Bidding farewell to the various bearded characters he has played, Momoa is shown trimming up with an electric razor while in a remote desert location. He also takes the time to show us some canned beverages which turn out to be water, because shaving in the desert is thirsty work. He delivers a salutary message about recycling and not using plastic bottles and voila, the beard is gone.

“I just want to do this to bring awareness that plastics are ruining our planet, and I think I have a solution,” he said. “I don’t want to bitch about it. There’s only one thing that can really help our planet and save our planet as long as we recycle, and that’s aluminum. It’s 100 percent recyclable.”

Amazing. Of course, it’s not the first time that facial hair has been used to promote good causes, both ‘No Shave November‘ and ‘Movember‘ encourage men to do the opposite of Momoa, and grow it out for awareness, in these cases men’s health.

“I’m shaving this beast off, it’s time to make a change,” Momoa continues. “A change for the better…for my kids, your kids, the world. Let’s make a positive change for the health of our planet.”

“Let’s clean up our oceans, our land. Join me on this journey. Let’s make the switch to infinitely recyclable aluminum.”

A nice message, but judging from the comments however, most of the focus was on the actor’s looks and how ‘distraught’ people are. What do you think? Are cans a better alternative to plastic bottles? Would you pay a few cents extra to reduce your plastic consumption in this way? How else can we go about ensuring less plastic ends up in our oceans? Let us know your opinion about plastic waste reduction in the comments!
Here’s what people had to say:

I'm gay. and I think he's hot with or without a beard.
I'm not gay and I think he is hot with and without the beard. Its the personality not the face. The man is an awesome guy!
A-FRICKIN-MEN!!!!!
Agreed. No doubt he is hands down yummy but, IMO it’s his absolute JOY for life & goofy sense of humor that makes him so beloved. Jason you are special & I’m so happy for your success! I’ve been a fan since in ‘Stargate Atlantis’...the early scene where you eat the mashed potatoes w your fingers still makes me cry w laughter 😂. Thanks for your infectious sense of JOY!
And a big old teddy bear who likes to make people laugh..... Lucky Lisa Bonet...
He does seem like a cool dude to hang with... no homo.

Same here
Far hotter without the beard.Suddenly his eyes are so more noticeable
I am a tomato and I think he should have died his beard red.
Will be interesting to see how BP reacts when his #metoo moment arrives .....

Sounds like you’re bi...
He could do anything....shave his whole head....grow out alllll his hair....let a 2 year old cut it....and he would still be the sexiest man alive! (in my eyes)
Yep.
That's where I have to draw the line. He cannot shave his head. EVER
I agree!!!!! He's beautiful!!!!
I like him more WITHOUT the beard. Beards...not my thing.
In the UK news recently there was an article about the germs in beards - being in close proximity to the mouth they have a lot more germs there than the hair anywhere else. Literally anywhere else. The reason for the study was an MRI machine was being used for dogs and people and some medicos were worried that patients would get something unpleasant from dogs... Apparently not. Dogs need to be worried they'd get something unpleasant from humans.
Some people do this crazy thing where they clean themselves.
I remember reading that faecal matter was found in beards too.
Exactly. I wouldn’t want to eat anything that was filtered through the hair on my head. And smells! Ick.
A lot of people don't want to put effort into beard maintenance, I assume that's where the high amount of germs comes into.
Ugh, same here. I wish they would go back out of style. Desperately.
Jason makes a beard look GOOOOOD!!!
Oh, Christ, it's a beard. It will grow back. But he's right. Recycle. It's not that hard.
Actually, it is. Some places in Australia have been recycling for decades but now can't because the industries that did it don't want to any more, and there's a lack of capability anywhere else. People want to, but the stuff ends in landfill anyway because it has nowhere else to go. Google: recycling crisis Australia
Plastic bottles can be carcinogenic too, if they're stored in direct sunlight. It actually says on the bottles not to do that, but my local supermarket still does. Numpties. I have a refillable bottle, and lots of places in the UK now have free water refilling stations. You heard the beardless man, go recycle!
Here in the U.S. The refill stations are showing up more and more. A refillable steel bottle even better than aluminum. None of the side effects that can go with recycling
He is even hotter without the beard ... ♥️
Heck yes!
Still wouldnt kick him out of my bed even if he was eating cookies!
Haha my mom says she "wouldn't kick him out of bed for eating crackers"! I wonder where the saying came from.
Anyone "devastated" about his lack of beard is not a true fan. He's gorgeous with our without...a beard... a mustache...clothes.....
Oh people, what's wrong with you all? Your planet is slowly dying and 9/10 comments just care about a famous person shaving his beard.
Don't care about the beard, care about the message.
The planet will still be dying tomorrow, whether I angsted over a beard today or not.
I prefer him without the beard
He's a handsome man but his message is strikingly beautiful. We have to save our planet and buying aluminum is a huge start! Thank you Jason for your thoughtful video, message and actions!
If anyone is actually "devastated" by this , get help lol
Its a beard. So what. It will grow back by the time that can has recycled twice. -- Recycle anyway.
He looks fab without the beard, so good
He looks better without it.
That's the handsome young man we knew in Iowa!
I love the reason why he did this. More states need to adopt the recycling plastic bottle like up north in Michigan does. Every bottle you purchase has it written on the label the payout amount. For each bottle you take back to the store (any store) they pay you for them. Him shaving his beard just brings national attention to the destruction of our Earth by our own actions. So kudos to him and he is still just as sexy if not sexier!
IKR!!! Sweet guy with a heart of gold!!!
All this for a commercial for water in aluminum cans? Because aluminum is recyclable? So is plastic. But people don’t recycle their plastic water bottles. People also don’t recycle their aluminum soda and beer cans. What makes him think they’re going to recycle water cans. You know what will help save the environment? Getting rid of bottled (or canned) water altogether and using filtered tap water and an aluminum canteen or water bottle. I’ve been using my Kleen Kanteen for about 8 years. It was $30 when I bought it. I thought that was expensive, but it’s saved me a lot of money over the years. It’s also saved a lot of landfill space and energy used for recycling. That was a great investment in lowering my carbon footprint. BTW: Jason Momoa looks hot without a beard, too.
That’s why I use my BPA FREE Tupperware water bottle. I doesn’t allow the growth of bacteria inside of it and I drink a lot of water at work & at home. I WILL NEVER BUY BOTTLED WATER!!!
Who cares? I certainly don't
Love is unconditional! 🥰
Thank you for the awesome Message Jason Momoa! I couldn't agree with you more, we are killing the planet and our beautiful oceans! Thank you for your awareness :) And you are gorgeous with or without the beard!
One of the points he made several times in the video is that a recycled can will be back as a new can in six weeks. Look for him to prove that point by regrowing that gorgeous beard. And, of course we ALL should be willing to switch from water in plastic bottles that are destroying our earth.
I think people need to pay more attention to what he is saying verses what he did! He has an extremely valid point! Besides Jason Manoa is HOT period with or without a beard!
Dude looks good either way.
What a great person he is. If everyone cared enough about the earth they would be picking up after themselves, and not expect someone else to do it. Thank you Jason for keeping the earth in mind. You look great with or without your facial hair. Your wife and kids are so lucky to have you as a husband and a father.
These people who are so distraught about Jason shaving his beard. You need to get over that. The beard will grow back in time.. Lets focus on what his intentions were and that is getting rid of disposal plastic! Way to ho #JasonMomoa
Completely off topic but did you see his shorts?
Yes they are awesome, but they look like old timey prison colors. LOL
Um... he did it for a movie. Planet health is a bonus.
Does Momoa shited today? Please, I need to know!
looks even better!
I am a fan of beards, still like him best without it. Gawsh, he is beautiful!
He's just fine either way.
Good for you Jason!! Raising awareness is not easy these days. People are so hard headed!! Wake up everyone!! You want a home for the future generations...we have to think about the big picture...not just straws!!
SO much better!! He look so much younger too!
Oh man, y'all need to freaking grow up! If you're that bent out of shape over something trivial like him shaving his beard, you were never a fan to begin with, and you need to go get your head examined!
You re amazing and beautifull and without beard. I love your eyes and brows.
He looks infinitely hotter without the facial hair. Don’t really see how this promotes recycling but hey, anything to see that gorgeous face, right.
omg, he is actually gorgeous under all that shit
You know hair is not renewable, right?
He looks HOT without the beard! But then, he looks HOT with the beard, too!
That's great and all but not everyone recycles . China stopped taking out recycling. The best way is to just fill up with reusable bottles at water fountains, soda dispensers or water dispensers at the grocery stores . .25a gallon.
This man is gorgeous no matter what package he comes in!
this man is so good looking it matters little how he changes his appearance..just be happy u can even look at this stunning example of a MAN...REAL man to bad there aren't enough go around. He also has the gift of being a great father, a great hubby I am sure of that and a good all round citizen on this planet...lovely to look at and personality of a caring human.
Now he looks like a person
He's SEXY either way!
Yeah, I know how they feel. My girlfriend shaved her beard and I was devastated.
I think he looks great no matter what!!!! His personality makes him sexy as hell the looks are just a bonus!
He's still good-looking. IDK what the big deal is and I hope his message isn't lost in all of this.
HE IS EVEN MORE GORGEOUS (IF THAT’S POSSIBLE) WITHOUT THE BEARD. EITHER WAY I LOVE HIM!!!!!!! GIVES ME GOOSEBUMPS!!!!!
Jason Momoa Shaves His Beard. WOOOOOOOWWW, WHAT A NEWS!!!!! Now he is only less similar to monkey.
Absolute opposite when Austin Evans shaved his.
omg he looks like steven segal. ewwww.
I am a fan of beards, lover of them... But this is a man that can pull off either and still look insanely beautiful.
Jason can do whatever he wants with his body...he is a total love bug!
Jason Mamoa looks fine, with beard and without! He can always grow another one.
Planet shaved thanks to this action... Shame
Ok so I saw this ADd thInG look at the add QWQ Screenshot...e7-png.jpg
Bullshit! Jason is perfect in any condition! With beard or without... :)
Jason rocks no matter what. At least it's fresh and free for spring and summer!
I think he is gorgeous without the beard. Wow!!
big aquaman fan
Jason Momoa should be in jail for shaving his beard. Sigh...
I still like him and like his idea of focusing on Nature and Our Planet :-)
This comment has been deleted.
WAY better without the beard! Why cover that face? Facial hair is only good for ugly men.
I think he's totally gorgeous and love the no beard
He's still attractive. But how is using a plastic-and-metal shaver, plus batteries/electricity, "saving the planet"? My husband has always worn a full beard and moustache, plus long hair, thus using NOTHING but soap and water on his face (and a little beard oil). HE'S the one "saving the planet," not face-scrapers!
I mean... who isn’t devastated?
But I like being able to see his face. I'm lesbian, and think he looks hot without the beard.
He looks devastated
just out of curiosity.... isnt the plastic bottle fully recyclable as well? Dough wit aluminium cans we dont get the micro-plastic problem. Still if people would put them in the recyce bins and didnt throw them out this should work both for plastic and cans... but if both are thrown away without any consideration what happens to it afterwards its just trash.
Weird how people get emotional over facial hair. I love both looks.
Damn these actors stepping out of character and destroying my daydreams. They need to stop talking. I have the hots for your characters and then I see something like this and Poof there goes my daydream. I felt as bereft as when Thor had an opinion on the Late Show and My little daydream bubbles burst at his bogan twang. (Bogan Born also) But on serious note, thanks Jason Momoa for the information. I will look at Aluminium from the mining and producing to see how it is done.
He is even more delicious looking without all the fuzz and mid I can see just his good looking guns local honey is!!! Mmmm’ good!!!!😍😍😍😍
He's still hot. And guess what?! Hair grows back!
Still looks good :)
but still... RECYCLE. THATS MY WE HAVE THAT MOTHERFUCKING WORD GET A GOD DAMN BIN AND RECYCLE
u made my heart break download-4...b6df0.jpeg
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!! WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYY.😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
I'm sorry, but I can't agree. Though, yes, it's better to use recycable materials, a lot of this stuff will still end up in nature. Plastic can take up to 20 (for thicker kinds up to 50) years to break down. Aluminium however can take between 80 to 1000000 years to break down. We need alternatives to both, not replace one by the other.
He is the total package. Good man, great hubby, better father and fabulous looks. Shaving just takes a smidge of his machismo from the outer shell of this man. It has no affect on his overall fabulosity.
oh look how white he is where the beard was supposed to be 😯
Omg... I loved his beard... it made him look more ... dangerous? I loved the way he looked with it. It made him cooler and hotter... but still he looks good. Just different...
Gorgeous man, gorgeous message.
What was the question?? 😍😍😍😍😍😍
Gorgeous either way but he looks AMAZING without it (and I almost ALWAYS prefer facial hair!!!)
He´s much better looking now! _< He looks gorgeous now :P
He still looks good!
He still looks good!!
He's hot now
At least he's still hot!! :)
do these people know beards grow back?
He is so good looking either way..
Looks like they went armed out to the middle of nowhere to commit murder... of beards
He is a gorgeous guy with or with our the beard. His personality is fantastic!
Why, oh, why did you shave off your awesome facial beauty?
I think he looks better without it. With the beard I didn't understand what all the fuss was about him. Now that I can see his face I see the reason people are swooning!
So what? he shaved... still looks great.
I think WHO CARES!!! People. Get your own life!
Good Bye Ronnon DEX
He's still adorable. And I think he looks younger. Definitely wouldn't kick him out of bed for eating crackers.
He looks so young w/o the beard! (still a hottie, tho'!)
It's a beard, people. It grows back.
he's so hot he could not look "not good" (ugly is not allowed ) if he tried his best
OMG What a gorgeous face! Why hide it under all that hair? Glad it's gone
OMG What a gorgeous face!!! Why hide it under all that hair? Glad it's gone.
It does much more for me with the beard gone. ..
He is still absolutely gorgeous!!!
If he had had a nice coiffed beard it would've been a loss but his was a shaggy mess. He looks sooo much better without it!
I'm also not a fan of beards, but some people suit them and some don't. Jason Momoa does. Having said that, it's just a beard, he can grow it back if he wants, I love that he's done something so 'dramatic' to raise awareness (it may even work). Without the beard, I'm seeing a bit of an Antonio Banderas look about him, so that's not so bad!
