Jason Momoa is no stranger to the spotlight.
But at the 82nd Venice International Film Festival, it wasn’t the Aquaman star who became the talk of the red carpet — it was his 16-year-old son, Nakoa-Wolf Momoa.
The teen turned heads in a bold, black-and-white patterned short-sleeve shirt, dark trousers, and layered necklaces as he walked alongside his famous father at the Cartier Glory to the Filmmaker Award 2025 and the premiere of “In the Hand of Dante” on September 3, 2025.
While Jason leaned into his signature laid-back style — a pale pink suit paired with an open-collar white shirt — Nakoa-Wolf radiated quiet confidence, effortlessly commanding attention.
The moment the photos surfaced, social media erupted.
Fans were divided — not on whether he looked good, but on who he takes after.
Some insisted he was the spitting image of his father, with comments like:
“Looks like dad. Identical nose.”
“He’s Jason’s mini-me.”
Others saw Lisa Bonet, his mother, in his features:
“He has his mom’s eyes.”
“Man, he’s all his mother.”
“Lisa’s genes are strong.”
One user even joked, “Why does he look like a better-looking teenage Dwayne Johnson?”
But one thing was unanimous:
Nakoa-Wolf has officially arrived.
Over the years, fans have watched him grow up in the background of red carpets and family events.
Now, at 16, he’s stepping into the spotlight — and he’s doing it with style.
From the “Aquaman” premiere in 2017, where he flashed a playful rock sign beside his mom, to the “Lego Movie 2” premiere in 2019, where the Momoa kids brought fun energy to the blue carpet, Nakoa-Wolf has always had a cool, understated presence.
By 2021, he was posing next to James Bond’s Aston Martin at the No Time to Die premiere.
In 2022, he lit up the carpet at Slumberland with his sister Lola Iolani.
In 2024, he turned heads at Metallica’s foundation concert in edgy, rockstar-inspired fashion.
And now, in 2025, he’s not just accompanying his dad — he’s sharing the spotlight.
At Venice, he stood tall beside Jason, laughing with stars like Oscar Isaac, flashing his signature smile, and posing with a calm, natural ease that belied his age.
One fan summed it up:
“This kid is going to break the internet in five years.”
The Momoa family has always been close-knit, often appearing together in traditional-inspired outfits that honor their Hawaiian roots — like at the “Chief of War” premiere, where Jason, Nakoa-Wolf, and Lola stood proudly in cultural attire.
But this moment in Venice felt different.
It wasn’t just a family appearance.
It was a passing of the torch.
Nakoa-Wolf isn’t just Jason Momoa’s son anymore.
He’s his own person — stylish, self-assured, and ready for the world.
And if the reaction is any indication?
The world is ready for him.
