00:00Jason Momoa might just have the handsomest hair of any man in Hollywood,
00:04but would he still be such a stunner if it was seriously trimmed down?
00:07According to our Photoshop team, the answer is very much yes. Jason Momoa's hair could make
00:13anyone jealous. The Hawaiian actor is known for his long, flowing locks that he often wears down,
00:18both on and off screen. Many people have been known to absolutely treasure his hair,
00:22including his ex-wife, actor Lisa Bonet. In 2019, when the pair was still together,
00:28Momoa told Esquire that,
00:30"[I do not like haircuts, and my wife doesn't like them.
00:32She said she'd divorce me if I cut my hair."
00:35His hair isn't just a beloved fashion statement, however. It makes him look right at home in some
00:39of his most well-known roles, from Khal Drogo's ponytail in Game of Thrones to Baba Voss' untamed
00:45updo in Sea. Still, even the most stellar signature looks can sometimes use an update.
00:50It's hard to imagine Momoa without his long hair, but with some help from our photo editing team,
00:55we were able to do just that. With the magic of Photoshop, Momoa's curly mane
00:59has been transformed into a short and tousled yet still handsome style. The result is a surprisingly
01:05chic appearance that could be a great alternative if Momoa ever wants to change things up.
01:09That said, there's no denying that seeing Momoa's face framed so differently is pretty jarring.
01:14Whereas his long hair adds ruggedness to his look, the shorter hair makes Momoa's overall
01:19aesthetic a little more polished and versatile. One could easily imagine him rocking sweats,
01:24a suit, or anything in between with this haircut. The structure of the new hairstyle
01:28also balances out the rustic look of Momoa's beard. With a shorter style,
01:32the actor's equally epic facial hair is able to take center stage.
01:36Although this could be a great look for Momoa to explore in the future,
01:40we do have to admit that it wouldn't necessarily translate well for some of his past roles.
01:44For instance, even though many versions of Aquaman depict the character with cropped
01:48blonde hair, Momoa's version of the King of Atlantis probably wouldn't be quite as epic
01:53if it had stayed consistent to the source material. In fact, Momoa's hairstyle and
01:57beard in that role were so beloved that GQ even wrote an article about how fans
02:02can achieve the look for themselves. Their advice? Start growing it out now.
02:06Even though it's hard to imagine Momoa cutting his signature locks,
02:09it seems that he's willing to do so for the right reasons.
02:12In 2022, the actor attempted to raise awareness about the overuse of disposable plastic products
02:18by taking quite a bit off the top in an Instagram video.
02:22Oh man, I've never even felt the wind right there."
02:27In the clip, Momoa gets an even more dramatic haircut than our photo editors gave him,
02:31buzzing off the sides and holding up two braids to show that what fans were seeing was real.
02:36The drastic change generated a lot of buzz, pun intended,
02:39racking up over 900,000 likes and plenty of positive comments.
02:43Momoa also included a call to action in the post's caption, writing,
02:47"'Be better at protecting our land and oceans.
02:49We need to cut single-use plastics out of our lives and out of our seas.'"
02:53Based on this video, it's clear Momoa is brave enough to make big changes to his hair,
02:58especially for a good cause. While it's unlikely that he'll decide to go completely bald anytime
03:02soon, the actor clearly understands the power his hair gives him.
