You'd think after starring in a show like Game of Thrones, the jobs would be flying in.

Not if you're Jason Momoa, though.

Obviously nowadays he plays Aquaman so it all worked out well in the end, but back in the post-Khal Drogo days he had one big problem: people didn't seem to realise he could speak English.

"It was heartbreaking," says Momoa. "I was like: 'That's why I'm not getting any jobs'!"

Just look at him now, though.
