Image: Instagram
Fans were never ready for actor Jason Momoa's beardless face. Best known for his role as Aquaman, the actor has surprised fans by ditching his signature beard.
The actor has been rocking the rugged beard look for years, and it's been a fan favourite. However, he bid farewell to his iconic beard in a surprise video on Instagram, revealing a clean-shaven face.
The clip shows him shaving off his long beard with an electric shaver. Catching a glimpse of his bare face, he jokingly exclaimed, 'God dammit, I hate it!'
He also took a moment to reflect on his journey with his sustainable water company, 'Mananalu'.
'Haven't shaved in six years, and here we are again. 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 sanitises and bottles water onsite. That means even less waste, reduced shipping footprint, and our aluminium bottles get reused over and over,' he explained.

'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,' Momoa concluded.
The actor's new look is in preparation for the forthcoming production of 'Dune: Part Three', in which he will reprise his role as Duncan Idaho, a character he had previously portrayed in the 2024 film.
Idaho is the sword master and mentor to Paul Atreides, played by Timothée Chalamet, in 'Dune'.
'Dune: Part Three' will feature returning cast members Zendaya and Florence Pugh, as well as newcomers Nakoa-Wolf Momoa, the teenage son of the film's star and Lisa Bonet.
Momoa's new look has left fans and followers stunned, with many taking to social media to comment on the drastic transformation.

Jada McGowan's 'Generations: The Legacy' debut: critics say 'action' but she delivers 'meh'
South African actress, Jada McGowan recently faced backlash after making her TV debut on Mzansi's popular soapie 'Generations: The Legacy'.

In the video, McGowan appears to be shocked after seeing that her R17 000 camera has suddenly disappeared after she put it on a shelf. The young actress, however, failed to convince netizens with her acting skills, and many have mocked her online. @ wrote: 'Ke acting nthwe? (Is this acting?)' 'Mind you, this is my first impression of Generations this year,' @corry said. While @prettykhanyi_ added: 'Aowa (No) this can't be acting.' McGowan, however, isn't fazed by the online criticism after she shared a video on TikTok as she celebrated her TV debut with her loved ones. She captioned her post: 'From prayer to screen - my debut on 'Generations The Legacy'. All glory to God for opening this door for me. I'm just getting started!' In the comment section, McGowan replied to several online users who asked her multiple questions about what people are saying and how she got the role. One user asked her if she saw the comments on the official TikTok account of the soapie in which the actress replied: 'Yes chomi, I did, but I'm not bothered.' Another user commented that they wish her all the best and that she should not listen to the internet trolls. McGowan replied: 'Thank you so much. I really do appreciate it. I promise I could never fold, I'm way too strong for the trolls.' This is not the first time that 'Generations: The Legacy' faced backlash for its actors, with fans claiming that some of them cannot act.
