James Gunn on Karen Gillan's Bald Head in GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY
Former Doctor Who star Karen Gillan shocked fans at Comic-Con when she tore off a red-haired wig to reveal her bald head for her role as Nebula in James Gunn's Guardians of the Galaxy.
Apparently fans are pissed, and the director has been getting hate mail, blaming him for making her cut off her beautiful hair. Maybe what people don't understand these days is that hair grows back. Gunn fired back on Twitter saying,
"If you are sending me hate messages about making @KarenGillan2 shave her head, you might consider the overall state of your life."
I think Gillan is freakin' beautiful, and I don't really care that she shaved her head because it's for a cool role in an awesome looking movie. Gunn went on to explain on his Formspring that,
"It was explained that whoever played Nebula would have to shave her head. So Karen knew about this when she auditioned. A bald cap looks fake when seen repeatedly up close & during long action sequences."
It makes sense to me that she would have a real bald head, and I'm looking forward to seeing her kick some ass. In a separate interview with AMC, Gillan talked about her character saying,
"Nebula is the villain of the film. She's an employee of Thanos and she has a very interesting and complex relationship to the lead female of the film, Gamora."
Guardians of the Galaxy is going to kick some major ass! I have a feeling people are going to be blown away by its awesomeness. As much as I love Joss Whedon's The Avengers, I think there's a good chance that this could end up being a better movie. It won't make as much money though.
Are you pissed off that Gillan shaved her head?
