The star, who earned an Oscar for her performance in the film Monster’s Ball, will shave her head for a scene in her next film, Nappily Ever After.
The actress, who received a star on Hollywood’s Walk of Fame earlier this week, said of the scene, "In the course of the story something bad happens to my character’s hair and she shaves it all off."
Berry didn’t hide the fact that she was nervous about the cut, saying, "I’m scared to death but that’s what I must do. I suppose going bald could be a little exciting too, though, so we’ll probably film the process from beginning to end."
