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.

That’s NOT a shaved head. It’s a really really close haircut. Check out cancer patients for a “shaved” head. Seriously. This isn’t news.

Charlize would look good with any kind of hairstyle! She could go bald and she would look good. When that hat does come off and shows her very short style of cut, it will look great on her. She kind of reminds me of “Pink”. Don’t you think?

Every women should cut off all her hair once in her lifetime..just to feel the freedom and to understand what cancer fighters go through…I think if would be very freeing to have very little hair..

She did it before in The Astronaut’s Wife which is one of my favorite movies, although it was not shaved. She looks awesome with short hair!

Wow, who needs to be that beautiful?? If you can shave your head and still look that gorgeous…and seemingly just as beautiful on the inside, just wow,
