Jason Momoa Shaves Off His Iconic Beard for Dune 3 Role, Says ‘I Hate It' in New Video
Jason Momoa has shaved his iconic beard as he prepares to return as Duncan Idaho in Dune: Part Three. The actor shared the transformation in a July 30 Instagram video, using an electric shaver to remove his facial hair. This change marks the beginning of his work on the third Dune film, which is currently in production and is expected to hit theaters in December 2026. 'This is the kickoff. 'Dune 3,'' Momoa said in the clip, smiling through the process. After revealing his clean-shaven face, he added, 'Ah, only for you, Denis,' referring to Dune director Denis Villeneuve. Here's what Momoa said after seeing his shaved face Halfway through shaving, Momoa bent over in laughter. But once the job was done, his reaction was honest: 'Damn it, I hate it!' he exclaimed. The Aquaman star stated that it had been six years since he last shaved. The beard has become part of his signature look, especially during his roles as Khal Drogo in Game of Thrones and the underwater superhero in the Aquaman films. Shaving off the beard brought back memories for Momoa, as he tied the moment to the launch of his Hawaiian water brand, Mananalu. 'I haven't shaved since I started Mananalu,' he said. The actor used the opportunity to talk about the company's mission to reduce plastic waste, clean the ocean, and promote local water sourcing to cut down on emissions. Here's why Jason Momoa's son is also in 'Dune 3' In a new development, Jason Momoa's 16-year-old son, Nakoa-Wolf Momoa, is joining the cast of Dune: Part Three. Speaking to Extra TV at the July 18 premiere of Chief of War, Momoa said, 'He's in for a rude awakening is what he's in for. He's into the workforce for the first time. It's going to be good.' Momoa made it clear that his son earned the role himself. 'He did it on his own. I don't want to help him, and he's done it all on his own, and good for him,' he said. 'I couldn't do what he's doing at his age. There's no way I could sit in a room with Denis Villeneuve and hold my own. I was on Baywatch at 19. He's 16 and holding.' Dune: Part Three continues the sci-fi saga with returning stars Zendaya and Timothée Chalamet. Though few details have been revealed about the plot, excitement is building as production moves forward. Jason Momoa's transformation, along with his son joining the cast, has added buzz to the movie's early days.

Jason Momoa is getting back into character with a startling transformation. The DC superhero, 45, took an electric shaver to his famous facial hair in a July 30 Instagram video as he prepares to reprise his role as Duncan Idaho in the third "Dune" movie. "This is the kickoff. 'Dune 3,'" Momoa said. Later, as he gazed at his newly unveiled jawline, he said: "Ah, only for you, Denis," referring to director Denis Villeneuve. "Dune: Part Three," in production now, is reportedly aiming for a December 2026 theatrical release with franchise stars Zendaya and Timothée Chalamet. Momoa's 16-year-old son Nakoa-Wolf Momoa is also part of the highly anticipated sci-fi film's cast. A post shared by Jason Momoa (@prideofgypsies) Momoa bent over in laughter when he was nearly halfway through the hairy effort. Later, as he saw his bare-faced reflection, he exclaimed, "Damn it, I hate it!" The "Aquaman" and upcoming "Chief of War" leading man noted it's been six years since he last shaved and tied it back to his Hawaiian water brand, Mananalu, which he'd founded around the same time. As he razed off his beard and mustache, he told viewers about the work that his company has been doing to shift away from single-use plastic water bottles, remove them from the ocean and sourcing local water to cut down carbon emissions. Sweet family outing: See Jason Momoa's children support him at the 'Chief of War' premiere Jason Momoa's family ties to 'Dune: Part 3' It's hard to remember a time that the man who played the Dothraki leader Khal Drogo in "Game of Thrones" and half-Atlantean underwater superhero in the "Aquaman" movies sported a bare face. In the first "Dune" film, which came out in 2021, Momoa's Duncan Idaho had a visible jawline. While details on the third installment are scarce, the father of two has opened up about the impact it's had on son Nakoa-Wolf. "He's in for a rude awakening is what he's in for," Momoa told Extra TV at the July 18 "Chief of War" premiere. 'He's into the workforce for the first time. It's going to be good. He did it on his own. I don't want to help him, and he's done it all on his own, and good for him." "I couldn't do what he's doing at his age. There's no way I could sit in a room with Denis Villeneuve and hold my own. I was on 'Baywatch' at 19. He's 16 and holding" his own with Villeneuve, Momoa added.

Pete Davidson says Eddie Murphy gave him the ‘best' parenting advice
Pete Davidson is all ears when it comes to parenting advice. In an interview with ExtraTV at the world premiere of his new film 'The Pickup,' the 31-year-old actor was asked if he received any advice from co-star Eddie Murphy, who is a father and grandfather. Not only did Davidson say yes, but he also described Murphy's advice as the 'best' he has received. 'His advice was the best,' Davidson recalled. 'He goes, 'I have no advice.'' 'Because you can't really tell anybody how to raise their own kid,' he added of Murphy's advice. 'But it's going to change your life and you're gonna love it, and I know you'll be good at it.' Murphy shares 10 kids — six daughters and four sons — with five women, including a 9-year-old daughter and 6-year-old son with his wife, Paige Butcher, according to People. As for Davidson, he and his girlfriend Elsie Hewitt, whom he has been romantically involved with since March, according to E! News, announced their pregnancy in a July 16 Instagram post. The pregnancy has been a hot topic as Davidson promotes his two new films, 'The Home,' released July 25, and 'The Pickup,' scheduled to be released Aug. 6, according to IMDB. And it appears Murphy wasn't the only co-star to share parenting wisdom with Davidson. In his interview with ExtraTV, Davidson revealed that his other co-star, Keke Palmer, who welcomed her first baby in February, according to People, showed him what it looks like to be a parent in Hollywood. 'When we were doing 'The Pickup,' Keke's baby was just born and she had him on set the whole time,' Davidson told the outlet. 'She would go into a take and then run over and play with the baby.' Palmer announced the birth of her baby boy, Leodis 'Leo' Andrellton, with ex Darius Jackson on Feb. 27, 2023. 'It made me realize that it's possible to co-exist in both worlds,' Davidson said of his co-star. 'I was really impressed with the way she was parenting on set.' Davidson's red carpet appearance July 27 was a special one for him and Hewitt. The couple made their red carpet debut at the Endometriosis Foundation of America's 13th Annual Blossom Ball on May 15, according to Harper's Bazaar. Now two months later, the couple returned to the red carpet to make another debut — this one featuring a baby bump. Davidson opened up about the experience in an interview with Variety on the red carpet. 'This is the baby's first red carpet,' Davidson confirmed. 'That's kind of crazy. We were talking about that in the car. One day the baby will see that and be like, 'I'm in there!'' Davidson added of Hewitt's baby bump. Though Hewitt wasn't present at the July 22 world premiere of 'The Home' several days earlier, it didn't stop Davidson from opening up about his upcoming role as a father. 'I assume you just try to give them what you didn't have, and what you didn't like, not do it,' he told E! News, adding that he's most excited to 'take care of something and show it the childhood I didn't have.' Davidson also revealed that he received advice from co-star Adam Sandler, though he didn't specify what the advice was. 'Everybody's just been super excited for me, because they know it's been my dream,' Davidson added. 'They all just have been like, 'You're going to be great at this. It's the best thing you'll ever do in your life.''

Kelly Clarkson 2.0! Singer unveils bold new look as she announces return to The Voice
Introducing a brand new Kelly Clarkson. The American Idol winner unveiled a brand new haircut as she announced her return to season 29 of The Voice. In a teaser posted to Instagram for The Voice: Battle of Champions, Clarkson revealed she had chopped off inches from her long, chest-length hair. Her tresses, which previously approached her torso, were now dramatically cut just above her shoulders. The fun look definitely suited the bubbly Kelly, who styled her hair in a side-swept 'do with waves as she returned to the judges chair. Kelly, who also has a Vegas residency, has returned for season 29 to battle it out against two other Voice icons - fellow coaches John Legend and Adam Levine. 'But this time we've got some tricks up our sleeve, y'all get ready!' Kelly promised in the teaser as her chair swiveled to the camera. Fans were delighted to see the songstress would be returning to the show after departing The Voice following season 23. In addition to that particular season, she also coached seasons 14-21. Season 29 will return next spring. 'Kelly being back is everything!' one commented on the teaser, a sentiment numerous others shared. 'Kelly is back... now we all go back to watching it!' another wrote. 'Yay. Kelly. So happy. I'll watch just for her,' another wrote. One fan gushed that Kelly was 'lookin' fiiine.' Kelly's return to the show - and new haircut - comes after she underwent another major transformation. In recent years, the songstress has dropped an astounding 60 pounds - and last year she admitted she used a prescription medication to aid in her weight loss, which also included exercise and healthier eating. While interviewing Whoopi Goldberg on her talk show, the Fort Worth, Texas-born star revealed that doctors prescribed her with a weight loss medication after a blood test. She insisted she didn't use Ozempic, but did not reveal which drug she used instead. 'Mine is a different one than people assume, but I ended up having to do that too,' the A Moment Like This songstress told the EGOT winner. 'Everybody thinks it's Ozempic, it's not - it's something else.' She reportedly lost 60 pounds, according to Extra TV, although Kelly has not revealed the exact amount herself. The popstar, who shares daughter River Rose, 11, and son Remington Alexander, nine, with ex-husband Brandon Blackstock, said that her physician insisted she take the medication after repeated efforts to get her on it. 'My doctor chased me for like two years,' she said. 'And I was like, "No, I'm afraid of it. I already have thyroid problems, I was afraid."' Kelly said the medication she takes is 'something that aids in helping break down the sugar,' as her 'body doesn't do it right.' The hitmaker, presumably speaking about how she didn't notice that she had progressively gained weight, said that she was taken aback when watching herself on camera at one point and seeing her drastic transformation. She added: 'Seeing yourself, I didn't see it... all of a sudden, I was like "Who the f*** is that?"' At the time, Kelly reiterated that she had not been paying attention to her weight for some time. 'It's a weird thing ... I never saw that, I was never insecure about it - I just did not see that,' Kelly said, adding that at her heaviest, she weighed 203 pounds standing at 5-foot-3. Kelly said she was not miserable or depressed at the time, even though in hindsight, she felt she looked like she was 'about to die of a heart attack.'

Jason Momoa's teen children support him in rare outing at 'Chief of War' premiere: Photos
Jason Momoa celebrated his latest project with some of his favorite people. On July 18, the 45-year-old actor attended the premiere of his upcoming historical drama miniseries, "Chief of War," with his son Nakoa-Wolf Momoa, 16; daughter Lola Iolani Momoa, 17; and girlfriend, "Blink Twice" actor Adria Arjona. Momoa and his children, whom he shares with ex-wife and "The Cosby Show" star Lisa Bonet, wore matching capes at the event. The black, yellow and red outerwear was styled similarly to the wardrobe he wore in "Chief of War" as an 18th-century Hawaiian warrior-chief who defected from King Kamehameha's forces as they sought to conquer the Hawaiian islands. The "Aquaman" star, who was born in Honolulu and raised in Iowa, plays the lead role of warrior Ka'iana. He also served as a director, writer and executive producer for the nine-episode series, which premieres its first two episodes Aug. 1 on Apple TV+. The red carpet premiere took place at Ko Olina Beach Park in Honolulu's neighboring Kapolei. Jason Momoa, Adria Arjona step out together at 'Chief of War' premiere Momoa also walked the carpet with 33-year-old "Hit Man" star Arjona, with whom he soft-launched a relationship in May 2024. Arjona is the daughter of Ricardo Arjona, one of the best-selling Latin American artists of all time whose hits include "Fuiste Tú" and "Historia De Taxi." The two have been each other's red carpet companions as of late, having also attended the "Highest 2 Lowest" premiere together at the Cannes Film Festival in May. What is Jason Momoa's 'Chief of War' about? According to Apple TV+, "Told from an indigenous perspective, 'Chief of War' is a passion project for creators Momoa and Thomas Pa'a Sibbett, who share native Hawaiian heritage." The series features "a predominantly Polynesian cast" and depicts "the unification and colonization of Hawai'i at the turn of the 18th century," 100 years before a group of mostly American businessmen overthrew the Hawaiian monarchy, paving the way for it to be annexed by the United States. Jason Momoa's son, Nakoa-Wolf, 'doesn't fall far from the tree' Ahead of the "Chief of War" premiere, Momoa performed at the 2025 Harley-Davidson Homecoming festival in Milwaukee as a part of his band, ÖOF TATATÁ. For the band's climactic performance of Metallica's "For Whom The Bell Tolls," his 16-year-old son made a cameo. "The apple doesn't fall far from the tree," Momoa said. Nakoa-Wolf is also joining his dad in the upcoming "Dune: Part Three." "He's in for a rude awakening is what he's in for," Momoa told Extra TV. 'He's into the workforce for the first time. It's going to be good. He did it on his own. I don't want to help him, and he's done it all on his own, and good for him." "I couldn't do what he's doing at his age. There's no way I could sit in a room with (director) Denis Villeneuve and hold my own. I was on 'Baywatch' at 19. He's 16 and holding" his own with Villeneuve, Momoa added.
