Celebrities love to take things from the sets after they finish working on the TV show or movie as it reminds them of all the good memories. Actor Jason Momoa does this regularly as he loves taking things from the sets as a souvenir.
Momoa starred in Game of Thrones as Khal Drogo, Dani’s Dothraki warrior husband. The role helped him in gaining a lot of recognition. There is a fight scene in the show where he cuts a warrior’s throat and pulls the tongue out. As per Momoa, this scene was not in the books and he was the first one to convince the creators to include a scene that is not in the books. He also took a disgusting prop from the set after he filmed the scene.

In a 2019 interview with Entertainment Weekly, actor Jason Momoa talked about his time on the sets of Game of Thrones. The actor played the role of Khal Drogo, whose time on the show was short-lived. In the interview, he explained that his daughter used to accompany him on the sets of the show,
“I’m doing that scene where I cut the guy’s throat and I pull the guy’s tongue out. My daughter was with me on set. I love taking [my kids] everywhere, but I’m covered in blood, and she’s sitting there knitting with the wardrobe department. She’s so cute. I’m like, ‘Hi, baby!’ Then I’d go and be like, ‘Raaa!’ She was, like, 4 years old. ‘Papa’s just playing’– not fazed by it at all. It was a very memorable moment.”
Jason Momoa first appeared on Baywatch: Hawaii which made him famous. He appeared in several TV shows and movies then in 2011, he got the role in Game of Thrones. His run on the show ended in just one year.

The actor also revealed that there is a scene in the show where he decapitated a man and pulled out his tongue. He explained that he managed to convince the creators to add that scene, which wasn’t in the books,
“I called up Dan and David. I think it was one of the first scenes that was never in the book, and George called me out on it, I think while we were doing the [Comic-Con] panel. I always wanted to see [Drogo] go to battle. I didn’t want to do some elaborate fight scene. I think it’s [just as] intimidating to whisper in someone’s ear and go, ‘Stop that.’ You can just parry; I don’t need to do any fight moves. Then you just take the guy’s sword and slice his throat out.”
The past few years have been great for Momoa. He recently appeared as Dante Reyes in Fast X and made an appearance as Aquaman in The Flash.

Momoa further explained that he liked to take a memorable prop from every set he goes to and this time he took home something disgusting,
“I was like, ‘We can get a chicken breast, and we’ll just cover my hand in blood, and that’ll do it.’ And then within days, they had this f**king throat and tongue attachment, and it looked amazing. I’m a big fan of taking the things that I worked with. So I have the souvenir of the tongue and the throat. That’s just on my desk.”
With his strong screen presence and ability to portray a wide range of characters, Jason Momoa has managed to establish himself as a successful star in the entertainment industry.
Game of Thrones is streaming on HBO Max.
