The 29-year-old had the haircut for her role as a prostitute in upcoming film "Les Miserables" and she says she was reduced to a mental patient level of tears when she saw her new cut, reported Daily Mail.
"I was reduced to a mental patient level of crying. I was inconsolable. I wasn't expecting cutting my hair to be a big deal. It was my idea to do it, since it was something the character did. Then I realized I couldn't take it back," she added.
However, the actress says she now quite likes having short hair.
"I'm just so pleased with how I look, so I now quite like having short hair. I did it for a film, so it really wasn't about me and my security," she added.
