Jason Momoa fans devastated as he shaves his iconic beard for first time in 6 years

Hollywood hunk Jason Momoa has made a drastic change to his appearance - and by the sound of it, fans are in deep mourning.

Taking to Instagram yesterday (30 July), the Aquaman star, 45, debuted a clean-shaven look for the first time in years as he prepares to film the third and final instalment of the Dune movie series.

In the coming years, joined by the likes of Timothée Chalamet, Rebecca Ferguson and Zendaya, Momoa will reprise his role as Duncan Idaho for Part Three of the sci-fi hit, after being left out of the second instalment of the franchise.

Since his character died in the first film, it'll be interesting to see how he returns.

Sharing a video of himself shaving his face, the Game of Thrones alum certainly didn't seem happy about his fresh-faced new look.

In the caption of the controversial clip, he attempted to issue an explanation for his decision, all the while promoting his bottled water firm Mananalu, and his sustainable micro-bottling brand Boomerang Water.

"Haven’t shaved in six years, and here we are again," the movie star explained in the caption.

Clearly not happy to see his trademark beard disappearing before his eyes as he wields an electric razor, he says: "Only for you, Denis," referring to Dune director Denis Villeneuve.

Later on, when he's down to just a goatee, he says: "Oh man," and shakes his head.

Jason may have it easy, with Timothée Chalamet fans convinced the star has had to shave his entire head in a buzzcut - with him pointedly covering it with a cap and headscarf earlier this month in an outing with Kylie Jenner at Saint-Tropez’s Pampelonne Beach in the South of France.

Once Momoa's finally clean shaven, he says: "Goddamnit, I hate it." And it seems fans agree.

One admitted: "Hard to picture them like that."

Another jibed of his hairless face: "Jason Oh-Noa."

"He lost his super powers!" a third joked.

Another continued: "Now he’s just Jason."

"Bro looks so different," a fifth went on to note.

Another claimed: "He shouldn’t have!"

Thankfully, however, there were a handful of the actor's followers that jumped to his defence, insisting they're fans of his new look.

"Am I the only one who likes 'no beard'??" one asked.

"Still hot," another wrote, whilst a third added: "Still fine idc."

In agreement, another fan gushed: "Great you look so handsome omg Jason why do you hide your beautiful face."
