Actor Jason Momoa has unveiled a fresh, clean-shaven look after maintaining a beard for six years. The change comes as Momoa prepares for his role in the upcoming film Dune 3, marking a significant transformation from his usual rugged style.
Momoa Shares His Shaving Experience and Environmental Initiative
Momoa posted a video on Instagram showing himself shaving off his iconic beard for the first time in years, candidly admitting, “Goddamn it, I hate it.” He explained that this appearance is for his role in Dune 3. Alongside sharing this personal update, Momoa also highlighted his commitment to environmental sustainability through his water company, Mananalu, which uses aluminum bottles to reduce plastic waste.
In the caption, he wrote,
Haven’t shaved in six years, and here we are again. I launched @mananalu to help eliminate single-use plastic. Now, we’re taking it even further, partnering with our team at @Getboomerangwater to bring in a closed-loop system that sanitizes and bottles water onsite. That means even less waste, reduced shipping footprint, and our aluminum bottles get reused over and over. This is the future, and we’re starting in Hawai’i. Let’s get rid of single-use plastic. For our children and for our planet. All my aloha, j
Insights on Working Alongside His Son in the Film Industry
Momoa recently spoke with Extra about collaborating on Dune 3 with his son, Nakoa-Wolf. He shared a humorous yet proud perspective on his son pursuing acting, saying,
He’s in for a rude awakening, is what he’s in for. He’s into the workforce for the first time. It’s going to be good. He did it on his own. I don’t want to help him, and he’s done it all on his own, and good for him.
He further praised Nakoa-Wolf’s confidence and talent, stating,
You want your children to be better than you, and I really, actually believe he is. I couldn’t do what he’s doing at his age. There’s no way I could sit in a room with [‘Dune 3’ director] Denis Villeneuve and hold my own. I was on ‘Baywatch’ at 19. He’s 16 and holding sh*t down with Denis Villeneuve.
Family, Confidence, and the Legacy Jason Momoa Values Most
Momoa shares his children Nakoa-Wolf and Lola Iolani with ex-wife Lisa Bonet. Reflecting on their upbringing, he conveyed, “We raised him beautiful,” and added,
We raised our children… It’s just, you know, being loved and being confident in themselves… That is what he is. He’s very confident.
This blend of pride in his family, dedication to environmentally responsible business, and commitment to his craft underscores the multiple facets of Momoa’s life as he transitions into one of his most anticipated roles.
