7 Comments Mena comments on her new look
Mena’s representative has revealed the actress shaved off her locks in June while she was shooting a movie adaptation of Ernest Hemingway’s ‘Garden of Eden’ in Spain. In the film, the actress plays a beautiful bored newlywed who falls for a sultry Italian girl while she is honeymooning in Europe.
The actress says she fulfilled a long-standing ambition by losing her hair. She explained: “I was really excited to get to shave my head – it’s something I’d wanted to do for a while and now I had a good excuse. It was nice to shed that level of vanity for a girl.”
Mena isn’t the only female star who has been forced to sacrifice their hair for a film project. Natalie Portman shaved her head for her role in sci-fi thriller ‘V for Vendetta’ in 2005. Demi Moore agreed to cut all her hair off to star as a woman who joins the US Navy Seals in ‘G.I. Jane’ in 1997. Sigourney Weaver shaved her head when she reprised her role as Ellen Ripley for ‘Alien 3.’

It’s really cool because… well, it’s kinda shocking. If a tomboyish or relatively unfeminine woman shaves her head, it’s really not that distracting. But for somebody like Mena, who is — I’m sure she wouldn’t be offended by this comment — percieved as feminine and in a word ‘cute’, it’s really boggling. Something about that is really awesome. It’s like it’s the ultimate up-yours to critics and such who have always seen her as ‘cute’ or those who would typecast her in ‘cute’ roles. I guess Spun (awesome flick!) was simmilarly an up-yours for her. But this is like the *ultimate* up-yours.
I think she looks terrific. There are new beach shots of her in a bikini with this cut and she is incredibly, radically sexy. Mena is right, this is exactly what she needed to do to leave that old image behind (as much as we loved it). But April, I am so tired of the sheer meanness of so many people on the net when they run photos of her. They refer to her “fivehead,” which I still can’t figure out (I know it refers to her forehead, but I don’t know what they mean — and this appears a lot). And even though she has appeared in so many films in the last few years, the mean spirits on the net act like she hasn’t done anything for ages. I don’t get it. I am a fan because Mena Suvari is talented and makes interesting choices — and because she’s lovely. And I wish Day of the Dead would get released! Thanks for the site, April. You’re great too.
Oh, and I see from these bikini photos that Mena has pierced her navel and wears a belly ring now — that’s new, right? Don’t recall seeing that before. Not as fond of that, since belly rings are such cliches today, but what do you do? Anyway, she still looks fine. (And so healthy.)
I love her new do. Shes so beautiful in that long dress, I think she was shopping. She really pulled that look off. Kudos.
That is not her real nane. She was shopping in the shop where i work in Alicante , spain about 3 months ago, when i looked at her credit card & passport they had a totally different name. Why do the famous lie about there identity???????????
BUT STILL SHE IS A VERY BEAUTIFUL PERSON AND SO DIFFERENT AS TO WHAT YOU SEE ON T.V
MENA SUVARI’S ASS IS THE MOST AMAZING ASS ON EARTH
