Daily ‘Dune’: Jason Momoa Shaves For First Time Since 2012

Let it not be said that Jason Momoa won’t give the whiskers from his chin for a cause. In this case, it’s for a pretty great cause.

In a video Momoa posted to his Instagram, the actor walks barefoot through a sea of trash in what sure looks like Wadi Rum in Jordan, where Legendary is currently filming Denis Villeneuve‘s Dune. Momoa is playing character Duncan Idaho, and he’ll apparently be clean shaven.

The shaving comes about to bring awareness to the amount of waste that recyclable plastics still leave.

“Make the switch to aluminum!”
