Jason Momoa: One of the toughest actors in the business is a big softie

(CNN)Jason Momoa is the type of guy who will talk about throwing a tomahawk one minute and the next, admit he always does the dirty dishes at his wife's request. He'll talk about the beauty of naked branches in the winter while a daunting, blood-covered rubber apron -- a prop, he later explained -- hangs above his head. He'll show you his handcrafted knife collection and later confess his aversion to hunting for pure sport.

"I'm a walking contradiction," he joked to CNN in a recent interview.

The truth is, Momoa knows movie and TV audiences don't really know a lot about the real him. But they will soon.

Best known for his role as hulking Dothraki leader Khal Drogo on "Game of Thrones," Momoa is in the midst of a huge -- and very busy -- chapter in his career. It includes two movies in which he takes on the role of water-dwelling superhero Aquaman, a new series on Netflix called "Frontier," and even some work behind the scenes. (Momoa produced and co-wrote his first feature, "Road to Paloma," in 2014 and he directs commercials for workwear clothing maker Carhartt.)

"I bit off a lot," he said of juggling filming "Frontier" with his "Justice League" commitment. "I bit off a whole lot this year, too. But I'll just keep chewing it."

"I taped it in here," Momoa said, sitting in his shed. "I just pretended like Batman was killed by some thug and some thug put on that suit and took it into his own hands and got a little bit dirtier than probably Batman would've. I played it completely opposite."

The producers loved it, but it wasn't right for Batman, who they needed to be older. Snyder had something else in mind, however.

"I thought I was going to play some f--king villain," Momoa said.

Aquaman made a brief cameo in "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice," but the character's real debut will take place in "Justice League." Momoa will begin training for the Aquaman standalone film in February.

"He's an amazing character, if you think about it. He walks in both worlds," he said. "I'd love to tell you all the cool s--t that's going to happen. I think it will be really good."

It's all happening for Momoa. But that doesn't mean he doesn't have goals.

One of them is to appear on what he calls his "favorite show" -- "Saturday Night Live."

"I love comedy," he said. "I'd love to do lots and lots and lots of comedies."

When the idea of one day hosting comes up, Momoa lit up.

"F--k any award. That is hands down, when I'll say I made it," he said. "Mrs. Bonet? Check. Boom. Yes. Healthy babies? Check. 'Saturday Night Live'? Yes. Done. I can die."
