Mad Max Fury Road: Charlize Theron's Video Of Her First Furiosa Head Shave Is A Delight
Witness her--Charlize Theron has shared the first time she shaved her head to play the iconic character, and it's surprisingly joyful.
Mad Max: Fury Road came out five years ago, but is never far from our minds. Charlize Theron, who played Furiosa in the iconic 2015 film, hosted a charity screening of the film over the weekend as part of the Charlize Theron Africa Outreach Project, and to celebrate she shared a wonderful video of her preparation for the role.
The video, below, show's Theron's "point of no return"--her initial head shave for the role, which represents a full commitment to the part. It doesn't show the full process, but you get to see Theron's hair in a half-shaved state, which is a lot of fun.
The video is set to music from Junky XL's Fury Road soundtrack, so we're not entirely sure what she's saying, but the huge smile on her face says everything. Watch it below.
In honor of our @CTAOP drive-in screening of #MadMaxFuryRoad tonight, throwing it back to the point of no return with creating Furiosa. A huge thank you to @TheGroveLA and @ChadHudsonEvent for making tonight happen! So excited to see this movie on the big screen again 🚘🍿🎥 pic.twitter.com/tIZzRw64Gv

Auditions have been underway for a new Furiosa film, a prequel, and auditions have been happening over Skype. Because the film will follow a younger Furiosa, Theron will not be returning as the character.
Some of Theron's other roles are likely getting revisited, though. Her most recent film, Netflix's The Old Guard, has been a huge success, and a sequel seems like a strong possibility, while rumors of Atomic Blonde 2 continue to persist.
In other Mad Max news, Fury Road almost lost the Doof Warrior in one cut, but thankfully the incredible flame-shooting guitarist made his way back in.
