Jason Momoa was transformed from a muscular actor into a balding guitar player in a commercial for Rocket Mortgage shown during the Super Bowl LIV on Sunday, and fans appear to be entertained, and some slightly scarred, by the ad.

The commercial starts with Momoa behind the wheel of a car, pulling into the driveway of his home.
“What does home mean to me? It’s my sanctuary. It’s the one place I can let my guard down,” Momoa says.
The "Aquaman" actor enters the house and does what most people do - he takes off his shoes and sheds any unnecessary layers of clothing.
"It's where I can just kick back and be totally comfortable in my own skin," he says.
In a comical twist, Momoa proceeds to remove (faux) layers of his arm muscles and stomach, and then sheds a chunk of his long hair to reveal a balding head before playing what appears to be a lap guitar on the couch.
"It's where I can be myself," Momoa says. "And that feels pretty darn good."
At the end of the ad, Momoa's wife, Lisa Bonet, is depicted as Momoa's personal trainer, encouraging the actor who struggles to lift a bar without any weights on it.
Shortly after the ad aired, fans took to Twitter to voice their reactions - with many appearing to find the commercial and the "at-home" version of Momoa entertaining, albeit shocking.
