The long hair is actually his trademark. But they are history now. Actor Jason Momoa demonstratively has his mane shorn from his head. He combines the campaign with a very special message to his fans.
Jason Momoa cut off his famous mane and shaved his head. With the campaign shared on Instagram, the “Aquaman” star wants to draw attention to the waste of plastic.
The Hawaiian greets his followers with an “Aloha together” – and holds two braids that have just been cut off for the camera. Meanwhile, a friend puts a razor on his head. With a gust of wind, the actor is startled by the feeling on his skull – which he obviously hasn’t felt for a long time.
“Shave my hair off. Because of single-use plastic,” says the actor. “I’m fed up with plastic bottles, we have to stop it. Plastic forks, all that shit.”
The plastic ends up in the ground or in the sea. “I’m seeing some things in our oceans right now that are so sad,” Momoa explains, pleading to his fans: “So please, do everything you can to avoid single-use plastic in your life – help me.”
In the text accompanying the video, Momoa sums up the message: “We must ban single-use plastic from our lives and from our seas. Plastic bottles, plastic bags, packaging, utensils – everything.”
Momoa insists on promoting Mananalu in the video. In 2019, the actor founded the water manufacturer. The company sells water in sustainable aluminum bottles instead of plastic. For every bottle purchased, Mananalu says it fishes bottle-sized plastic out of the oceans.
Momoa, 43, began his film and television career between 1999 and 2001 in the US series Baywatch. He also attracted attention from 2011 with his portrayal of Khal Drogo in the first season of the hit format “Game of Thrones”. For several years he has slipped into the role of “Aquaman” in the DC Comics adaptations. He was last seen in the science fiction film Dune.
