Amy Adams went au naturel for her latest role.
Indeed, the 50-year-old recently detailed how she prepared for her role in Nightb–ch, a film—based on the novel of the same name by Rachel Yoder—about a suburban mother of a toddler who believes she’s becoming a dog and goes on to embrace the “feral” aspects of motherhood.
“The hair on the face—that was mine,” Amy explained to Variety in an article published Oct. 22. “I saw it as a wonderful expression of the human experience without any artifice or filters. Or tweezers!”
And the Enchanted star spoke candidly about how her stubborn hair growth pattern actually helped her out in this case.
“I have that kind of hair that just grows overnight,” she added. “One day it’s not there, and the next day it’s like I’m a catfish. That might turn some people away.”
Overall, Amy found her transformation into a dog very instinctive, but she did struggle with the ability to achieve the perfect bark, as the director Marielle Heller noted it was a bit too high. Of course, the American Hustle actress wasn’t at all phased by the critique.
