MTV has released video of actress Shailene Woodley getting her long locks of hair cut for the role of Hazel Grace in The Fault in Our Stars.
In the clip, viewable below, Woodley is at a hair salon surrounded by people she knows as she goes through the important moment. The actress is visibly shaken as her hair begins to be cut off. She refuses to take a look until it’s finished. It’s pretty adorable and down to earth.
The Fault in Our Stars producer Wyck Godfrey and director Josh Boone are on hand for the occasion. Woodley’s mom is there as well – she also had her hair cut that day. Both ladies donated their hair to an organization called Children With Hair Loss and encouraged TFiOS fans to do the same.
Prior to getting her hair cut, Woodley blogged in August about what it means for a person to make such a dramatic change. “I think there is something so exceptionally admirable about one’s commitment to allowing their face to shine without hair blocking it,” she wrote. “It’s all about balance I suppose. About knowing what’s right for you on your own personal journey. There was a time when growing my hair out symbolized something for me, but the power of sharing that choice, sharing the ability to have long hair with someone feels far more powerful right now.”
The Fault in Our Stars hits theaters Friday, June 6. The second trailer for the film was released earlier this week. We’ll be talking to the stars of the film in New York this weekend.
