AnnaSophia Robb is opening up about shaving her head. The 30-year-old Rebel Ridge actress got candid in an interview with THR about cutting her hair, and getting advice from a friend who did it in the past. “Yeah, I called Joey [King] before I shaved my head,” she said, noting that Joey shaved her head in the past for roles in The Act, Wish I Was Here and The Dark Knight Rises. “I was like, ‘Girl, you’ve done this a couple times. Do I do it?’ And she was like, ‘Yes!’” Keep reading to find out more… In Rebel Ridge, AnnaSophia sports a short haircut while playing courthouse employee Summer McBridge, who helps hero Terry Richmond (Aaron Pierre) expose and fight back against a corrupt small-town police department. She auditioned for the movie after shaving her head for the 2020 series, The Expecting. “[Director Jeremy Saulnier] ended up loving my audition, and he asked if I would shave my head again,” she said. “And I was like, ‘Nobody in the South would have a shaved head. They would stick out like a sore thumb.’ So we went with the mom haircut that doesn’t stick out so much, but yes, the idea was that she went through chemo.” She also spoke about her relationship with Joey King, who stars in the newly released Uglies on Netflix. “Joey is one of my closest friends, and I love her so much,” she said. “When I saw that both of us were on the Netflix billboard, I was like, ‘Woohoo! This is a cool experience.’ These moments are kind of unusual, and I just looked at it for a while and thought, Wow, this is really special. I’m so proud of her.’ It’s a special industry.” Check out photos of the duo at a film festival together earlier this summer!
