Jason Momoa’s 46 birthday has come just in time for major career milestones.
Momoa celebrated his 46th birthday while filming for Dune: Part Three set. August 1 also marked the premiere of his passion project, the Apple TV+ series Chief of War.
"On my birthday, Chief of War comes out. This is my first day I'm doing Dune," Momoa told People. "I'm not going to lie to you — July has been like bang, bang, bang, bang. The comedown is going to be brutal."
The Hawaiian native star filmed Chief of War, which follows a chief who reunites the Islands, in Hawaii and also hosted the red carpet there.
Gushing over the moment, he said it was "beyond pinch me — it’s punch me in the face!”
"I don't think there's anything bigger that I've ever experienced," he said.
"I feel like this whole thing has chosen me in a way, like this is my destiny," he said of the miniseries. "I have no idea how I got to all this, but we're here, and I'm very grateful. I'm living my dream doing what I love to do. To play my ancestors is such a responsibility. It’s scary and exciting."
July also provided the Aquaman star the opportunity to host Ozzy Osburne’s last concert with his band Black Sabbath before the singer passed away on July 22.
