Jason Momoa says he’s kept his work on the TV series Baywatch under wrap from his kids.
The Aquaman leading man, 42, who shares daughter Lola Iolani, 14, and son Nakoa-Wolf Manakauapo Namakaeha, 12, with wife Lisa Bonet, 53, was asked on the Australian program Fitzy & Wippa what they think of his early career work on Baywatch.
The 6ft4 screen star, who played the role of Jason Ioane on 44 episodes of the show from 1999 until 2001, replied, ‘We don’t say the B word here. We hide all of that mate! Never happened mate!’

‘We don’t talk about those words, the B word didn’t happen,’ he said.
The Honolulu, Hawaii native also said his kids haven’t seen his work on the HBO show Game of Thrones, as he played the role of Khal Drogo from 2011-2012.
‘They’re not going to watch Game of Thrones either even though it’s fantastic,’ he said of the series, which contained graphic scenes depicting sex and violence.
He added: ‘So right now superheroes and we’re good.’

Things in the Zoom interview took an awkward turn when Wippa’s wife Lisa gatecrashed the interview and revealed she had a little crush on the Hollywood hunk.
After the couple enjoyed a few cocktails before the chat, Lisa worked up the confidence to tell Momoa that he’s welcome to stay at their $6.5million Rose Bay mansion the next time he’s in Sydney.
‘Hang on, my wife has just walked in, she was responsible for the eyebrow,’ Wippa explained, after he shaved his eyebrow to match Jason’s trademark eyebrow scar.
‘Do you want to ask Jason a question honey?’ Wippa asked.
Lisa excitedly chimed in, saying: ‘Hi how are you Jason? Congratulations on the movie. This might sound really creepy, but when Covid-19 is over you’re more than welcome to stay with us, we have a spare bedroom!’
Momoa hilariously quipped back: ‘I’m there!’
Wippa then dryly remarked: ‘You can hop out now honey. You were warned Jason, I apologize about that!’

The American actor even hilariously tried out an Aussie accent every now and then throughout the chat, saying ‘mate’ with a twang upon occasion.
At one point, he spoke about his signature long hair with an Aussie accent and quipped: ‘I’ve got the blonde ends mate!’
Momoa also sent a sweet message to his Australian fans, telling them to keep strong while in lockdown amid the Covid-19 pandemic.
‘Tell everyone in Australia I love them,’ Momoa said. ‘I truly enjoy your country, sorry about the lockdown, I hope you all stay safe.’
The A-list action star appeared to promote his new project Sweet Girl, which is slated to be released August 20.
