Halle Berry is going bald for her latest film Nappily Ever After.
The actress is getting rid of her locks to play a woman having a mid-life crisis.
‘I'm shaving it off!’ she says. ‘I know. Here comes the controversy, but...it'll grow back - I hope!’
Halle, 42, whose partner is model Gabriel Aubry, 33, now chooses her roles with their 11-month-old daughter Nahla in mind.
‘I don't want her to look back at my work and think, “Mum sold out”,’ she tells Essence magazine.
‘I want to leave a legacy that she can be proud of.
'A film has to be really special for me to leave the house. I have to love it. I mean really, really love it.’
