It’s very challenging when you have babies and you’re completely in debt.” The situation improved for him after he was cast as Arthur Curry/Aquaman in 2016’s Justice League. He reprised his role two years later in the solo Aquaman movie, which broke the record for the highest grossing DC film of all time.
