Repeat after me… things actors go through to win an Oscar nomination!
To make her role more convincing, Penelope Cruz has shaved her long hair and looks unrecognizable for her new role as a woman fighting breast cancer in the movie, 'Ma Ma'.
The usually gorgeous actress is forgoing her usually glamourous appearance to bring her character to life in order to raise awareness on the dangers of breast cancer among women.
Talking to radio show, Cadena Ser, last year, the 41-year-old star said that taking on the role was incredibly important to her.
"This
is one of the most wonderful characters that I will ever be offered to
play. I fell in love with the story of this woman, who is like a
goddess, a sage," she said.
The Spanish actress plays Magda in the movie, a gutsy unemployed teacher with a young son who faces her cancer diagnosis with optimism and courage.
The film was released in Spain last year but is now set for worldwide release.
