In classic Jason Momoa fashion, the actor revealed that his hair wasn’t going anywhere because his wife, Lisa Bonet, made her feelings crystal clear. “My wife would leave me if I cut my hair,” Momoa confessed. “So, I just don’t cut my hair.”
The revelation didn’t stop there. His mane loyalty wasn’t just about marital bliss; it was professional, too. “I don’t want to wear a wig,” he said about his superhero role. Hair also sparked his romance with Lisa Bonet—dreadlocks and all. They met in 2005, married in 2017, and built a beautiful family together.
Despite his no-cutting pledge, Momoa shocked fans in 2022 by shaving his head. Why? To make waves for a cause — reducing single-use plastics. “Shaving off the hair … doing it for single-use plastics,” he said, showing chunks of hair mid-snipping. He wasn’t just letting go of his locks; he was taking a stand against ocean pollution, a cause close to his Hawaiian roots. “Please, anything you can do to eliminate some of these plastics in your life, help me,” he pleaded.
It wasn’t Momoa’s first hairy protest. In 2019, he famously shaved his beard to promote aluminum cans over plastic bottles, citing the planet’s need for sustainable solutions. The stunt even tied in with his eco-conscious water brand, Mananalu, proving his dedication to environmental activism.
While his activism brought fresh beginnings, 2022 was a year of personal upheaval. Momoa and Bonet, after 17 years together, announced their separation. In a heartfelt (now-deleted) Instagram post, they described the split as a period of growth amidst “seismic shifts.” Despite the heartbreak, their devotion to their children remained unshaken.
And then there was that scary July incident: a collision with a motorcyclist near Los Angeles. Thankfully, Momoa and the biker walked away with minor injuries, leaving fans sighing relief.
From hair to heartache, Momoa has shown that his life is as epic as his roles. Whether he’s making waves onscreen as Aquaman or fighting for the planet in real life, one thing’s specific — his mane and his mission aren’t going anywhere anytime soon.
