The buzzcut brunette – who plans on ‘bringing back the mullet’ – shaved her head in July for a mysterious role in the 2018 musical Sister, which is the directorial debut of Grammy-nominated hitmaker Sia Furler.

‘It was a learning curve for both of us. Sometimes it’s sharing experiences, like, “Did you ever think we’d be in this position?” She had an idea and it came to fruition and grew so fast – and same with me. We do talk about the learning curve and how fast we had to rise to that challenge.’
