momoa's version of the character was a little different, bringing an edge to the character that set him apart.

While he was simply one member of the team in that superhero team-up joint, he has his own fully-fledged solo movie which is hitting cinemas this week. While his character on Game of Thrones was stoic, brutal and serious, his real-life personality is far softer, and it looks like he's a complete showman at heart.

If that wasn't already clear from his hilarious appearance hosting an episode of Saturday Night Live! this month (a dream come true for the actor), he's brought out the big guns for his time on the red carpet. He's appeared on plenty of them before, but it was at the premiere for Aquaman that he brought out a ceremonial dance. Oh, and he whipped out his character's iconic trident while he was at it.

The premiere was held in Los Angeles on Wednesday, where Momoa was joined by various co-stars to introduce the film to the world. While there, it turned out they'd all planned something for the fans and cameras gathered there that night, as Momoa and several others broke out into a performance of the haka, a ceremonial dance in Māori culture.

He was was joined by his two children for the haka, in addition to various other castmembers and New Zealand’s Temuera Morrison, who also plays his father in the new film. Momoa is from Hawaii, but has often spoken about his love for New Zealand and its culture - wearing a Pounamu necklace, as his on-screen character does too.

While the Haka originates in New Zealand, it has made a home in Hawaiian culture in more recent years. The state's own version is called the Hawaiian ha'a, and clearly Momoa has had some practice:

Momoa isn't just turning heads on the red carpet. For years now, he's become one of the internet's favourites, from the time he Instagrammed a night out with the Game of Thrones cast, to the hilarious way he takes photos with fans.

With the new Aquaman sending his star status into the stratosphere, he's bound to be back in the news doing something fun and hilarious sometime soon.

Jason Momoa has once again proven why he was picked for the role of Aquaman.

In the latest clip in Men's Health's widely popular Gym & Fridge series, where the outlet visits celebrities and explores their fridges and gyms.

The 43-year-old actor was the most recent famous face to join the series, showing the men's magazine his chaotically delightful warehouse/artist commune in New Zealand.

However, Momoa made jaws drop when he answered the door in an open bathrobe.

In the video, Momoa shows off a fridge full of his Mananalu canned water, poi, and Guinness - as well as baring all while nude bicycle riding, boxing, and kettlebell swinging. Iconic, but also definitely NSFW.

The Game of Thrones actor revealed during the interesting interview that he loves to keep fit by doing a range of different activities - including boxing, mountain bike riding, and course rock climbing (is there anything he can't do?).

Aside from showcasing his genitals and incredible fitness regimen, Momoa also spoke about his future at DC and the upcoming sequel to 2018's Aquaman - with Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom hitting theaters December 20 this year - as well as his return to the Fast & Furious franchise. However, Momoa's most exciting project is one he developed himself, an Apple TV+ show called Chief of War.

He told Men's Health that the series explores Polynesian history from an indigenous perspective - which the actor promises is the first of its kind. The show follows the story of a Hawaiian chief who attempts to unite the islands against colonization in the late 1700s. To film this, Momoa is set to remain in New Zealand for at least the next year.

Momoa's latest venture will sadly keep him away from the two children he shares with his ex-wife Lisa Bonet - Nakoa-Wolf and Lola. "I don't get to see my kids right now for a very long time. I gotta share things with them. I'm doing everything that I want to do, everything that I'm designed to do. And you've got to do that. I want my children to know that and do that," the father admitted.

"I worked for a very long time when they were young doing s**t I didn't want to do to put food on the table. And now? You should only work with the people you wanna work with. You should create with the people you wanna create with. And if you're not, then you got one shot in this life - you gotta get the f**k out," he added. "Whatever situation you're in, you gotta find your path, you know?"

Many fans have taken to social media to comment on seeing Momoa in his birthday suit, with one person writing: "Where does he live? Asking for a friend."

Someone else added: "I'm definitely going to need the uncensored version of this immediately."

There's no denying that Jason Momoa is big – not just in terms of the growing list of roles to his acting resume, but also in body mass. He played the barbaric (but ultimately sweet) Khal Drogo in Game of Thrones and now is in full swing working with DC to play superhero Aquaman, both characters with brute strength clearly made visible by the fact that they're both usually shirtless. The Hawaiian-born actor has to be in top shape to do the characters justice, meaning he's had to work out hard to gain a lot of muscle. In fact, he put on an astounding 25 pounds of pure muscle in a short amount of time for the role of Aquaman, who featured in the recently released Justice League and is set to star in a solo effort in 2018. [[instagramwidget||https://www.instagram.com/p/Bbm092zH7Jf/?hl=en&taken-by=prideofgypsies]] So did he swim thousands of kilometers in order to get the heir of Atlantis physique? Of course not. No way can you get guns like those simply by paddling in the pool a few hours each day. Plus, the 38-year-old told Men's Health magazine “swimming can be boring. To me, it’s like going on a treadmill.”

According to Muscle and Strength magazine, Momoa has followed the Accelerated Results 7 (AR-7) routine for a while now. The full-body plan is unique in how it can get anyone in top shape in a short amount of time.

[[instagramwidget||https://www.instagram.com/p/BVdcW0Un9Ij/?hl=en&taken-by=prideofgypsies]]

The key is in using low reps, low weight, and little rest between exercises. Low weights without many reps? Sounds weird right? It comes down to the high tempo and fast pace, meaning you'll start to feel the burn much sooner, with the aim of reaching muscular failure.

This also means you'll be able to do the workout a few times a day, as Momoa did. Training for Aquaman, he was in the gym two hours a day for about five-to-six days a week. This level of dedication and having to work through the pain of deliberate muscle failure clearly paid off. [[instagramwidget||https://www.instagram.com/p/Bbc9DJJnU30/?hl=en&taken-by=prideofgypsies]]

The AR-7 routine was developed by personal trainer Eric Laciste, who Momoa's been training with since his role as Conan the Barbarian in 2010. The gym where Momoa trains with Laciste is LA-based is one that's seen other actors and stuntmen get ripped for films like 300 and Fight Club.

"It’s this huge warehouse and just a bunch of f**king bad-asses crushing weights," Momoa said, describing the gym. But it seems also before he started doing the Aquaman workouts, Momoa wasn't all that interested in hitting the weights.

"It's very hard sometimes to just work out. It's monotonous and you can get stuck in a rut," Momoa told Men's Health. "I get bored, so I do a lot more boxing, surfing, climbing – I do the things I love to do when I'm not training for a role."

"When I have to change my body type, then we just switch it up. Doing a lot more weights for size; a lot more cardio for definition."
