Jason Momoa bans kids from acting

OHMYGOSSIP — Jason Momoa has banned his children from going into acting.
The 42-year-old actor may have a successful collection of blockbusters and TV shows under his belt, but he doesn’t want his daughter Lola, 14, and son Nakoa, 12 – whom he has with his wife Lisa Bonet – to follow in his footsteps because he doesn’t think they’re “strong” enough to deal with the pressure and he will do whatever he can to ensure they don’t pursue a career in the glamorous industry.
Speaking to ‘Entertainment Tonight’, he said: “Aw man, one of them wants to do it and I’m not a fan. I don’t want them to. I don’t know. I’ll try my damnedest to keep ’em out of it. I love storytelling, I love theatrical things, I like directing and filmmaking, but I just want them to, you know, really to go for other things. If they [really] want to, maybe. But I don’t want them to get into acting. It’s very hard on people and I don’t want them to have that pressure. I’m tough, I can handle it, but I wouldn’t want to put someone I love [through] that.”
And the ‘Aquaman’ star is even trying to branch out from acting himself and, instead, land a few more directing roles.
He explained: “I’ve been directing for a while now, so it’s been a passion. I love to see the full project, not just be in one piece of it. But it’s nice also to just do the actor stuff. I’m happy I can do both.”
But, although he’s planning to focus more on directing, Jason – who is the stepfather of actress Zoe Kravitz – is determined to make a film with his friend Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson “one of these days.”
He said recently: “I met him almost 20 years ago in Hawaii. We both have the same very close friend and we met through that. We said we’d stay in touch and we’ve tried to get together and make a movie together, just he’s way busier than I am and I’m pretty busy right now. One of these days…”
