Jason Momoa admits his “Conan: the Barbarian” was “a lot of shit”

Although Jason Momoa is now a superstar in Hollywood, his beginnings were not the most promising. In 2011, the same year that “Game of Thrones” (whose role as Khal Drogo would have given him the leap in fame) began, Momoa starred in a film that would be bloody critically insulted. Let’s talk about ‘Conan the Barbarian’, the reboot of the legendary 1982 film, ‘Conan, the Barbarian (1982)’, starring Arnold Schwarzenegger. This failed remake caused Lionsgate, the production company in charge of the film, to lose about $ 26.5 million, excluding any kind of relaunch of the eighties saga.

In a recent interview with GQ, the ‘Aquaman’ star reflected on his career and the projects he was involved in that turned out to be a flop after the takeover. “I’ve been a part of a lot of really bad things and movies that you don’t have control over. ‘Conan’ was one of them. It was one of the best experiences I’ve ever had, but others have taken it over and turned it into a piece of shit.”revealed Momoa.

The actor also took the opportunity to tell how he tried to part with that macho role he was associated with after playing somewhat macho characters: “It was difficult because for people I am always the one who plays those male characters. But I want the characters to move me, I want something new “explained the actor, “Things are changing and even the evil roles I play now are eccentric”.

The next bad, now

Precisely soon We will see Momoa as the antagonist of “Fast & Furious 10”, the new film in the ‘Fast & Furious’ saga led by Vin Diesel. According to the actor himself, his character will have his toenails painted pink and purple as he drives a lavender car. “I’m having the best time of my life”commented the actor about his change of image.

This tenth installment has a more than stellar cast with the regular characters of the saga, Diesel, Michelle Rodriguez, Jordana Brewster, Tyrese Gibson, Ludacris, Nathalie Emmanuel, Sung Kang, as well as the confirmed return of Charlize Theron as Cipher, Michael Rooker as Buddy, Scott Eastwood as Eric Reisner and rapper Cardi B as Leysa. Not to mention, of course, the latest signings: Brie Larson, Alan Ritchson and Momoa himself.
