Years before he dove into the Aquaman role in the DC Comics-inspired movies, Jason Momoa captivated audiences as the imposing warlord Khal Drogo on "Game of Thrones."
Though the character _ who was the husband of Emilia Clarke's Daenerys Targaryen _ met an early demise during the show's first season, Momoa says he never wonders what it'd be like had Drogo lived on the wildly popular HBO series.
"I'm actually really, really happy with how it all turned out because, you know, you just can't keep that character alive," Momoa told the Daily News. "Even when I watch it, it just wouldn't fit. Khaleesi (Daenerys) ... I feel like she inherits that strength and she has to be by herself and do it that way."
Momoa remains a big fan of the show, and while he doesn't find out what happens in episodes before they air, that doesn't stop him from acting like he knows to tease his wife, actress Lisa Bonet.
"I wouldn't want to know anyways. I hate that stuff," Momoa said. "It's funny because I'll mess with my wife, because she's a massive, massive fan, so I'll kind of pretend that I know something ... just to mess with her. But I don't want to know. We're huge fans. It's the greatest show on earth."
The long-awaited eighth and final season of "Game of Thrones" is set to premiere in April.
And though it's been more than seven years since Momoa last appeared in an episode, the popularity of his character has prevailed.
"Even now, people just can't stop, like, they love Khal Drogo," Momoa said. "It's unbelievable. Like, one season. I don't know any other character that's done one season out of eight or nine that people just go (wild). I didn't know it was going to be that big."
"Aquaman" hits theaters Friday.
