FANS were divided as Jason Momoa went viral for a hair-raising reason.

One person tweeted a side-by-side image of the Game of Thrones actor and Kirstie and said: "Momoa without his beard. Sorry to all women in advance."
A second user posted: "Apparently #JasonMomoa without beard is just #SteveBannon in drag."
"Jason Momoa is Sarah Huckabee with a beard?" questioned another Twitter surfer.
On the other hand, web sleuths debated the validity of the pictures and thought the mock photos did not correctly illustrate how Jason would actually look with a freshly shaven face.

One Internet browser asked: "You do realise this is a photoshopped fake and not actually a photo of Jason without a beard?"
Another fan stated: "That fake photo going around of Jason Momoa without a beard is BS! That man looks glorious with or without a beard!! Stop it!"
"Why am i attracted more to Jason Momoa without his beard?! Gosh, my man did put an impression on me. Clean chin = more attractive," tweeted a third admirer.
When did Jason shave his beard?
The last time Jason appeared to shave his beard was for a movie role.
From March 2019 to July of that same year, Jason sported a freshly trimmed face for his part as Duncan Idaho in Denis Villeneuve's Dune.
Regarding the decision, the father-of-three told Newsweek: "That's one of the first things Denis asked me.
"I think he felt a little nervous asking me that. But it just felt like, no one's ever asked me to do that."
He added: "He was like 'I see Duncan as this' and he had very good reasons why and I said 'yeah, I think it's smart.'
"I just had to grow it back for Aquaman 2 and for the other TV show I'm on, [titled] See.
"I just thought it kind of made sense to shave it, grow it back and we had time to do that. So it made sense. I did that for him. There are not many people I would do that for."
Did Jason shave his hair again?
On September 5, 2022, the star took to Instagram and gave his followers a look at his then-newly shaven head.
As he touched the sides of his almost-bald head, the actor shared with his followers: "Aww man, I’ve never even felt the wind right there."
With his signature long hair gone, Jason revealed the reason why for his clean-cut appearance.
