Lisa Bonet’s husband gives rare glimpse into their family life 

Luther Vandross was outed as gay after his death.

He might be a musclebound superhero in the new Aquaman film, but Jason Momoa is nothing if not a softie.

The Carhartt clothing company produced a short movie called Canvas of my Life starring Momoa, his kids and his wife, Lisa Bonet.

The video begins with the Game of Thrones actor playing with his children, Lola, 9, and Nakoa-Wolf, 8, in a field of wheat.

In a dulcet voiceover, he says, “I always wanted to be a father, but never in my life did I ever think I would be an actor.”

He goes on to say that he “was raised in small town America, surrounded by hard work, corn fields and pigs,” as images of a construction site are shown.

Momoa discusses some of his passions in life in the movie as well. He talks about skateboarding and rock climbing, which he states “made me face my fears and my doubts, problem solve through movement. I found balance and I found my passion.”

He also discusses how he felt when he first met his wife of 9 years.

“I fell stupid, crazy, madly in love with her,” he recalls affectionately. “My wife gave me three beautiful, feral kids.”

Momoa then discusses how his children gave his life the anchor that it needed. “With them, my dreams finally came true; I’m a father, I found my place, my home.”

Unfortunately, he says, traveling for work all the time is not always compatible with the perfect home life.

“But now my passion for storytelling pulls me away for long periods of time, and that scares me. The nomadic lifestyle that once inspired me, now takes me away from the things I love most. My family.”

But he says, “If I can teach them hard work, dedication, integrity, a moral code… every time my children play, they can feel that their papa is always with them.”

The movie then turns towards the advertising side of things while still remaining sweet and meaningful.

“Everything I am is in these pants… And there will come a day, when I’ll be gone, and my children, or my grandchildren will find these beat-up old Carhartts in a dusty corner somewhere, and they will know, this is the canvas of my life.”
