Shailene Woodley will be taking a big step for her role in The Fault in Our Stars, as she will be cutting off ALL of her hair to finish her transformation into Hazel Grace Lancaster, a teenage girl who is fighting with cancer!
But before you begin to mourn the loss of her beautiful locks, she will be making sure they go to a good cause!
The young actress made the announcement via her Tumblr page that she will be giving her hair to Children With Hair Loss, an organization that makes wigs out of donated hair for children struggling with cancer!
She wrote:
“as some of you may know, i will be cutting my hair off this coming weekend in order to help morph my physical body into that of the incredible Hazel Grace Lancaster├óΓé¼ΓÇ¥-and i couldn├óΓé¼Γäót be more amped. not only do i have the opportunity to externally shift my current establishment of self, but i have the blessed gift of donating my long locks to a wonderful organization who will then create a wig for someone in need. WHAT AN HONOR. john green (author of T.F.I.O.S.), wyck godfrey (producer of the ├»┬¼┬ülm), and i all decided that this could be a beautiful opportunity to rally the troops of mankind and ask for some warriors to help contribute to the cause.”
Wow! What an awesome idea!!
Shailene and some of the others working on the movie are hoping to get more people involved in donating and spreading the word by using the hashtag #hairforhazel!
We can’t wait too see Shailene on the big screen for The Fault in Our Stars, and it’s awesome to hear that she’s finding a way to help others with her role!
You go, girl!!
