In an effort to raise awareness and fight the cause of climate change and pollution, Game of Thrones actor Jason Momoa has shaved off his majestic beard for the first time since 2012. Needless to say, the fans are freaking out!

Jason took to his official Instagram and Youtube to share the video of himself shaving his beard off in an effort to promote a new line of "100% recyclable aluminum" cans that he has launched in collaboration with the Ball Corporation. Fans have been mourning the loss of his facial hair ever since and have taken to social media to share their pain.

He captioned the video, "Goodbye DROGO, AQUAMAN, DECLAN, BABA! I'm shaving this beast off, it's time to make a change," he wrote in the caption to the video, bidding farewell to the look of several of his most famous characters. "A change for the better...for my kids, for your kids, the world."
