Jason Momoa on Dune, His Workout Routine, and Life With Wife ...

“I like old, beautiful things,” he says, shrugging off the roadside havoc. “It feels like you’re in a time capsule when you’re riding an old bike.”But for all the old-man affection for classic racers and vintage Harleys, and for all the brick-house physicality that would’ve made him an outstanding ’80s action hero, Momoa has spent the past few years slowly revealing himself to be the most singular and surprising—the most modern, really—male movie star we’ve got. I’m absolutely terrified of my wife.” (His wife is actress Lisa Bonet, and if it’s still possible in these hard, cynical times for a man to worship his wife, Momoa surely tries. “Knowing Denis picked me to play this role,” Momoa says between mouthfuls of salami and cheddar, “I’ve never been this nervous.” Not that he really had to be. “My wife is very sophisticated and smart and [our kids and I are] kind of like animals that need to be trained a little better,” he says. “I can’t believe it—they love reading,” he says. Get outside.’ It’s insane.” While he has brought his family with him on shoots all over the world, Momoa says his kids are old enough that even though they still enjoy being with their dad, they don’t want to miss out on school and hanging with their friends. “I love her husband,” he says. I hope and pray my daughter is that talented and loving and open and close to her family.” Once Zoë started bringing boyfriends around the house, Kravitz played the whole thing super cool (no surprise there), while Momoa was the house worrier. “Lenny is way cooler than I am,” Momoa says. “I’m like, ‘If you find a man who treats you better than I [treat Bonet], good luck!’ ” A nice guy, in other words. “I’d also like to go from being the best fan of Guinness to being just a really good fan of Guinness,” he says. I remember one time I was all yoked out for Conan the Barbarian, and I was in a yoga class with these older ladies in Topanga and everyone was just holding their arms up and I was like, [screams] ‘This is so hard!’ ” The more Momoa makes fun of himself, the easier it is to envision him excelling in comedic roles, like John Cena or the Rock. “My son just loses it,” Momoa says.
