Christopher Abbott is open to shaving his head for Professor X role
In a new profile for Esquire , Christopher Abbott said he’s willing to shave his head as Professor X in Marvel Studios' X-Men , but wants the baldness to "feel right."
Christopher Abbott, known for his roles in HBO's Girls, The Wolf Man, and Kraven The Hunter, is considering shaving his head for a potential Professor Xavier role in Marvel Studios' upcoming X-Men reboot. The actor, who previously shaved his head for a role, expressed excitement about taking on the character, noting its potential for depth and layers.
A reporter from Esquire magazine asked how Abbott would handle his dark, curly hair should he need to shave it for the role. Abbott, who has experience shaving his head, stated that he might need to see how it feels after three hours, but was open to the idea. Actor James McAvoy, who played Professor X in X-Men: First Class, accidentally shaved his head for the role and had to regrow his hair. It is possible that Abbott may opt for a skull cap if the full-time shave proves too challenging.
