“I’m doing that scene where I cut the guy’s throat and I pull the guy’s tongue out. My daughter was with me on set. I love taking [my kids] everywhere, but I’m covered in blood, and she’s sitting there knitting with the wardrobe department. She’s so cute. I’m like, ‘Hi, baby!’ Then I’d go and be like, ‘Raaa!’ She was, like, 4 years old. ‘Papa’s just playing’– not fazed by it at all. It was a very memorable moment.”

The actor also revealed that there is a scene in the show where he decapitated a man and pulled out his tongue. He explained that he managed to convince the creators to add that scene, which wasn’t in the books,
“I called up Dan and David. I think it was one of the first scenes that was never in the book, and George called me out on it, I think while we were doing the [Comic-Con] panel. I always wanted to see [Drogo] go to battle. I didn’t want to do some elaborate fight scene. I think it’s [just as] intimidating to whisper in someone’s ear and go, ‘Stop that.’ You can just parry; I don’t need to do any fight moves. Then you just take the guy’s sword and slice his throat out.”
The past few years have been great for Momoa. He recently appeared as Dante Reyes inFast Xand made an appearance as Aquaman inThe Flash.

“I was like, ‘We can get a chicken breast, and we’ll just cover my hand in blood, and that’ll do it.’ And then within days, they had this f**king throat and tongue attachment, and it looked amazing. I’m a big fan of taking the things that I worked with. So I have the souvenir of the tongue and the throat. That’s just on my desk.”
