Any reason you didn't 3-bet him preflop?

Look at the stacks. If Hero 3-bets, AK successfully bluffs him, QQ+ take him for more than the minimum (and he loses the opportunity to flop a set and stack them), dominated hands fold, and he loses the opportunity to play his position post-flop. The only real benefit is folding out like AQ, KQ, and rag Aces. With position, this should be less of a concern.

Obviously calling flop and folding turn is super exploitable, but unless you know your opponent is capable of exploiting it, it's probably the best line anyway. The fact the board is paired may even help you to get a cheap showdown, if Villain is particularly pessimistic/passive.

Turning a J is really my preferred line though.
