Actor Jason Momoa Shares Sweet Moments from Children’s First Metallica Show

Jason Momoa recently shared a meaningful family experience that highlighted his focus on being present as a father, beyond the demands of fame, premieres, and public attention.

Best known for his roles in Aquaman and Dune, Momoa has often said he defines success not just by career achievements, but by showing up for his children. That belief came to life on December 13, 2024, when he took his son Nakoa-Wolf, 16, and daughter Lola, 17, to their first-ever Metallica concert.

The event was held at the YouTube Theatre as part of Metallica’s annual Helping Hands benefit concert, organized by the band’s All Within My Hands Foundation. For Momoa, the night blended music, charity, and family bonding into a single experience.

Images from backstage captured the family smiling alongside band members, surrounded by the excitement of the show. Fans noted how much his children have grown, commenting on Nakoa-Wolf’s resemblance to his father and Lola’s calm, self-assured presence.

Momoa described the night simply, saying it made him the “happiest papa in the world.” Yet the moment carried deeper meaning beyond the excitement of the concert.

He has previously spoken about growing up without a steady father figure and how that shaped his commitment to active, intentional parenting. For him, being present is a deliberate choice, built through shared experiences.

In a fast-moving industry, the lasting image was not of a celebrity backstage, but of a father creating a memory with his children, quietly building a legacy rooted in time, trust, and connection.
