He also has a 19-year-old daughter, Simone Johnson, from his marriage to Dany Garcia.

In the clip, he starts to ask her, “Who’s cooler, Daddy or Aquaman?” but before he can even complete his sentence, she blurts out, “Aquaman.” For more on Momoa’s post-GOT career, check out Jason Momoa Says This Is Why No One Would Hire Him After Game of Thrones. Johnson posted a video to Instagram of Tiana and her sister, five-year-old Jasmine Johnson, watching the video message Momoa sent for Tiana’s birthday. Tiana sits on a table looking absolutely enthralled as the actor talks, even waving at the TV at one point. In his message, Momoa says that they’ll meet in person one day, and he’ll have a present for her and Jasmine. He says that they can “get together and play and maybe rock climb and go surfing.” He adds, “I’m sorry I couldn’t be there, but I love you. And tell your papa that I love him, too. And I will see you soon, happy third birthday.” At the end, Tiana hops up from her seat and starts jumping around with a huge smile on her face.

Her reaction is priceless and what it’s all about,” Johnson wrote. He added of the Aquaman star, “You epitomize one of my favorite quotes, ‘It’s nice to be important, but it’s more important to be nice’.

Momoa and Johnson have posted about each other on Instagram previously. As reported by Metro, in January 2019, Johnson shared on Instagram that he wanted Momoa to be cast to play his brother in Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw, but “his schedule was too packed.” Then, in July of the same year, Momoa thanked Johnson for being part of the Protect Mauna Kea protests in Hawaii, which he also passionately supported. Momoa was thankful that “the number 1 and most impactful movie star in the world” was joining the cause. “I’m honoured to show the almost 13 million people what I care about most,” the actor wrote on Instagram. “But when @therock posts 150+ million people alone will see what this awesome human is doing for the Hawaiian people.” The two may just cross paths again, this time onscreen. While Momoa is already Aquaman, Johnson will soon join the world of DC Comics movies as Black Adam. For recent movies that experts hated, check out The Worst Movie of 2020, According to Critics.
