‘Game of thrones’ star, Jason Momoa, shaves signature beard to promote plastic pollution awareness

American actor, Jason Momoa, known for his roles as Khal Drogo and Aquaman in ‘Game of Thrones’ and ‘Aquaman’, respectively, has shaved his signature beard to promote environmental protection.

According to News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), Momoa said he shaved his beard for the first time in seven years to bring awareness to the plastic “killing our planet.”

The 39-year-old actor posted a four-minute video on YouTube titled, “Goodbye Drogo…I SHAVED”

“Drogo” walked through a waste of plastic at the beginning of the video and suggested that more aluminum packaging should replace plastic packaging.

He said, “I hate going to the airport or being on an airplane and getting a water bottle this big (holding his fingers apart with a small distance).

“When it can be an aluminum one. They have aluminum sodas and it’s fully recyclable.”

“Aquaman is trying to do the best he can — for my kids, for your kids, for the world. Clean up the oceans, clean up the land. I love you guys.”

“Good bye, Drogo!” Momoa exclaimed as he shaved his beard off for a cause that is to help save the earth.
