Oops, he did it again. Jason Momoa has shaved off his iconic facial hair, much to the dismay of fans, and maybe himself.

It’s not the first time he’s stunned the public with his lack of a beard . But every time he does it, it’s still surprising and causes lots of chatter.

The impetus this time was the same as last: Momoa is preparing for his role in Dune: Part Three . He’s also promoting his closed-loop water and bottling system .

  • Jason Momoa, known for his long locks and flowing beard, has taken a pair of clippers to his face to remove his facial hair for the first time in six years.
  • Momoa says he shaved for one of the new movies he’s in, ‘Dune: Part Three,’ and to bring attention to his closed-loop bottled water company.
  • Momoa opened up about reprising his role for the franchise and how it feels to have his son on set.

In a recently posted social media video, we see 45-year-old Momoa standing near a tree with an electric razor.

The video starts with the reveal. Momoa strokes his freshly shorn face and says, “Goddamnit, I hate it.”

The video then shows images of Momoa’s water bottling company, Mananalu.

“I think it’s been about six years, maybe a little more, since I did Dune, and what was really special about that, is that’s when I started launching Mananalu,” he said , referring to the water company that he runs.

“At the time, we were one of the first to release the aluminum bottle,” he continued, explaining how now, six years later, his company is thriving.

Momoa explained how his company can now operate in a closed-loop system

He explained that Mananalu will now be partnering with a company called Boomerang, which created a device to clean and sterilize the aluminum bottles for reuse.

“And the goal now, as we partner with Boomerang, is that we have a closed-loop system. The goal is to eliminate waste, and cut down on all the emissions,” Momoa said while talking about bringing an end to single-use plastics.

The video continues with Momoa talking about the release of Dune: Part Three , in which he reprises his role of Duncan Idaho.

“This is the kick off. Dune: Part Three. And I want to tell you guys, and inform people that Mananalu, powered by Boomerang, is out there and trying to make change. Ahhhh, only for you Dennis,” he cooed, referring to the name of the film’s director, Dennis Villeneuve.

Then he stops to look at his face. By this point, he’s shaved off half his goatee. He looks at the camera with a big smile and laughs.

It’s not the first, second, or even third time he’s been clean-shaven

It’s not the first time Momoa ’s freshly shorn face has made headlines. Or even the second. In 2019, the actor famously shaved his beard, again, to promote his non-plastic water bottling company.

In a video he posted at the time, we see the then-39-year-old walking through a litter-strewn terrain.

“I’m SHAVING this beast off, It’s time to make a change. A change for the better…for my kids, your kids, the world. Let’s make a positive change for the health of our planet,” he wrote in the caption.

“Let’s make the switch to INFINITELY RECYCLABLE aluminum. Water in cans, not plastic,” the video’s caption read.

At the time, after having gained fame for his roles in Game of Thrones and Aquaman , the public was stunned to see him without his famous bearded look.
