Jason Momoa Shaves Beard forDune 3and Sparks Big Reaction
So, Jason Momoa — yes, the rugged Aquaman himself — has just done something fans never expected. He’s shaved off his iconic beard for the first time in six years! And honestly, it’s kind of a shock to see him without it.
In a video posted on his official Instagram, you can actually watch the moment he takes the razor to his face. And he doesn’t exactly sound thrilled about it. “God damn it, I hate it,” he mutters as the beard comes off. “Haven’t shaved in six years, and here we are again.” It's clear that even he’s still getting used to the transformation.

But there's a pretty solid reason for the drastic change — he’s getting ready for Dune: Part Three . For those who remember, he played Duncan Idaho, the loyal swordmaster of House Atreides, in the original Dune movie from 2021. He wasn’t in the second one, but now he’s officially returning for the third chapter, which is expected to hit cinemas in December next year. Apparently, being clean-shaven was part of the look for Duncan in the first film, so it’s being brought back to keep things consistent.
And get this — as he shaves, Momoa actually calls out the director by name. “This is the kick-off, Dune 3 . Only for you, Denis,” he says, referring to filmmaker Denis Villeneuve. So clearly, this wasn’t a casual decision — it was done for the role, for the film, and maybe just a bit for the fans, too.
But it’s not just about the movie. He’s also using this moment to bring attention to his eco-friendly water brand, Mananalu. The last time he shaved — back in 2019 — it was to launch this very company, which sells water in reusable aluminum bottles as a way to fight plastic waste. Now, six years later, he’s doing it again to reinforce that message. “The goal is to eliminate waste and cut down on all the emissions,” he explains in the video, pointing out how airports are now banning single-use plastics and how awareness is really starting to grow.
So yeah, the beard’s gone — for now — but it’s not just a fashion choice. It’s about commitment to a character, a movie, and a bigger mission. Whether fans are loving or mourning the look, one thing’s for sure: Jason Momoa knows how to make a clean shave count.
