Charlize Theron Shaves Her Head for ‘Mad Max’

Charlize Theron Hair ShavedAKM-GSI

It almost seems like a mystery: Charlize Theron was photographed walking into a salon on June 6, and hasn’t been seen without a hat since. She wore a beanie to the gym over the weekend (a bit warm for summertime in L.A., no?) and stepped out with son Jackson on Monday, wearing a chic fedora (above).

But if you look closely, you can solve the puzzle: the actress’s long blonde locks are gone.

A rep for Theron confirms to PEOPLE that she shaved her head last week for her role as Furiosa in the upcoming movie Mad Max: Fury Road. The action film, which costars Tom Hardy, starts shooting next month in Africa.

Theron follows in the footsteps of Anne Hathaway, who recently chopped her hair for Les Misérables

Though Theron’s done a good job of covering up her cut so far — she had us fooled! — she’ll have to reveal that head sometime. And we’ll definitely be interested to see just how gorgeous she looks.

she is still stunning!

Who cares! She can slap on a wig if she really wants hair. The God of Hair is over-rated anyway.

Another upcomin role? You would think she would take a little time off for her new baby.

She could have green hair and still be stunning, she is gorgeous!

I love when actresses do this. Bold move, Charlize! Actresses that take their craft very seriously. They aren’t afraid to cut their hair, lose a lot of weight (Anne Hathaway), etc to play a part! Female power!!!

Ummm…if the movie does not start until next month, why did she buzz her hair off now and try to hide it?? Attention seeking much?

Miriam on

She could wear her hair any way possible and still be gorgeous.
