Jason Momoa's Wild Move At Ozzy Osbourne Show Was 'Not On Our 2025 Bingo Card'
's long-awaited "Back To The Beginning" concert was already destined to be one for the books, a historic final performance by Black Sabbath with their legendary frontman, but no one expected to steal the show in the most rock 'n' roll way possible. Held at Villa Park in Birmingham, England, the star-studded event marked the first time in 20 years that the original Black Sabbath lineup reunited on stage. With over 40,000 fans packed into the stadium, including the one and only Jason Momoa, the night roared to life with headbanging classics like 'War Pigs,' 'Iron Man,' and 'Paranoid.' Jason Momoa Sparks Fan Mayhem At Ozzy Osbourne's Final Show 'It's so good to be on this f-cking stage, you have no idea,' Ozzy declared as he dramatically rose from under the stage on a winged throne. 'Let the madness begin!' And madness did begin, especially once Momoa, serving as the event's master of ceremonies, went full metalhead during the festivities. In a moment that has since gone viral, the "Aquaman" and "Game of Thrones" star shocked fans by leaving the VIP section, climbing over the barricade, and diving headfirst into the crowd during Pantera's performance of 'Cowboys From Hell.' Not content to just blend in, Momoa ignited a circle pit, thrashing alongside fans and sparking chaos (the good kind) that only added to the energy of the night. Fans Lose It Over Momoa's Metal Mayhem Social media exploded with footage of the actor's wild move, with fans praising his authenticity and fearless energy. 'Moshing with Jason Momoa was not on my bingo card!' one user exclaimed. Another wrote, 'He is the coolest dude on the planet. Name one other celebrity as big as him who would do this... No one. Helps that he is a monster lol.' 'Looks like he single-handedly started the pit. There wasn't much movement before he arrived,' a fan observed, while another joked, 'Meanwhile, his bodyguard is regretting life's choices. Lol.' The comments kept rolling in, with praise like 'Legend,' 'Dope AF,' and 'Jason Momoa is the man. Goes straight to the pit to get busy at the Pantera show. Let's go!! Love this dude.' Jason Momoa Joins The Rock Legends While Momoa brought major energy, the celebration also boasted jaw-dropping performances from rock legends like , of , Guns N' Roses, Slayer, and Ronnie Wood of the . But it was the original Black Sabbath lineup and Osbourne's triumphant return that gave fans chills. After a strobing montage of his decades-spanning career, Osbourne took the stage with raw energy and visible emotion, asking the crowd, 'Have you had a good day today?' before launching into the chilling organ intro of 'Mr. Crowley.' The show reached an emotional peak with 'Mama I'm Coming Home,' during which the metal icon appeared visibly moved, his voice trembling as he stood on the stage where it all began more than 50 years ago. Ozzy Osbourne Bids Final Farewell The 76-year-old metal icon has battled through years of health challenges, including multiple spinal surgeries and a Parkinson's disease diagnosis. On his SiriusXM radio show earlier this year, Osbourne reflected on his journey, saying, 'I can't walk, but you know what I was thinking over the holidays? For all my complaining, I'm still alive.' In confirming that this would truly be his final live performance, Osbourne told The Guardian, 'I'd love to say 'never say never', but after the last six years or so … it is time. I don't want to die in a hotel room somewhere. I want to spend the rest of my life with my family.' Metal Icons Honor Black Sabbath In Emotional, Full-Circle Tribute At Ozzy's Final Show It wasn't just Ozzy who was feeling it. The entire lineup of heavy metal royalty, including Mastodon, Anthrax, and Lamb of God, honored Black Sabbath's legacy. Lamb of God brought an early standout moment with a fiery cover of 'Children of the Grave' that stirred a massive circle pit on the pitch. As the sun set, Guns N' Roses kept the momentum high with a cover of 'Sabbath Bloody Sabbath,' seamlessly launching into their own 'Welcome to the Jungle.' But the night's most heartfelt tribute came from Metallica's James Hetfield, who looked out across the massive crowd and said, 'Without Sabbath, there would be no Metallica. Thank you boys for giving us a purpose in life.' Moments like that made the sold-out bash feel like more than just a concert. It was a full-circle celebration of metal's roots, legacy, and future. And Jason Momoa's spontaneous pit dive may not have been on the schedule, but it became one of the most talked-about moments of the night. Solve the daily Crossword

Jason Momoa's Dramatic New Look Causes Fans to Revolt: 'Like Watching an Angel Lose Their Wings'
Jason Momoa isn't making his fans pleased with his latest makeover. The "Aquaman" actor, known for his hunky stature, luscious long hair, and full facial hair, is often hailed as one of the sexiest Hollywood stars. However, a significant change to Momoa's look for the first time in years has fans backtracking on their usual praises. Jason Momoa Shaves Off Beards In Unbelievable Clip On Wednesday, Momoa shocked the internet with a new beardless look. The actor was caught on camera shaving his beard while trying to raise awareness about single-use plastic. The Instagram video began with a recording of Momoa using an electric clipper to get rid of all of his facial hair. Upon looking at the final result in the mirror, he declared, "God damnit, I hate it!" Despite his dislike for his new look, Momoa used the makeover to promote his sustainable water company, Mananalu. He reflected on the company's six-year journey, highlighting that they were "one of the first to ever release the aluminum bottle." Momoa's brand has since come far, but hasn't relented in its goal of stopping the use of single-use plastic. "We don't need it," he declared. Hence, they are partnering with Boomerang Water to release a new sustainable product. In the accompanying caption, the actor revealed it was his first time shaving in years. "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," it read. Fans Troll The 'Dune' Actor For His Beardless Look Despite Momoa's dramatic makeover being for a good cause, fans are far from impressed and didn't hold their tongues. "Not to be dramatic, but this is like watching an angel lose their wings," one disappointed fan slammed on X. "A beard might just be the male version of makeup," another harsh comment read. A third fan observed, "I felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of women suddenly cried out in terror and were no longer thirsty." This user penned, "Can't believe he actually shaved. Feels like a new era." Describing Momoa's new look, this fan wrote, "He doesn't look bad, he just doesn't look right." Jason Momoa Shaves To Make A Change Knowing the effect his beard has on his fanbase, Momoa only shaves for the good of the environment. True to the "Baywatch" alum's words, the first time he removed his facial hair was in 2019 when he first launched his company. Fans may recall that Momoa documented the move in a YouTube video where he bid farewell to his famous bearded characters. "Goodbye DROGO, AQUAMAN, DECLAN, BABA! I'm shaving this beast off; it's time to make a change. A change for the my kids, for your kids, the world," he wrote in the description. The 45-year-old was proud of his lack of facial hair then, describing his look as "pretty good!" The 'Aquaman' Actor Also Chopped Off His Hair Momoa's facial hair isn't the only thing he sacrifices to raise awareness about the things dear to him, the environment and Hawaii. In 2022, The Blast reported that the DC Comics actor shaved off his head to debut a sentimental tattoo that honors his ancestral home. Momoa flaunted the buzzcut on social media, featuring a traditional Hawaiian tattoo inked on the left side. He documented how he got the unique inking done, surrounded by his other Hawaiian relatives and brothers dressed in their native attire. Momoa, who described the move as a new beginning, declared that he was "honored to be part of this powerful moment in my life." A Look At Jason Momoa's Wild Move At Ozzy Osbourne's Final Concert Momoa's unveiled beardless look comes weeks after he made headlines for stealing the show at the late Ozzy Osbourne's final concert. During the historic concert held at Villa Park in Birmingham, England, Momoa, who served as the master of ceremonies, cemented his status as a certified "metalhead." In a viral moment that took fans by storm, the "Game of Thrones" star ditched his cushy VIP section, jumping over the barricade to do a mosh pit with fans. The chaotic but utterly pleasant moment had fans gushing on social media. "Moshing with Jason Momoa was not on my bingo card!" a thrilled fan exclaimed. "He is the coolest dude on the planet. Name one other celebrity as big as him who would do this... No one. Helps that he is a monster, lol," another added. Solve the daily Crossword

Jason Momoa reveals shocking transformation ahead of 'Dune: Part Three'
"Dune: Part Three" is already starting production ahead of its current Dec. 18, 2026, release date, and one of its stars, Jason Momoa, just made a shocking transformation to get ready for filming. Momoa was one of the biggest names in the first "Dune" movie (now titled "Dune: Part One"), but his character, sword-master Duncan Idaho, seemingly died off-screen, and he was therefore absent for the sequel, "Dune: Part Two." But Momoa returns as Idaho for "Dune 3" and to get ready for the part, he has to look the part. And that meant shaving off his iconic facial hair on Instagram for everyone to see. A post shared by Jason Momoa (@prideofgypsies) A photo posted by on HBO Max gives you tons of hit shows and movies, from HBO Originals to A24 movies and more. Based on his Instagram video, he hasn't shaved in "about six years," meaning he's been rocking a beard ever since filming wrapped on the first "Dune" movie. Here's a clip of the last time Momoa went clean-shaven, cutting down the Emperor's Sardaukar soldiers like he's cutting down a 6-year-old beard. Now, while Momoa went public with his new look, he still wasn't entirely thrilled about it. "Only for you, Denis," he said, referring to the movie's director, Denis Villeneuve, as he started to shave. "Goddammit, I hate it!" was his initial response once he was freshly shaved. Still, it's tough to complain too much when you're starring in a major sci-fi franchise and promoting your eco-friendly line of water bottles. It's especially going to be tough for him to be mad about the new look since this time around, Momoa will be filming with his son, Nakoa-Wolf Momoa, who has joined the "Dune: Part Three" cast as Leto II Atreides, the son of Paul (Timothée Chalamet), and twin brother of Ghanima (Ida Brooke).

Viral: Jason Momoa shaves off beard for the first time in six years, internet explodes
Image credits: Instagram/prideofgypsies Many call a beard the male makeup. And with the way it makes men feel confident and better about themselves and their appearance, it might be true. For faces that have been in the limelight for years, their appearance serves the dual role of their identity. How they look is how they are remembered, and in the talks. One such popular face is the 'Aquaman' actor Jason Momoa , who has been known for years for having a bearded look that made him the Hollywood Hunk that every woman fangirls over. However, in a video going viral on social media, the 45-year-old could be seen shaving off his beard, which he has been growing for six long years. 'God damn it, I hate it," said Momoa in an Instagram reel posted on Wednesday. The "Game of Thrones" actor took the bold step as a preparatory one for his next role as he will be reprising his role as Duncan Idaho in "Dune Messiah," which was announced as the third and final film in the eight-time Oscar-winning series. 'Only for you, Denis,' he added, referencing Denis Villeneuve, the director of "Dune: Part One" and "Dune: Part Two." The Hawaiian actor first played the role in the first film, but did not appear in the sequel as his character had died. However, in an interview on the "Today" show in March this year, he confirmed that he would be "making a comeback" in the third film when his character would be resurrected as a clone. The video not only showed him shaving off his beard, but also served as a promotion for his reusable bottled water company, Mananalu. 'I think it's been about six years, maybe a little bit more, since I did 'Dune,'' Momoa said. 'What was really special about that is that's when I started launching Mananalu. At the time, we were one of the first ones to release the aluminum bottle.' Additionally, he also prompted his company's partnership with Boomerang Water, which aimed to reuse water bottles to get 'rid of single-use plastic. For our children and for our planet.' Netizens lament Jason Momoa's beard Image credits: X Jason Momoa's fans have loved his bearded look for as long as he has kept it. One could even say many don't know how he looks without a beard. One of the top comments under Momoa's post was from his girlfriend and actor Adria Arjona, who seemed to love the look and shared some heart emojis. "❤❤❤" Many said that the actor looked handsome both with and without a beard, writing, "Great, you look so handsome omg Jason why do you hide your beautiful face 😮😍😍🔥" and "Anyway you see him or look at him…. He is beautiful, inside and out!! " Others seemed to be sad that the actor had to shave off his beard, commenting "Omg put it back" and "Not to be dramatic, but this is like watching an angel lose their wings 🥲" Some people in the comments couldn't help but attest to the fact that a beard is like makeup for men, commenting on the same. "Facial hair is really makeup for men", and "A beard might just be the male version of makeup." Without the beard, the actor was also compared to some other Hollywood machos such as Mark Wahlberg, Hugh Grant and even the son of former POTUS Joe Biden, Hunter Biden.

Dune actor looks unrecognisable after mini transformation
Jason Momoa has shaved his beard for the first time in six years in preparation for his role in ' Dune: Part Three'. The actor, who reprises his role as Duncan Idaho, expressed his dislike for his clean-shaven appearance. Momoa confirmed his return to the franchise in April, despite his character being killed off in the first 'Dune' film. The third instalment will adapt Frank Herbert's 'Dune Messiah', where Duncan Idaho returns as a clone. Momoa's 16-year-old son, Nakoa-Wolf, has also been cast in the film, a decision Momoa stated he had no influence over.
