00:00 In the ongoing seizing trend for the House of the Dragons season 2, people are remembering
00:06 the series Game of Thrones and have started re-watching it.
00:10 Do you remember that one cruel, ruthless character from the series?
00:15 Yes, we are talking about Khal Drogo.
00:18 Khal Drogo was the most brutal character of this cult series which is known for its hugeness
00:25 and intimacy.
00:27 If you have seen this series, you know that Khal Drogo had some intimate moments with
00:32 Daenerys Targaryen.
00:33 Khal Drogo was played by actor Jason Momoa.
00:37 It was the most significant role in Jason's entire career.
00:43 But he never wanted his wife to watch Game of Thrones because of this character.
00:48 Every actor from Game of Thrones gained a lot more popularity because of this cultural
00:54 phenomenon and so to Jason.
00:56 Jason's character revolved around Daenerys Targaryen, played by Emilia Clarke.
01:02 There was forceful love between these two and even this actress said once that she would
01:09 cry before their intimate scene.
01:11 Yet, their on-screen chemistry was loved by the audience.
01:15 But during that whole process, Jason honestly tried his best to make her feel comfortable.
01:21 On the other hand, this actor didn't want his wife, Lisa Burnett to see his brutal intimate
01:28 sex scenes.
01:29 Jason and Lisa dated each other for 17 years since 2005 and in the year 2017, they married
01:37 each other.
01:38 But unfortunately, this couple couldn't survive in their real love life and got separated
01:44 in 2022.
01:45 He said, "I didn't want my wife to see Game of Thrones and she ended up becoming
01:51 obsessed.
01:52 She was dreaming about it and she was so obsessed.
01:56 It was like we didn't go to the premiere.
01:58 I was like, 'I don't do anything but do Emilia Clarke for the first two episodes.
02:04 I don't even speak.
02:05 We don't need to go.'
02:07 But she never listened."
02:08 But after Khal Drogo's role, it became difficult for this actor to get any other roles.
02:15 And in that phase, Lisa supported him the most.
02:19 Before Game of Thrones, we have seen Jason in DC's Old Universe.
02:24 And now, on the professional work front, he will hit the screen through the DC's Extended
02:29 Universe with the role of Aquaman.
