Jason Momoa is making a point
The 43-year-old actor - known for his roles in the likes of 'Aquaman' and 'Game of Thrones' - has ditched his trademark locks in favour of a much shorter buzz cut and he gave fans a peek at his new look in an Instagram video.
And the start of the clip, he laughed: "Aloha, everyone. Hand me those braids."
Someone off camera gave him a pair of short braids which had already been cut off, and he explained the reason behind the drastic image overhaul.
He said: "I'm tired of these plastics bottles. We got to stop [using] plastic forks, all that s***. It goes into our land, into our ocean.
Momoa also urged people to start using reusable water bottles instead of plastic ones.
He added: "It's just so sad, so please anything you can do to eliminate single-use plastic in your lives, help me."
In the caption, he encouraged his followers to focus on "protecting our land and oceans".
