The 46-year-old “Game of Thrones” star hit the Venice red carpet in style — but it was his teenage son who stole the show and set social media ablaze.
Jason Momoa graced the 82nd Venice International Film Festival alongside his teenage son, Nakoa-Wolf Manakaupo Namakaeha Momoa, whom he had with his ex-wife, Lisa Bonet. The sight of the pair together instantly set social media ablaze with fans debating who the boy most resembled.
The duo attended the Cartier Glory to the Filmmaker Award 2025 and the premiere of “In the Hand of Dante” on September 3, 2025, at the Palazzo del Cinema. While Jason is no stranger to commanding the spotlight, it was his son who drew the most attention.
Nakoa-Wolf, 16, cut a striking figure in a black-and-white patterned short-sleeve shirt, dark trousers, and layered necklaces. At his side, Jason leaned into his signature laid-back red-carpet style, pairing a pale pink suit with an open-collar white shirt — effortless, camera-ready cool.
Images from the event quickly flooded social media, sparking a debate about Nakoa-Wolf’s resemblance to his famous parents. One person remarked, “Lisa’s kids all look so much like her and nothing like their dads. Strong genes,” while another said, “Looks nothing like his dad at all…!!!”
More netizens expressed the opposite view, with one stating, “Looks like dad. Identical nose,” and another chiming in, “He looks like his dad from the younger years.” A separate commenter declared, “Looks just like his dad.”
Besides comparing the teen to his dad, someone else shared a different observation, “Why does he look like a better looking teenage DeWayne Johnson [sic].”
Instagram users shared equally passionate views. “He has his moms [sic] eyes,” a fan observed, while another gushed, “He has his mother’s beautiful face 🥹😍.” Someone else raved, “Man he’s all his mother.”
With netizens divided over whether he takes after Jason or Lisa, one thing is certain: Nakoa-Wolf has captured the public’s attention. Take a look at how the teen has evolved over the years before stepping into the spotlight beside his famous dad.
