Russell Brand to chop off trademark locks to help his Hollywood career
April 15th, 2010 - 3:37 pm ICT by ANILondon, April 15 (ANI): Comedian Russell Brand is planning to chop off his shoulder-length hair in a bid to land more movie roles.
The actor is known for his rugged style and uneven hairdo, and has done films such as Forgetting Sarah Marshall and St. Trinian’s in which he had the same look as his real life’s.
But now, the actor is adopting a smarter look for his latest movie Arthur, a remake of Dudley Moore’s 1981 comedy.
In fact, he’s set to keep his new look so he can be considered for more versatile movie roles.
“Normally I play people where the only thing you need to change is my name. But for this I’m going to change my hair a bit. I saw a mocked-up picture of how it would look and it didn’t look good - like Natalie Portman with a beard.” The Daily Express quoted him as saying.
He added: “If I’m going to pursue a career in films I can’t always play Rasputin. I can play him once maybe, play Che Guevara, various homeless people and then it’s going to have to be a hair cut.” (ANI)
