Jason Momoa has shaved off his beard for the first time in six years as he prepares to reprise his role in the upcoming Dune 3. The actor shared a video on Instagram showing him shaving his face, marking a significant change in appearance and promoting his reusable aluminum water bottle brand, Mananalu.
Memories and New Beginnings Linked to His Look Change
Momoa previously last shaved for the first Dune movie, which was filmed six years ago. As he shaved, he reflected on that time and the launch of Mananalu, a brand aiming to reduce plastic waste. He explained that he and his team were pioneers in aluminum bottle production and now want to shift the focus of their product toward a broader environmental mission.
God damn it, I hate it,
Momoa said about his clean shaven face.
What was really special about that is when I started launching Mananalu,
he remarked, highlighting the importance of the brand’s foundation during that period.
The goal is just to eliminate waste and cut down on all the emissions,
Momoa continued.
So imagine when you’re in Hawaii and you go to all those hotels — and my goal — is to stop bringing over single-use plastics. Stop it, we don’t need it.
Environmental Causes and the Connection to His Role
While Momoa sat out of Dune: Part Two, he is set to rejoin the franchise in Dune 3. The shaving video not only served as a promotional moment for Mananalu, but also as a symbolic kickoff aligning with the movie’s return. Powered by Boomerang, the Mananalu brand emphasizes environmental change and sustainability.
This is to kick off Dune 3,
Momoa said during the shave,
and I want to tell you guys and inform people that Mananalu, powered by Boomberang, is out there trying to make change.
Reactions From Fans and Associates
As Momoa revealed his clean shaven face, fans responded warmly, praising his new look and supporting his environmental advocacy. His girlfriend, actress Adria Arjona, known for Andor, also showed affection in the comments by simply posting heart emojis.
Momentarily glancing at his half-shaved face, Momoa playfully addressed the film’s director, Denis Villeneuve, saying, Ah only for you Denis. This highlights the connection between his appearance and his role in the much-anticipated film.
