Jason Momoa, a well-known actor best known for his role in the Aquaman superhero film, has revealed that he nearly died while surfing in the Hawaiian waters.
Hollywood star Jason Momoa has spoken of a near-death experience at sea – and said it made him quit smoking. The beefcake actor is famous for his role in the Aquaman superhero movies battling to rule the underwater kingdom of Atlantis.
Jason claimed that he and three friends were surfing in his native Hawaii and had to confront his own problems while in the ocean and had to fight for his life. You’re almost a mile offshore, he said after 13 miles of paddle-driving down the coast. My leash broke about seven miles into it.
And it’s so windy on Maui and so the board just went, I couldn’t even see it anymore.” It comes after Taylor Swift sparks engagement rumours as fans spot Travis Kelce’s lock screen.

In a notoriously risky area of the water surfers refer to as “s***f***s,” Jason, 46, claimed he was being battered by 10-foot waves that were crashing down on his head. He continued, “You just get hit with these waves and it pulls you out.”
So I was trapped in this bizarre location, unaware that I actually was on the outer reef and that no one could see me. They couldn’t see me because I was waving my paddle.
“And the waves were so big, it practically sucked my shorts off,” he said. After a while, I was outside and suddenly I could not see anyone approaching. And I lost my arms and legs because, you see, I was outside for a while.
Jason’s friend Larry Hamilton assisted him when he said he was considering his 3-month-old daughter when he was in the same situation. He stated, “I had already given up and he came from behind.” My body stopped, and I felt like I couldn’t raise my arms.
“And then the outer reef hit my toe.” Like, I literally gave up and now my foot just screams inside. And I’m not sure if it was a whale that f***ed me or if it just might have been a rock. But I had to grab it as I did. I make a jump.
“I dig my feet into the coral after being hit by another wave.” And I’m actually in the ocean’s center. And I’m just… Just to breathe and take a break, my lips were barely raised. But I was already dead. You now appear to have passed away and have a second chance at it.
Then, for about ten minutes, I went outside. On this reef, I was hunched over. And I hear Larry standing behind me, towing his board. And as we get started, he says, “Are you alright? ” I’m like, ‘ No. ‘ I can recall seeing him, but I was already dead for ten minutes.
Jason confessed to the SmartLess podcast that he prayed to his ancestors because he was so afraid of dying. He also admitted to smoking to the hosts, who included Will Arnett, Sean Hayes, and Jason Bateman, as well.
I have seven more miles to paddle, the Game of Thrones actor said. My feet are bloody. And I’m actually looking for my ancestors, who are still paddling the rest of the way.
“I do think my ancestors were here. My grandmother and my grandfather were also praying. If you’re stuck out there in those kinds of waves without a board, you’re screwed and there’s no way to swim in. I was reaching and in a bad position. That is not what I have. Therefore, it was a bad situation.
I mean, I could have trolling, there were sharks everywhere, but I’m just like trolling the entire coast. I used to smoke two or three packs per day. I was unable to stop caring for my ex, nor did I. I was unable to quit smoking.
“And I never smoked again when I came out.” I just passed away, I mean. Like I tried and tried, but I just gave up because I was unable to do it once more. I did, for example, give up my life.
Jason Momoa’s SmartLess podcast interview will be available for general consumption starting August 11.
