Berry: 'I'm shaving my head for movie'

Halle Berry has revealed that she is going bald for her next movie.

The X-Men star told Essence that she is shaving her head in preparation for her role in Nappily Ever After.

"I'm shaving it off!" she said. "I know. Here comes the controversy, but... it'll grow back - I hope!"

Berry plays a woman called Venus Johnson who shaves her head and changes her life after she splits with her boyfriend when he will not propose.

Explaining her decision to take the part, she said: "I don't want my daughter to look back at my work and think, 'Mum sold out'.

"I want to leave a legacy that she can be proud of. A film has to be really special for me to leave the house. I have to love it. I mean really, really love it."

The actress is mum to 11-month-old daughter Nahla, her first child with model partner Gabriel Aubry.
