A Headshaved Harrelson In The Messenger

Woody Harrelson has been experiencing a losing battle with his hair ever since his days on "Cheers". For his new war film, "The Messenger", headshaved director Oren Moverman suggested that Harrelson portray his role sans hair. Good move. The headshave makes him more credible and adds an edge to his performance that he wouldn't of had with his thinning locks.

I'm assuming from this recent video that Harrelson's headshaving days were shortlived.
He's covering his head with a sports cap.

Harrelson doesn't have the to be bald.
I do wanna see the movie.

While actor Woody Harrelson has been characterized as a stoner, he's been no slacker lately, having worked hard on three movies coming out virtually back to back -- films that might help get him beyond his past. "The Messenger" is definitely a must see.

If Harrelson wanted to seriously promote this flic, he'd do it in character, shaved bald.

Harrelson's head was shaved on the Colbert Report. Stephen Colbert, is a huge supporter of the troops and shaved his own head when he took his show to Iraq earlier this year. So when he asked Harrelson if he’d shave his head for the troops, he had standing to do so. Who knows whether it was planned before — Colbert’s reaction suggests it wasn’t, but he had the shaver there, so he had at least thought some of it through — but what happened next was amazing television: Woody Harrelson let Stephen Colbert shave his head for the troops while together they sang The Star-Spangled Banner.

Thanks for posting that video.

Harrison should stay shaved.

Amen to that. It was his shaved head that got him an Oscar Nomination this year.
