Charlize Theron Transformation for Mad Max: Fury Road – The Story Behind it and Reactions to the “Look”
Charlize’s part of the story
Your inspiration for transformation
As reported by ETOnline, the actress confessed that the film’s storyline inspired her to cut off her hair. She added that she’s grateful that filming took longer than usual as it helped her complete the transformation without worrying about deadlines.
About the actual decision
The blonde beauty also once admitted that she had to shave her hair for the role, she really wanted to make it. Charlize didn’t make the big move until the next day, when she finally made her decision. Well, we think implementing the decision quickly was a big step as it probably helped her stay away from contemplation. Do not you think?
Hair removal as a “blessing”
Believe it or not, the star celebrity has confessed that getting rid of hair has been a blessing of sorts for her, too. When she decided to ditch her hair for the film, the timing was perfect. At that time she had two press tours and her hair condition was not that good. So, as you might have guessed, the process of getting rid of the damaged hair wasn’t much of a pain.
The Mom Connection
The pretty actress has also confessed that she was also a new mom at the time of the transformation (when she shaved her head while filming the post-apocalyptic movie in 2012), which made things easier. How? She had to manage the shooting and her little Jackson at the same time, so the idea of not having to style her hair every morning and spend precious minutes in it wasn’t a huge sacrifice. In her own words: “The timing was perfect.”
The film experience
Shooting at random for Crazy Max has been one of the hardest things she’s had to do in the last 20 years. The reasons for this were not only the long hours of shooting and the difficult locations such as the remote deserts of Namibia, timing also played a major role. Filming began around the same time she adopted her son. So she put in 14 hours of shooting and had to commute two hours to reach her son, who was not sleeping well. She was sleep deprived and still had to exercise to maintain her exercise routine.
The reactions
The Boyfriend – Sean Penn
Due to the fact that Theron had to go bald, she now has a cool buzz cut. When asked how her boyfriend Sean Penn thinks of the look, the attractive actress said he likes the new hairstyle. She added that they don’t talk about it much, but Sean is fine with it.
The director – George Miller
As reported by Stuff.co, George Miller, the film’s director, proclaimed Charlize a warrior because she wanted to shave her head, pick up a 10-pound arm, and roll in the dust to get the right fight scenes achieve. We have to say that it seems quite a lot.
The co-star – Tom Hardy
The English star, Tom Hardy has confessed in reverence to the character of Charlize. He finds that not only is she extremely beautiful, but she also has the ability to transform a plethora of characters in a plethora of realms. She also has a distinct lack of vanity or narcissism.
After reading all the reactions and appreciation, it can be said that the move seems to be a great success not only for the actress but also for the promotion of the film.
