The Snow White and the Huntsman star has shaved her head for her role as Furiosa in Mad Max: Fury Road, a reboot of the 1979 action film that originally starred Mel Gibson.  Theron was photographed in Beverly Hills on Monday wearing a grey felt hat over her chrome dome as she carried her 6-month-old son Jackson.

The movie, which also stars Tom Hardy, is set to start shooting in Africa next month — a continent that holds a special place in Theron’s heart.  Theron was born in Benoni, South Africa, in 1975, and even though she became a U.S. citizen in 2007, she still retains her South African citizenship.
