Today, May 12th, is Malin Akerman’s 32nd birthday! On behalf of all of her fans, Malin Akerman Source would love to wish her an amazing day today!
Actors are expected to sacrifice for their art, and for actress Malin Akerman that meant losing her eyebrows for her indie-hit.
Akerman tells PopcornBiz she did the ultimate eyebrow sacrifice for her new film “HappyThankYouMorePlease.”
Akerman plays a woman suffering from the hair-loss disease alopecia as the lead in the buzzed-about Sundance film which has garnered an August release date. There was no getting around the actual buzz for the part.
“I couldn’t fake the eyebrows,” she says. “The part deserved that dedication.”
The decision to go bare brow was “exciting and nervewracking.”
“The makeup artist turned on the shaver and the buzz started and I was like ‘Oh my God,’ ” she says.
There were a lot of bright sides. First of all, the brows have grown back. The Swedish actress was looking her usual stunning and fully-browed self at the Haute and Bothered Season 2 Launch Party on Monday night.
Also her husband loved the look. “My husband looked at me and said, ‘Wow you look five years younger. Second of all, you look angelic,’ ” Akerman says.
Finally, she didn’t have to shave her head. “We did a bald cap and my character wore these amazing head scarves,” she adds.
Akerman adds quickly. “I will shave my head if called upon.”
