We might all know her from HBO's Game Of Thrones, as Margaery Tyrell, wife of the late Joffrey Baratheon, a character who is scheming and manipulative, but unlike Cersei Lannister, someone we can all root for. The 32 year old actress Natalie Dormer is on the rise from her starmaking turn in Game of Thrones, and now her appearance in what is probably the most awaited film this year, The Hunger Games: Mockingjay. The actress is playing Cressida in The Hunger Games, who was originally from The Capitol, but joins the rebellion in District 13.
Much talked about was the brand new Natalie Dormer Hunger Games haircut, which features a shaved left side of her head plus some pretty kickass tattoos.
The actress recently sat down for an interview with Yahoo Style to talk about her movies. Of course the topic of her shaved head came up, and Natalie says that it seemed to be a style that was popular at the 2014 San Diego Comic-Con: "I had a kind of reconciled myself to it by the time it I sat in the trailer and they got the razor out. [The cut] opens you up to exploring more kind of punky, funky looks on the red carpet or at events. But I was actually quite surprised at Comic-Con-there's a lot of lopsidedness going on. Girls are doing the lopsided thing, very tight...down one side so it almost looks like they're shaved. That seems to be en vogue and I seem to be ahead of the curve. I don't know if the Katniss Everdeen thing is catching on as well, but a lot of girls are wearing plaits to one side."
She also had a blast working with Jennifer Lawrence on the set. Natalie Dormer's Hunger Games experience consisted of long hours of filming with Jennifer. "Jen has this amazing reputation as being really grounded and very real and very funny and she's all those things. She keeps the mood buoyant. So there was a very fun energy on set," she shares. "And it's long hours-action takes a long time to shoot-and it's sometimes very hard stuff. So yeah, you're just standing in the dark with water up to your neck. It's sort of... after 12 hours, everyone's cracking jokes to keep each other laughing."
