STOP THE PRESS! Someone had a shave. In news that is sure to send shockwaves around the world, it appears that Jason Momoa has lost his beard. The dramatic footage of the event was uploaded onto YouTube, where people predictably lost it.

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 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!
Load More Replies...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)
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.
Load More Replies...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
Load More Replies...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
Load More Replies...Haha my mom says she "wouldn't kick him out of bed for eating crackers"! I wonder where the saying came from.
Load More Replies...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.
Load More Replies...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!
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!!!
Load More Replies...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!
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
Yes they are awesome, but they look like old timey prison colors. LOL
Load More Replies...I am a fan of beards, still like him best without it. Gawsh, he is beautiful!
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!!
You re amazing and beautifull and without beard. I love your eyes and brows.
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 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.
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 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.
Ok so I saw this ADd thInG look at the add QWQ Screenshot...e7-png.jpg
B******t! 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 still like him and like his idea of focusing on Nature and Our Planet :-)
WAY better without the beard! Why cover that face? Facial hair is only good for ugly men.
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!
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!!!!😍😍😍😍
but still... RECYCLE. THATS MY WE HAVE THAT M***********G WORD GET A GOD DAMN BIN AND RECYCLE
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.
Gorgeous either way but he looks AMAZING without it (and I almost ALWAYS prefer facial hair!!!)
Load More Replies...Looks like they went armed out to the middle of nowhere to commit murder... of beards
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!
He's still adorable. And I think he looks younger. Definitely wouldn't kick him out of bed for eating crackers.
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.
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!
He is such a handsome man, that he still looks good without the beard. Just more of his face to savor. I'm liking it.
He is such a handsome man that he still looks great without a beard. Just more of his face to savor....I'm enjoying it.
I love him regardless - but I love the bare face look! It suits him. As long as he is happy and Lisa now has more face to kiss ♥
Big Jay shaved off his beard... Okay. Good for him. Beards are hard to look after anyhow...
He is too gorgeous to cover it up with a scraggly beard like that. I ADORE the beardless version.
Too much chin. GASP - I criticised his looks!
Load More Replies...Jason, So proud of you! My son admires you (me too). My son is an Eco-Artist, living with autism, but that's not his gift. His gift is recycling materials and creating award-winning art. We just gave a presentation this week and "Aquaman saving the planet" was part of his speech. Love to share your message in our videos.....we talk to thousands of people a year. If you have time, please visit our website: www.JigsawGrant.com Love to support the great cause. Where can we purchase ""whoop a*s water!!"
Any man without a beard is 1000 times better looking. No tears for beards! And I would love if people actually listened to the message instead of making it all to a joke..
Jesus, you people are pathetic. Worried about some guy's facial hair. No other issues around the planet? Besides, about time he got rid of that dead possum on his face. Islanders are not good at beards.
How does shaving a beard help the planet? But anyway.... Jason is hot AF with or without the beard, I still love him!
I shave off my beard every summer. It grows back people! It always grows back.
