Momoa Shaves Beard, Launches Water Partnership

Jason Momoa shaved off his signature beard for the first time in six years to prepare for his return as Duncan Idaho in Denis Villeneuve's Dune: Part Three. He documented the transformation on Instagram, expressing his dislike for the clean-shaven look. Alongside the shave, Momoa promoted his sustainable water brand Mananalu and announced a new partnership with Boomerang Water to fight single-use plastics. The move sparked intense reactions online, with many fans lamenting the loss of his beard, which has been central to his image in roles like Aquaman and Game of Thrones. Momoa's beardless appearance also echoes his earlier role in 2011's Conan the Barbarian. Despite mixed reactions, he emphasized the positive environmental message behind the change.
