(I’ve always dreamed of going bald. I said, ‘When I get pregnant, I will go bald,’ but when I was pregnant, they would not let me. So, this is my chance.)
In an interview with ABS-CBN, the “StarStruck” alumna shared that the management did not ask her to shave her head as it’s her personal choice.
“Hindi naman po siya nirequire. Ako po mismo nagsabi na magpapakalbo ako. For me, kasi mas okay siya doon sa character ko. Tapos nagtest look kami, hindi ko po trip ‘yung prosthetics. Mas makakatulong rin po siya sa character ko,” explained the actress.
(They did not require it. It was my personal choice to go bald. Because for me, it is better for my character. And we did a test look; I didn’t like using the prosthetics. So I think this will also help my character more.)
Meanwhile, Hollywood actors including Cate Blanchett, Natalie Portman, Demi Moore and Charlize Theron, among others, have also shaved their heads in the past for movie roles.
