A character\u2019s hair can really inform how an actor plays a role, and we\u2019ve seen plenty of drastic measures taken \u2014 like Tom Felton dyeing his hair every nine days to achieve Draco Malfoy\u2019s platinum blond<\/a> in the Harry Potter movies or Matt Smith\u2019s wild mohawk<\/a> in Caught Stealing. Just because it\u2019s important doesn\u2019t always mean the actor is happy about it, as Timoth\u00e9e Chalamet proved with his reaction to having to cut his hair for Dune: Part Three.<\/p>\n Timoth\u00e9e Chalamet boasts gorgeous curly brown hair, and while he has no secret for how to achieve its perfect volume<\/a>, he seems pretty attached to it. In fact, when he visited The Graham Norton Show<\/a> recently to promote Marty Supreme \u2014 his latest project on the 2025 movie calendar<\/a> \u2014 he didn\u2019t try to hide how bitter he was over having to sport a buzzcut for the next installment of the Dune franchise. The host asked him what happened to \u201cthe beautiful Chalamet locks,\u201d and the actor replied:<\/p>\n They\u2019re all gone. They\u2019ve been stolen.<\/p>\n Wow, strong choice of words! Graham Norton pressed on: How long has he been without his signature curls?<\/p>\n I can just see Timoth\u00e9e Chalamet pulling out the chalk to mark one more day since Denis Villeneuve asked the Dune hairstylists to bring out the razor. If this man remembers the date of his buzzcut, he is not over it. That was already pretty obvious by his assertion that his locks had been \u201cstolen,\u201d and all I can say is it\u2019s a good thing for Villeneuve that hair grows back.<\/p>\n Timoth\u00e9e Chalamet seemed to understand the reason for going so short, but that didn\u2019t stop him from asking Denis Villeneuve to reconsider. He said:<\/p>\n It was for Dune: Part Three. It\u2019s supposed to be a nice character shift, and I\u2019m playing 15, 20 years older. So we did a 3-millimeter haircut, and then the director wanted more, 1.5, then we did 1, and I begged him. I said, \u2018Please, please.\u2019 Your hair, weirdly, we\u2019re all attached. It\u2019s like your personality, these follicles that grow out of our heads.<\/p>\n I understand the Oscar nominee\u2019s sentiment here. Our hair definitely can have an effect on our self-confidence, and especially with Timoth\u00e9e Chalamet changing his hair to fit whatever character he\u2019s playing \u2014 from Yule\u2019s mullet in Don\u2019t Look Up<\/a> to Bob Dylan\u2019s coif in A Complete Unknown (which was not actually a wig made from 100% Dwayne Johnson chest hair<\/a>, regardless of The Rock\u2019s jokes) \u2014 it makes sense that he would feel especially connected to his own.<\/p>\n Credit: The Graham Norton Show<\/p>\n Emma Stone probably understands the Call Me by Your Name star as well. She had to shave her head for Bugonia, and despite knowing for a year and a half that the day was coming, Stone said she ended up \u201cpanicking\u201d<\/a> when the time came.<\/p>\n Timoth\u00e9e Chalamet\u2019s hair will grow back, just as Emma Stone\u2019s did (though I\u2019m not sure he\u2019ll rock the pixie cut<\/a> as well as she did), and who knows \u2014 maybe a drastic haircut is part of the price he has to pay on the road to greatness<\/a>. After the second Dune movie received some Academy Award attention (including a Best Picture nomination), we\u2019ll just have to see what happens when Dune: Part Three is released a year from now on the 2026 movie schedule<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission.
