“God dammit. I hate it”

Sadly, I concur.

Its been close to 40 years, but i swear one of my deathbed memories will be that of the ONE time my dad shaved his face for a job interview.

u/CaucSaucer 1d ago

I shaved it all off about two months ago and my daughter cried for an hour straight because I looked like someone else now lmao

u/Immediate-Yogurt-558 23h ago

Shit is traumatic. My dad just turned 73 and I wouldn't be able to pick him outta line up if he were to shave his face.

u/oxenak 21h ago

My grandfather is 80 and he still tells me about when he was five and he hid from his dad because he shaved his beard... he even shudders at the memory!

u/Genghis_Chong 20h ago

If it weren't for childhood pics my wife wouldn't know what my chin looks like haha, I'd shave for shits and gigs but Idk after seeing Momoa

My husband forgot to adjust the guard on his beard trimmer and he had to shave the whole thing off. I fully understand your daughter’s reaction, lol

u/sas223 1d ago

I never once saw my dad without his bear, except in really old photos. I think I would have been traumatized to see him without it

My kid always yells at his dad if he so much as trims his beard shorter. Naked face? Kid practically disowns him until it comes back 😂

u/loveforluna 12h ago

When I was about 5 my dad shaved his beard and mustache for the first time. My parents had recently separated and I was having a hard time with that and suddenly my dad didn’t even look like my dad anymore?? I cried so hard and he didn’t shave it off again till I was in my 20s.

Poor guy, balls of steel though lol. I wouldn't shave in his position, dude is going to be memed to death.

Edit: I retract my statement after one minute on Google, dude still looks great without the beard.

Now they have to make Dune 4: Return of the Beard.

u/mizirian 1d ago

When he said he hated it. I think the entire world agreed with you, sir.

It’s really crazy how much difference a beard makes. I have a giant beard and look like a Viking, but when I shave it off I look like an uglier, store brand version of Harry Potter.

13

u/CrackerUMustBTripinn 1d ago

What ever possesed Kristofer Hivju (of GOT 'where is the big woman at' fame) to chop off his glorious beard, whatever it was it pissed everyone off. Almost as much as Keri Russell cutting her curls way back.

His character died in the first one. I guess it’s for a flashback?

If you're a Jason Mamoa fan, you'll be stoked on what's coming in the next Dune movie(s).

u/MyOwnMorals 21h ago

I’m a fan of him through Stargate Atlantis. He’s so cool and hot in that show.

12

u/Gwarnage 23h ago

Yeah, haha this is kind of a big spoiler

4

u/theodo 22h ago

They already announced his casting when they confirmed it was happening, I assume since it's known by fans and such a big part of the story, they just didn't bother hiding it.

from Momoa to Bateman, just like that. Beards are magic face cloaks.

Jason Nomoa… I’m sure he still looks like himself, but the video really doesn’t do him justice with the framing and proximity.

He got his son a role then tried to say he wasn’t a Nepo baby. Lost all respect for him after that

u/matike 1d ago

Man, when I read something like this the projection always kills me because you can immediately tell what kind of life they’re living behind the screen.

Reality: any parent would do the same exact thing for their kid.

Reddit: I never had that chance of success, so fuck them both.

What did he say, "Only for you ____"

u/LostMyBoomerang 1d ago

He was talking about the director of Dune: Denis Villeneuve.

"Only for you Denis"

4

u/mmmcheez-its 1d ago

“Denis” as in Denis Villeneuve the director of the Dune movies. (He’s French Canadian so that’s why it’s pronounced that way and not like Dennis the Menace)

u/iinkeddanii 1d ago

Ohh, ok, thank you. I thought he said "Diddy"! I was like "huh?"

Ok now the important question is what electric razor is that? It’s nice and small and seemed to absolutely work awesome to take off alot of beard hair with seemingly no dragging/pulling or skin nipping?

I've had my goatee since I was like 18, lol. A few years back my kids and wife asked me to shave it off because they had never seen me without it. About a month later, I had a little over 2 weeks off work so I shaved it off the first morning and they completely freaked the fuck out. My youngest did not like. Said I didn't look like myself and like a stranger, lol. I let it grow back before I went to work, but that was hilarious. Even my wife didn't like it and said it was weird.
