Aquaman star Jason Momoa swaps a trident for silk pyjamas as he joins the list of celebrities reading a CBeebies Bedtime Story.
Jason Momoa is following in the footsteps of Tom Hardy and joins the growing roster of celebrity readers for CBeebies Bedtime Stories. Momoa will be appearing on TV screens across the UK in black silk pyjamas and reading Tiddler by Julia Donaldson to the kiddos – and probably a few parents, too.
“One of my favourite books that I read to my children as they were growing up was The Gruffalo, so I am very happy to read another amazing story by Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler for a CBeebies Bedtime Story,” Momoa said of his stint on the popular children’s programme.
It’s a big week for CBeebies Bedtime Stories with a high profile list of readers. Tom Hardy kicks things off with a reading of Tisha And The Blossom by Wendy Meddour and illustrated by Daniel Egnéus.
Hardy will be followed by Mr Motivator reading Into The Wild by Thomas Docherty on Tuesday, Talia Mar reading Princesses Break Free by Timothy Knapman on Wednesday and Gaz Coombes reading Ella May Does It Her Way by Mick Jackson on Thursday before Momoa takes over on Friday.
There will also be two special readings on 23rd December and on Christmas Day. On 23rd December, members of the Armed Forces will do a special reading of The Invisible String, while Justin Fletcher and Dodge The Dog join patients at Royal Manchester Children’s Hospital to read Julia Donaldson’s The Hospital Dog.
Momoa will next be seen in the salty superhero sequel Aquaman And The Lost Kingdom, which is heading to cinemas on 21st December – look out for our review of that in due course.
CBeebies Bedtime Stories airs at 6.50pm every day on CBeebies and on BBC iPlayer.
