Olivia Cooke shaved her head back in 2016 during San Diego Comic-Con to debut her bold new look while promoting Bates Motel. At the time, she portrayed Emma Decody, a character battling cystic fibrosis in the show. Her shaved head wasn’t for a role but rather a personal choice — she mentioned in interviews that she wanted to do it for herself, describing it as freeing and empowering.
