Jason Momoa is beloved by fans for a variety of reasons, including his take on Khal Drogo in Game of Thrones, bringing Arthur Curry to life in Aquaman, and just for being a delightful human being. There are also many fans of his trademark beard, but those fans had to say goodbye to the look after Momoa shaved it off. Thing is, he did it for a good cause, so most of the internet is doing okay with it, but some are still trying to deal with the loss, and are taking to social media to share their reactions and responses.

Momoa explained why he shaved the beard on YouTube, writing “Goodbye DROGO, AQUAMAN, DECLAN, BABA! I’m shaving this beast off, it’s time to make a change. A change for the better…for my kids, for your kids, the world. Let’s make a positive change for the health of our planet. Let’s clean up our oceans and our land. Join me on this journey. Let’s make a switch to INFINITELY RECYCLABLE aluminum. Water in cans, NOT plastic.”
As he was shaving Momoa went into greater detail about the purpose of shaving, saying “Most importantly, I just want to do this to bring awareness. The plastics are killing our planet, and I think I have a solution. I don’t wanna bitch about it. There’s only one thing that can really help our planet and save our planet. As long as we recycle.”
“I’m on a quest. My journey,” Momoa said. “I got something new that I want to show you. Still alkaline sparkling spring water,” he says before taking a sip. “Still water, but I feel good about it, so I’m gonna recycle this and know that we can recycle it. It can be a can in 60 days. The rest of its life.”
That’s a really awesome cause, and you can check out all the reactions his words and actions are getting in the next slides!

Because You Can’t Recycle
We’re starting off with one of my favorite responses, which comes from @sansaasnark. The tweetย derides people for not knowing how to recycle, thus giving us two problems to now deal with in the form of a dying planet and Jason Momoa’sย beard.

Totally Cool With It
The next response is very much a cup half full approach, as @Anniekin85 has no problem with Momoaย shaving the beard. In fact, now it just eliminates one more obstacle in any Momoaย fantasy.
Iโm totally supportive of Jason Momoa shaving his beard.
โ Annie Kinsley (@Anniekin85) April 18, 2019
Simply because now my sexual fantasies of him wonโt involve me being like โwhoa… first things first, when did you last wash your beard?โ
My fantasies are going to be so much more streamlined now. pic.twitter.com/qV7Ex5yaF7

Either Way
Some, like @Colyrainbows, don’t mind either way, as Momoa looks just as good clean shaven.

Why Did You Punish Us?
Not everyone is taking the news as well, including @_jessemanuel_, who channeled Ross from Friends to get the point across.

A Different Breed
Some fans, like @J_adorevonny, could care less, as Momoaย is just as good looking as ever either way.

Legendary

Other fans like @regpostreroย are okay with the beard saying goodbye, mostly because Momoa is doing it for a great cause.
