Let's recall the brave actresses who tested their appearance in unusual experiments.

**Charlize Theron**

According to the actress, making changes to one's appearance is not about provoking anger, but rather opening a path to success. She won an Oscar for her role in the movie "Monster". "The movie 'Mad Max' was beneficial in every way. I had so much hair that it was unmanageable. Now I have achieved complete freedom," says Charlize, who gave up her hair.

**Demi Moore**

In 2015, Demi Moore's daughter Rumer showed how she cut her sister Tallulah's hair. She was inspired by her mother's role in the famous 1997 drama "G.I. Jane".

**Sigourney Weaver**

The creators of the movie "Alien 3" decided to show Sigourney Weaver bald for the first time. Such situations often happen in Hollywood; usually, after filming ends, the director reworks some scenes. However, by this time, Sigourney's hair had already started to grow back.

The director offered to shave Sigourney's hair once again and pay $40,000 in return. Also, a wig that looked exactly like her real hair was bought to hide the actress's baldness. Sigourney had grown quite accustomed to being bald, but she would wear the wig so as not to scare her two-year-old daughter.

**Natalie Portman**

The scene of shaving Natalie Portman's hair is one of the main events of the Wachowski film, which is associated with a ritual. In addition, Natalie was pleased with the complete change in her appearance. According to the actress, she had been waiting for such a convenient opportunity to cut her hair for a long time.

**Naomi Grossman**

The series "American Horror Story" is famous for always testing actors in unexpected roles. Of course, for someone, the change has to be very drastic. For example, for the role, Naomi Grossman not only had her hair shaved but also had to wear a fake nose, ears, and teeth, and work thoroughly on her facial expressions and gestures. According to Naomi, the makeup took about three hours.

**Cate Blanchett**

Cate often emphasizes that she does not like wearing wigs. She loves playing interesting roles with her own hair. The actress, who cut her hair for her role in the movie "Heaven", could do it again.

**Rooney Mara**

For her role as a detective in the movie "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo", Rooney Mara had her piercings done in a single day. Before this, the actress had never even worn earrings.

**Tilda Swinton**

Tilda has never been afraid to experiment for her profession. Therefore, the image of an 84-year-old wealthy widow turned her into a courageous actress.

**Meryl Streep**

In the movie "Into the Woods", based on old classic fairy tales, Meryl Streep played the role of an ugly and evil witch capable of scaring anyone even without magic.

**Emma Thompson**

Although the appearance of the actress who played Nanny McPhee in the movie "Nanny McPhee" inspires fear, she is actually a kind, real magician. Usually, people think that magicians are also beautiful. But there are exceptions to all rules.

**Gwyneth Paltrow**

Fortunately, Gwyneth, who played the chubby Rosemary in the movie "Shallow Hal", did not have to gain weight. The actress performed her role brilliantly with the help of special suits.
