Bald move! Bates Motel actress Olivia Cooke shaves her head to play cancer patient in new film
She's an up and coming actress making a name for herself in Hollywood.
And for her next role Bates Motel star Olivia Cooke has shorn off her luscious locks for an entirely new and hairless look.
The 20-year-old British actress showed off her freshly shaved head at Comic Con in San Diego on Friday, even posting an Instagram snap as friends rubbed her scalp for good luck.

Olivia also had a role in science fiction film The Signal opposite Lawrence Fishburne and Brenton Thwaites in June.
But her new look is for a far graver role, one that could launch her as a serious actress in Hollywood.
Olivia plays a girl named Rachel who is dying from cancer in the film adaptation of Me & Earl & The Dying Girl.
