According to Los Angeles Magazine, Jason Momoa is well equipped to be the ocean’s champion that he is today. That’s because the future Aquaman tailored his studies toward the ocean in college, despite never officially getting his degree. “I was actually going to school for marine biology and then I switched over to wildlife biology,” Momoa told The Chicago Tribune in 2014. “I went to school out in Colorado. I was living out in Fort Collins. I wanted to get to know my dad better in Hawaii, and then the TV show [Baywatch] came and it kind of changed my whole life.”
“Baywatch” may have kickstarted Momoa’s acting career, but his marine biology background undoubtedly helped him snag the starring role as a real-life DC superhero. Fans of the comics know that Aquaman’s ability to communicate with underwater creatures comes in handy when he needs help — and an understanding of the oceans makes the whole thing appear more realistic. In 2017, “Aquaman’s” producing team, Zack and Deborah Snyder, told Los Angeles Times that Momoa’s connection to water made him their first choice to play the character. “We’re big ‘Game of Thrones’ fans … I remember Jason Momoa [as Dothraki chieftain Khal Drogo.] Zack was like, ‘Jason would be the perfect Aquaman.’ I was like, ‘It’s so out of the box. But yeah!’ He can be tough. And he feels like he comes from the water,” Deborah shared.
