Jason Momoa is currently dominating trends following his recent performance in A Minecraft Movie, which left audiences in stitches. While the actor has firmly established himself in Tinseltown, he has also gained significant popularity for his diverse heritage. As such, fans frequently post queries about his family and extended clan members. One question that has long puzzled internet users is whether Jason Momoa is related to Houston Rockets star Steven Adams.
Here’s everything you need to know about the relationship between Steven Adams and the Game of Thrones star.
Despite the constant confusion surrounding the topic, Jason Momoa and Steven Adams are neither brothers nor related to each other in any way. In fact, the only link they share is the uncanny similarity in their facial features.
The query about his relationship with Jason Momoa has pestered Steven Adams ever since he made his NBA debut with the Oklahoma City Thunder. In a 2016 interview with TMZ, Adams famously revealed that fans once mistook him for the Aquaman star while he was visiting clubs. “When I was in Croatia, I got mistaken for him,” the New Zealand center noted. In the same interaction, Adams also stated that even though he hadn’t “given it [acting] too much thought,” he was “not eliminating” the idea.
In August 2024, the pair made waves — all while reigniting false rumors about their shared heritage — when they attended New Zealand’s 42–10 victory over Argentina in the Rugby Championship. Acknowledging their striking resemblance, Jason Momoa even took to Instagram Stories to joke that he and Steven Adams were actually twins, as noted by @funakistats. While on the pitch, Momoa captured the atmosphere at Eden Park, shouting, “Look at that. Twinsies,” as soon as Adams entered the frame.
