Clearly, Anya Taylor-Pleasure went by quite a bit to play “Furiosa,” however there’s one factor she did not should do … and that was shave her head. Charlize Theron fairly infamously shaved her head to play the grownup model of the character in “Mad Max: Fury Highway,” and Taylor-Pleasure advised Ramin Setoodeh she was greater than keen to do the identical factor. Apparently, George Miller advised her he did not need her to do this.
Why? When Taylor-Pleasure initially requested Miller about buzzing her hair off, he wasn’t completely positive of the film’s capturing schedule, and for not less than half of the film, Furiosa has lengthy hair (in keeping with the interview, she would not shave it off till the “last act of the movie”). Miller, whom Taylor-Pleasure calls a “softie,” says that she begged to buzz her hair, however the director was unmoved. “He noticed my hair and he mentioned, ‘It is lovely. Do not do it,'” the actress revealed. Fascinatingly, except for the bald cap that is fitted particularly to her head that she wears as soon as Furiosa shears her locks, she has a second cap only for the hair-cutting scene. “That is a second bald cap that has hair that I can truly minimize,” Taylor-Pleasure defined.
“Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga” hits theaters on Could 24, and followers of the franchise — and of Taylor-Pleasure — will lastly be capable of see her illustration of the character.
