Jason Momoa, the man whose long, wavy hair has been practically synonymous with Hollywood heartthrob status, just left fans absolutely stunned. The Aquaman star, famous for his thick, sunlit mane and rugged surfer charm appeared almost bald in his latest project, and the internet can’t stop talking about it.
Before anyone starts mourning his legendary locks, let’s clear things up: Jason hasn’t actually shaved it all off. The shocking transformation is part of his latest holiday campaign with Chime, where he takes on several hilarious characters dealing with the chaos of Christmas gift-giving.
One of those characters? A quirky bed salesman with a completely bald top and long, auburn sides, a haircut no one expected from Momoa. Dressed in a gray checked suit and glasses, he’s almost unrecognizable. For a man whose hair has long been his crown, this transformation feels like a plot twist no one saw coming.
“We had a lot of fun creating the different characters and bringing the energy of the holidays to life,” Momoa said in a press release about the campaign. “At its core, the campaign reflects Chime’s mission to have financial tools work harder for people, and capturing that spirit on screen was a blast.”
Fans, of course, went into instant meltdown mode. Social media erupted with disbelief and memes faster than you can say “where’s the conditioner?” Some even admitted they barely recognized him without his signature waves.
But if there’s one thing Momoa proves time and again, it’s that he doesn’t take himself too seriously. Whether he’s rocking long surfer locks, a buzz cut, or now this almost-bald masterpiece, he somehow manages to own every look.
And while the baldness might be temporary, one thing’s for sure: Jason Momoa just turned holiday marketing into a full-blown cultural moment.
