Many fans of Jason Momoa have been left in disbelief after seeing the Aquaman star shave off his beard for the first time in six years.
The 45-year-old has become known over the years for his signature beard, but taking to Instagram recently, the actor revealed that was no more.
On Wednesday (July 30), Momoa shared a video of himself shaving his iconic beard for the first time in over half a decade in an important message about single-use plastic.
"Haven’t shaved in six years, and here we are again," the actor wrote in the caption.

The Dune star then explained: "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 Hawaii. Let’s get rid of single-use plastic. For our children and for our planet. All my aloha, J."
In the video, Momoa said: "Only for you, Denis," as he referred to Dune filmmaker Denis Villeneuve.
"Goddamnit! I hate it," the actor then said about his new look.
Momoa's grooming regime has seemingly left many fans speechless online, with one person penning on Twitter: "Babe wake up Jason Mamoa has a bald face," while a second added: "Jason Mamoa looks completely different!!"
Nakoa-Wolf, Momoa's son, is playing the role of Timothee Chalamet and Zendaya's on-screen child in the third Dune movie, which is set to hit screens in December 2026.
Momoa, who is also returning for the third Dune instalment as Duncan Idaho, has dismissed any speculation he helped his son get the acting role, insisting his teenage son did it on his own accord.
Speaking to Extra recently, Momoa joked: "He's in for a rude awakening is what he's in for. He’s into the workforce for the first time."
And addressing those nepo baby claims, the Hollywood actor added: "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.
"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 s*** down with Denis Villeneuve."
The movie is set to release in 2026, so we'll see how much screen time Momoa and his son have together.
