Jason Momoa shaves his beard after six years on his return as Duncan Idaho for Denis Villeneuve's Dune 3: ‘I hate it'
Hollywood star Jason Momoa has shaved his beard for the first time in six years — and it's all for Dune: Part Three. The actor is officially stepping back into Duncan Idaho mode as filming for the upcoming sequel gets underway. Jason Momoa shaved his beard after 6 years 'Only for you, Denis,' Jason said in a new video, addressing Dune director Denis Villeneuve. After taking the clippers to his beard, he looked at his half-shaved face and laughed, 'God damnit, I hate it!' The 45-year-old last shaved for the first Dune movie, in which his character Duncan Idaho sacrifices himself so Paul and Jessica can escape the Sardaukar. While he didn't appear in Dune: Part Two, the actor had already confirmed his return for the third installment. In Frank Herbert's books, Duncan comes back as a clone, though it's unclear if Denis will follow that path. The upcoming film also features returning cast members Timothée Chalamet, Zendaya, and Florence Pugh, along with newcomers like Ida Brooke and Jason's son, Nakoa-Wolf, who will play Leto II. 'A rude awakening is what he's in for,' he had told Extra about his son's casting, earlier this month. 'He's into the workforce for the first time. It's going to be good. He did it on his own. 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 Denis Villeneuve and hold my own. I was on Baywatch at 19. He's 16 and holding shit down with Denis Villeneuve,' he added. But the beard shave wasn't just about getting into character. It also marked what Jason called 'the kickoff' for his sustainability mission. 'I want to, like, tell you guys and inform people that Mananalu, powered by Boomerang, is out there trying to make change,' he said in the video, referencing his water company. 'Haven't shaved in six years, and here we are again,' he wrote in the caption of the video. After glancing at his bare face mid-shave, he burst into laughter. 'Oh man,' he chuckled before doubling over. The clip received plenty of positive reactions, including a few heart emojis from his girlfriend Adria Arjona.

Jason Momoa's shocking beard shave stuns fans ahead of Dune 3
Jason Momoa has officially ditched his iconic beard for the first time in six years—and fans are stunned by his transformation. The Aquaman actor shaved off his facial hair for his return as Duncan Idaho in Dune: Part Three. Sharing the moment on Instagram, Momoa buzzed away his signature scruff on July 30, joking, 'Goddammit, I hate it.' He called the drastic change a 'kickoff' to the next chapter of his career and added a special shoutout to director Denis Villeneuve: 'Only for you.' Momoa, 45, sat out Dune: Part Two in 2024 but will now reprise his role in the sci-fi franchise. He won't be the only Momoa on set either—his 16-year-old son, Nakoa-Wolf, has officially joined the cast as Leto II, the son of Paul Atreides (played by Timothée Chalamet) and Chani (Zendaya). Speaking to Extra, Jason shared how proud he is of his son's first professional acting job: 'A rude awakening is what he's in for… He's into the workforce for the first time. It's going to be good.' The Game of Thrones alum reflected on Nakoa-Wolf's independence, saying, 'You want your children to be better than you, and I believe he is.' Momoa is also dad to 18-year-old Lola and says spending time with his kids remains his top priority, even as they grow older and busier.

There's nothing like sweet treats to get you reminiscing about your childhood, and this classic dessert is being dubbed the 'best Irish dessert.' Pic: Reddit One Reddit user shared a picture of two ice-cream sandwiches to the r/AskIreland reddit board, wondering: 'Best Irish dessert?' They added: 'These were the highlight of my youth. Down the local shop you'd get one of these and two loose John Player Blue for 20pm. Any memories of the simple life from you all?' Fellow Reddit users flocked to the comments full of nostalgia for the good old days. Social media users have been getting nostalgic over the classic dessert — making us here at Extra wanting to run to our nearest shop to pick up a block of ice-cream and packet of wafers. Pic: Getty Images One said: 'A wafer was the best everyday dessert. For special occasions, e.g. milestone birthdays, graduations, appointment to the Cabinet table etc, mammy might splash out the big bucks and get a Romantica.' Another responded: 'Or Vienetta. Decadence.' A third commented: 'You always thought you had them cut perfectly straight only to stick it between two wafers and see that bloody slant every time.' While, we would argue vanilla is the classic, others in the comments offered other options.

'It had to be raspberry ripple icecream,' one shared, while another noted: 'If the ice-cream was Neopolitan then we'd be talking.' 'This, but banana ice-cream,' another put forward. Earlier in the month, Irish people got nostalgic once again as a staple drink reappeared in a Limerick shop. 'Craft' soda Jones Soda was made with cane sugar and came in differing flavours ranging from green apple to bubblegum. Despite sales of the soda falling off a cliff in the past decade, sometimes you can find yourself lucky enough to find a bottle; and if you're in Limerick, you're in luck, as it has reappeared in Candy Castle, a shop in the Treaty County.
