Natalie Dormer (Game of Thrones) plays Cressida in The Hunger Games: Mockingjay, the final installment of The Hunger Game series which is being presented in two movies. The role was actually written for her character to be bald but the above picture shows the compromise.

In an interview with EW, Natalie Dormer talks about shaving her head for the role.

It’s been hidden for 3 months. It happened back in October. I was, you know, waiting for the right moment. I’ve never shaved my head before. My man has his head shaved, so… I’d rub it and think, ‘This is gonna be me!’ Francis Lawrence, the director of Mockingjay, and I discussed it and I took the job on the premise that I would possibly [have to] shave my whole head. I’m actually really pleased that we went halfway because I think it’s more the Capitol… and that’s where Cressida comes from. She comes from the Capitol, so she’s got a stylized thing going on and now she’s turned rebel. I think it’s right for the character.

The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1 starring Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson and Natalie Dormer is slated to hit theaters on November 21, 2014, and The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2 is slated to hit theaters on November 20, 2015.
