When most of us think of movie stars, we envision their lives being glamorous and free of everyday problems. But according to Gabrielle Union, shooting for films doesn’t free her from typical hair issues. Union, who plays a reality-TV star in Chris Rock’s hit film Top Five, confessed that she lost hair while shooting for the movie.
“I have dark hair, and the process to get it blonde [for the film] made my hair fall out,” Union told Page Six at a screening of the film. “Some people gain weight for a role, I practically went bald for a role. I lost so much hair!”

“During the interview Union also said that her hubby, Dwyane Wade, loved her blonde look, but “once I went bald, he was like, ‘I’m ready for you to go back,” she said.
Yikes! We’re glad Union saved her hair, but something tells us she’d still look beautiful even with a bald head.
