Jason Momoa Shaves Off His Iconic Beard for Dune 3 Role, Says ‘I Hate It’ in New Video

by

Jason Momoa has trimmed his well-known beard, preparing for his role as Duncan Idaho in Dune: Part Three. The actor showcased his new look in a video he posted on Instagram on July 30th, using an electric razor to say goodbye to his facial hair. This shift signifies the start of his work on the upcoming third Dune movie, which is now being filmed and is set to premiere in theaters in December 2026.

In the video, Momoa announced, ‘We’re starting! That’s ‘Dune 3,'” with a smile on his face. Following this, he unveiled his clean-shaven appearance and remarked, “Just for you, Denis,” addressing director Denis Villeneuve of Dune.

Here’s what Momoa said after seeing his shaved face

Midway through his shaving routine, Momoa broke into laughter. However, once finished, his sentiment was straightforward: “Darn it, I hate this!” he declared. The actor known as Aquaman admitted that it had been six long years since he last shaved. His beard has become a defining aspect of his image, notably during his portrayals of Khal Drogo in Game of Thrones and the aquatic superhero in the Aquaman series.

Reflecting on his freshly shaven face, Jason Momoa was reminded of the inception of his Hawaiian water brand, Mananalu. He remarked, “I haven’t been clean-shaven since I started Mananalu.” The actor seized this chance to discuss the brand’s purpose: reducing plastic pollution, improving ocean health, and supporting local water resources to minimize emissions.

Here’s why Jason Momoa’s son is also in ‘Dune 3’

In an exciting update, it’s been announced that Jason Momoa’s 16-year-old son, Nakoa-Wolf Momoa, has landed a role in Dune: Part Three. At the July 18 premiere of Chief of War, Momoa shared his thoughts on his son’s new venture, saying, “He’s about to get a big reality check! He’s stepping into the world of work for the first time. I think it’ll be great.

It’s evident that Momoa’s son landed the role through his own efforts, as expressed by Momoa: “He managed it independently, without any assistance from me. I didn’t want to interfere, and he’s accomplished it all on his own – kudos to him!” He added, “At his age, I couldn’t do what he’s doing now. There’s no way I could keep up with Denis Villeneuve in a meeting and hold my own. He’s 16 and already impressing.

In continuation of the science fiction epic, Dune: Part Three brings back stars Zendaya and Timothée Chalamet. While specifics about the storyline remain under wraps, anticipation grows as filming progresses. The intrigue surrounding Jason Momoa’s character transformation, coupled with his son’s inclusion in the cast, is creating a stir in the early phases of production.
