Jason Momoa has opened up about the realities some stars face while working in TV and film.
Unless you’re lucky enough to get back-to-back roles in Hollywood, then there may be periods of time where you go without work.
Euphoria star Nika King said she was ‘unable to pay rent’ earlier this year following the unexpected wait between filming seasons of the hit HBO show.

Meanwhile, after jobs fizzled out for Sopranos favorite Drea de Matteo, she had to turn to OnlyFans to keep her and her family afloat.
This is something that Jason Momoa also knows all to well after falling ‘completely in debt’ when work dried up after his role in Game of Thrones.
Momoa starred as Daenerys Targaryen’s (Emilia Clarke) husband, Khal Drogo, in the popular show.
But in line with the books penned by George R. R. Martin, Drogo dies as a result of an infection and is killed off at the end of season one.
With his character’s death in mind, Momoa was left without a job.
Speaking about his home life with now-estranged wife Lisa Bonet and their kids after the show, the actor shared with InStyle magazine in 2020: “We were starving after Game of Thrones.“
