Charlize Theron looked almost unrecognisable as she showed off her new cropped haircut on a day out in Cape Town. The South African actress lost her blonde locks to play one of the leading roles in the upcoming Mad Max sequel, Mad Max 4: Fury Road.

Charlize isn't the first female star to chop off her locks for a job, or for any other reason.
