These are photos of Natalie Dormer on the set of Mockingjay in Paris. Natalie plays Cressida, who is part of the the rebellion cause during the Hunger Games finale. She first encounters Jennifer Lawrence’s Katniss during the District 8 chaos where Katniss toured a hospital. She’s also instrumental in helping Katniss and Finnick share their stories as a form of anti-propaganda. Cressida later joins the infiltration of the Capitol, which is what was shooting yesterday in Paris.
Natalie shaved half her head (instead of wearing a wig) to pay the role of Cressida, and she talked to Glamour about why she took the hair jump:
Speaking to Glamour, the Game of Thrones star said, “A lot of my friends ask to touch my head. I just stand there and get stroked for five minutes. It’s a free massage.”
Natalie was made to shave half her head for her role as Cressida in the final installment in the trilogy. She turned heads at the SAG Awards in January where she unveiled her new look.
The actress says she cut off her hair to be true to the character she plays in the sci-fi adventure – gutsy video journalist Cressida.
“It’s fascinating how much of our sense of attractiveness and feminine identity is bound up in our hair,” Natalie told Glamour. “But in the Mockingjay novel, Cressida is described as having a shaved head with a vine tattoo, and I wanted to do right by the book.
The drastic haircut made her feel “peculiar at first,” Natalie revealed. “But you take a deep breath and keep everything in perspective. It just takes time getting used to.”
“Cutting one side of your head for a few months is not a big deal compared with what other people have to deal with in the world. Plus, hair grows back.”

She’s correct about hair being tied to our sense of female attractivness. We as females tend to get caught up on that dead stuff hanging from our head. It’s funny in a way, and it must feel nice to say “f— it” and shave a huge chunk of hair off.
Nat seems like a pretty fierce chick in general. Game of Thrones fans already know her well, but she grabbed my attention by completing the London marathon last month. Natalie finished with a very respectable 3:50 time. She beat Shia LaBeouf’s time (4:35), which should be everyone’s goal in a marathon.
These Mockingjay scenes are exciting and pivotal ones, and JLaw was too busy filming to attend the London X-Men: Days of Future Past London premiere a few days ago. Is this post a not-so-covert excuse to post Jennifer Lawrence photos without fully logging a JLaw post? Perhaps. We’re also getting a look at Josh Hutcherson in his cute little cape. Plus some combat shots of Liam Hemsworth. Ugh, Gale. Team Peeta.
