12 Dec
Summary
- Actress shaved Leonardo DiCaprio's face for a film test.
- The unusual task helped develop on-screen chemistry.
- Firing a machine gun proved challenging for the actress.

An actress recently shared a surprising on-set experience involving co-star Leonardo DiCaprio. During a film test for Paul Thomas Anderson's latest drama, the actress was unexpectedly handed an electric razor and tasked by the director to shave DiCaprio's face. This unusual assignment, intended to help them develop rapport, proved to be a memorable moment in preparation for their roles.
The experience, though initially shocking, ultimately facilitated a strong connection between the two actors, who play father and daughter in the film. The actress described an instant, magical chemistry with DiCaprio and Regina Hall, which fueled her performance despite initial nervousness about the role.
In addition to this memorable grooming task, the actress also recounted the difficulties faced during firearms training for the movie. She found the machine gun to be extremely heavy and daunting, a challenge that paralleled an earlier scene where her on-screen mother handled a similar weapon, albeit with more ease.
