Just to catch everyone up on what’s been going on with Vanessa lately, she recently wrapped filming her latest project, Gimme Shelter, in which she plays a pregnant homeless teen who flees her abusive mother and seeks out her biological father. For the film she had to cut of a lot of her hair and she now sports a brand new pixie cute, although she says she misses her long locks!

Here’s what she had to say about filming Gimme Shelter and cutting her hair for the film:

Vanessa revealed that she cut her hair two months ago for her movie Gimme Shelter, but was sneaky enough to hide it from the paparazzi! “I cut it off as soon as I started the film which was about two months ago,” Vanessa says. “We’ve been shooting in the middle of nowhere, in some pretty hood areas—abandoned hospitals—so it took a while for the paparazzi to figure out where I was, which I am very thankful about.”

“I loved the project so much that I was willing to just go for it for my character to the point where I actually grabbed the scissors and was cutting my hair myself because my character cuts her hair in the beginning of the movie, and it wasn’t looking choppy enough.”
