Jason Momoa has been in a wide range of projects over his career, and he's opening up about what his teenage kids are not allowed to watch.

"They got to see a lot of stuff that Papa's been doing," Momoa said in a recent appearance on the Australian radio show "Fitzy and Wippa," referring to the two children he shares with wife Lisa Bonet: 14-year-old Lola and 12-year-old Nakoa-Wolf.

"The earlier things in my career, you can't see that," he said.

Yes, that includes the early days in his career when he starred as lifeguard Jason Ioane in "Baywatch: Hawaii" from 1999 to 2001.

"We don't say the B-word at home! We hide all of that mate! Never happened mate!" joked Momoa. "The B-word didn't happen."

Momoa, who starred as Khal Drogo on "Game of Thrones," also added the HBO series to the no-watch list "even though it's fantastic," he said.

But Momoa said all the superhero movies are fair game, which makes sense because his kids have grown up on the sets where he played Aquaman.

"They got to be there on 'Justice League,'" Momoa said. "Wolfie's worn the cowl and [Lola]'s worn the tiara from 'Wonder Woman,'" Momoa said. "I think the kids are really happy."

Momoa is currently in London filming "Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom." The movie is slated to open in theaters on December 16, 2022.
