While arriving at the airport this week, [superhero actor](https://time.com/5484268/aquaman-post-credits-scene/) Jason Momoa was [approached by reporters](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CfJntvXO-XY) trying to get a reaction out of him about the recent suggestions that he’s got what’s popularly called a dad bod. But Momoa wasn’t having it. “Did that offend you when people said you [had a dad bod](https://time.com/4501147/chris-pratt-weight-stephen-colbert/)?” the unseen _TMZ_ reporter asks. “Not at all,” Momoa responds, with a look of silent laughter. He even joked about having recently consumed a [Guinness birthday cake](https://www.instagram.com/p/B0ee4MnAKTA/) at a surprise birthday party organized by his friends and attended by none other than his former _Game of Thrones_ costar and wife [Emilia Clarke](https://time.com/5591654/emilia-clarke-game-of-thrones-instagram/), also known as Daenerys Targaryen to Momoa’s Khal Drogo. (Momoa turns 40 on Aug. 1.) Earlier in July, Momoa was on the receiving end of [some trolling online](https://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/jason-momoa-body-shaming-dad-bod-twitter-pool-lisa-bonet-a8998266.html) after [photos surfaced](https://www.instagram.com/usweekly/?utm%5Fsource=ig%5Fembed) of the famously ripped actor shirtless by the pool while on vacation in Italy with his wife Lisa Bonet. Some commenters believed he was approaching the “dad bod” stage, a warm term often used when defined abs are no longer visible. Clearly, Momoa doesn’t care much one way or the other what anonymous people think of his fitness — nor should he. With the announcement of [_Aquaman 2_](https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0597388/) in the works for 2022, he’s got plenty else to keep him busy. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/5638798/jason-momoa-talks-dad-bod/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/5638798/jason-momoa-talks-dad-bod/"},"headline":"Birthday Boy Jason Momoa Is Immune to Dad Bod Comments and Living His Best Life","datePublished":"2019-07-30T15:31:49.000Z","dateModified":"2026-08-04T07:47:04.667Z","description":"What dad bod?","url":"https://time.com/5638798/jason-momoa-talks-dad-bod/","keywords":["Newsfeed","celebrities","onetime"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Raisa Bruner","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/raisa-bruner/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/5638798/jason-momoa-talks-dad-bod/","name":"Birthday Boy Jason Momoa Is Immune to Dad Bod Comments and Living His Best Life"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"Aquaman Official Trailer","description":"Aquaman Official Trailer","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/q6USg2qm/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2018-07-21T19:38:11.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/q6USg2qm.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/5638798/jason-momoa-talks-dad-bod/","duration":"PT2M25S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/5638798/jason-momoa-talks-dad-bod/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
