Jason Momoa reveals he nearly DROWNED while surfing in Hawaii: ‘I gave up’
You almost drowned for real. Yeah. I uh I was doing this paddle like 13 miles down the coast and you’re kind of almost a mile offshore and then my leash snapped and I was about and I was uh we’re about 7 milesi into it. I just couldn’t see anyone coming to get me and I couldn’t move anymore and I’m literally in the middle of the ocean and I’m just I could barely put my lips above just to breathe and get a break but I had already given up. So, it’s like you’ve already given up and died and have the second chance at it.
Jason Momoa appeared on the “Smartless” podcast Monday and recounted the time he almost drowned off the coast of Maui 18 years ago.
“I was doing this paddle, we went in at Jaws,” the “Aquaman” star, 46, said, referring to the island’s biggest surf break. “We paddled like 13 miles down the coast. You’re kind of almost a mile offshore, and then my leash snapped.”
