Did Emma Watson Chop her Hair Off for a Role on ‘Dragon Tattoo’?
Now that our dear Hermione Granger has graduated from the Harry Potter gigs, the British actress is in need of new acting roles. Emma Watson is rumored to be negotiating for a role in “The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo” and she reportedly cut her hair super short to bag the role.
The English remake of hit Swedish film based on Stieg Larsson’s best-selling novel is nearing production, but the Daniel Craig as investigative journalist Mikael Blomkovist is the only sure actor to play one of the lead roles. But it looks like Emma Watson has plenty of competition for her dream role. Ellen Page, Natalie Portman, Carey Mulligan, Kristen Stewart and Mia Wasikowska have all reportedly given interest for the same role.
Emma Watson recently unveiled her pixie haircut and reportedly auditioned for the film. When she posted a picture of her new haircut on her Facebook page, she wrote: “Cut my hair off a few days ago. Feels incredible… It’s the most liberating thing ever.” Did she cut it for the role? Well according to The Sun, the 20-year-old Harry Potter star wanted to “look the part” of Lisbeth Salander – the genius computer hacker troubled with a traumatic childhood. The character has short hair with a punk/goth style.
If this report is true, Emma has just leveled the playing field with her move. Apparently, Noomi Rapace, the actress who played Lisbeth in the Swedish version, cut her hair to look punky for her audition and eventually landed the role.
