10 Things You Didn't Know About Charlize Theron

2. She Did Actually Shave Her Head For Mad Max

Unlike some actors and actresses who push for CGI or reluctantly part with their hair, Theron willingly - and daringly - removed her blonde locks before filming began for Mad Max: Fury Road. She told etonline: "This was an exciting one for me. I just had this moment where I was like, 'I need to shave my head! I can't think about what I'm going to do with my hair in this movie. I'm going to be in the desert. I'm a new mother. Let's just shave it.' The next day we did it. I can't even imagine doing it any other way." The shocking cut was worthwhile, with the film raking in countless high ratings from fans and critics alike, with Theron being picked out for a stellar performance as Imperator Furiosa.
