We knew that Johnny Depp was inspired by Keith Richards, the famous guitarist of the Rolling Stones, to create his character of the pirate Jack Sparrow in the Pirates of the Caribbean saga. Today we learn that Jason Momoa has also drawn the rock legend to bring his Aquaman character to life.
“Rock and Roll Stars”
During a recent appearance on the set of Jimmy Kimmel, Jason Momoa, who was no doubt surprised by one of his Aquaman 2 cast’s disappointments, revealed that if his character was more “Rock and Roll Stars” that in the pages of the comic he was inspired by Slash, the iconic guitarist of Guns N’ Roses.
“Watch Aquaman in the first movie Justice League. I said to myself: “This is a character slanted“”Jason Momoa is excited in front of Jimmy Kimmel. “How do you want to dress when you have to play Aquaman? I’m not going to dress him in a polo shirt and khakis. The character just rocks. Zack Snyder designed it to be rock and roll. He punches Superman in the face and kisses Wonder Woman, he doesn’t care.”
And Jason Momoa added: “Slash is a very important person in my life. And his music is also very important.” The legendary guitarist of the hard-rock group Guns N’ Roses should appreciate the compliment.
Real name Saul Hudson, the British slasher appeared on the big screen with his band in the stage detective Harry is the last target, a feature film directed by Clint Eastwood and released in cinemas in 1988.
