Natalie PortmanWhile it’s not been without its problems, Natalie Portman has enjoyed the experience of having to shave her head for her new film V for Vendetta.

“Obviously for the character it’s a very traumatic experience because it’s a violence committed upon her.”

“But for me I got to choose to do it so obviously I didn’t feel like it was a violence committed against me.”

“It was actually kind of wonderful to throw vanity away for a little bit because as a woman you’re always expected to be primping and preening yourself so it was a pretty nice opportunity to be not thinking about that stuff for a while.”
