Charlize Theron Shaves Her Head for ‘Mad Max’

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.

Her face is the perfect shape and her stunning, perfect features are emphasized by the shorter cut

She has a hat on, so how can anyone tell what she looks like with a buzz cut?? And the article tells us that she did it for a role in a movie. Geez (eye roll).

But why did she shave it off now when the filming doesn’t start for another month?

she chopped it off for a film role that doesn’t start for a month? that’s dedication!

If she was proud of her new hairstyle-she wouldn’t be covering it up. Its a pity that she had to chop off her locks for a role…I hope the role is worth it. Charlize has beautiful hair. I cannot honestly give an opinion on her new do because she keeps covering it up. Is she embarrassed by how she looks?One has to wonder?

I have one thing to say: PLEEZE GROW YOUR HAIR BACK. She definitely looks so much better with longer hair. It doesn’t look like this cut is complimentary but one can’t tell because she hides the new style.
