The actor took to Instagram to reveal he was shaving his iconic long hair, in an effort to highlight the world's dangerous use of single-use plastic. He left no time for fans to convince him otherwise, sharing a video in which a friend is already half way through buzzing off all of his hair.
He did not hesitate to reveal the epic change, starting off the clip by saying: "Aloha everyone. Um, hand me those braids," and he proceeded to show the camera two long, cut-off braids of his hair.
"So, I'm shaving off the hair," he stated, before explaining: "Doing it for uh…" though he quickly interrupted himself to exclaim: "Oh man! I've never even felt a wind there!" pointing towards his temple.
Jason's commitment against single-use plastic is so impressive
As the shaving machine continued to buzz, he said: "Doing it for single-use plastics. I'm tired of these plastic bottles, we gotta stop plastic forks, all of that [expletive]. It just goes into our land and goes into our ocean."

It has been nearly a decade since the star last had short hair
In his caption, he pleaded with fans: "Here's to new beginnings let's spread the aloha. Be better at protecting our land and oceans. We need to cut single-use plastics out of our lives and out of our seas. Plastic bottles, plastic bags, packaging, utensils, all of it."
Fans were immediately inspired by his plea and commended him for calling attention to the issue, taking to the comments to write: "Always with the best message my man," and: "Yooooo, big move for a great cause!" as well as: "Dude! That's huge!" plus another added: "Mahalo for advocating to create a better world for future generations to come."
